With wigan having the injuries and 2 suspensions i cant see further than a giants win.Wigans bench looks poor.

Likely Wigan bench vs Hudds -

Mossop
Lima
Tuson
Finch/Mellor

Actual Hudds Bench vs Bradford -

Patrick
Lunt
Cording
Ferguson

Now go away.

Likely huddersfield bench
Gilmour, Griffin, Kirmond, Robinson

Now you go away,mossop tuson and mellor ,dont make me laugh.

Jog on you clown, the only thing making us laugh at the moment is watching your team get snotted at "Home" in front of not many fans, most of them boooooooooooooooooooing, you are in no position to take the pi*s out of anyone, keep your head down pal!

I agree Matty. With a stronger side on paper I’d have fancied us to put in another tired looking performance. I get the feeling after the Salford & Hull games that we are drained after the WCC. Emotionally & physically.

But I feel that the Tomkins bans might just inspire a ‘backs against the wall’ type of performance on Friday

Well we've seen you lose twice on the bounce at your rented ground this season.
Long may 'The Entertainers' carry on doing so for us!!

to be fair, I wouldnt fancy tangling with o Donnell, the lads crazy

Not looking forward to this game, we're seriously under strength against a very physical team. I can see us losing this one.

Compared with what - the Kangaroos bench?



Wigan's strength in depth is superb.

were down to the bare bones and its going to be tough. i cant see us coming away with a win , but here`s hoping . Win or lose we will be there giving it our all . fans and players alike.

I can see hudds winning comfortably tbh. I am not so worried with our forwards as i think we have enough there to still match any other team in the league but the combination of no real goal kicker to speak of, a hugely disrupted halfback combination, first choice fullback missing and inexperienced wide players will be too much for up to cope with. If i were a huddersfield fan i would be pretty confident considering how they are playing at the moment.

Don't dissagree with any of that, we are really up against it this weekend, but there's one thing as a life long Wigan fan that can not be underestimated, is the "Against all odds" mentality that seems to be instilled into the players these days, so nothing would surprise me less than us pulling off a win, we showed on Sunday the strength of character the side seems to have now.

But I do think there's too many of the first team missing, and added to this the amount of players probably going to be playing out of their natural position, it's going to be a tough night for us, but I see it being a great match.

See you all there.

Bookies reckon Huddersfield by 4. Surprised it's not more than that.

Hudds may win, and may win by more than 6, but it will be in no way 'Comfortable'. Our lads will scrap right til the end.

By comfortably i just mean with a few points to spare. I know all the players will be up for it.

I don't think Hudds will get away from us, there may be 8, points in it, 10 at the very most. It's not like our lads will tire near the end, as one thing they are is fit. Should be a cracking game, we have nothing to lose hopefully our young lads will give them hell.

Interesting game this one. I've grown in confidence as the week has prgressed. It's been mentioned already ... a little bit of adversity is something we have benefits from over the years...backs to the wall and all that! But this isnt the only reason for optimism...

We're underdogs and our coaches will have them fired up on the back of this - we're not expected to win..right?
The 1st 12 names on our team sheet are all internationals (if tiny tim is right!!)
If we were playing this game with our 'best' starting 17 - in current form 'post WCC' - this game would still be a tough ask - the adversity factor may just lift us

Dont get me wrong this will be a tough game, if you look at the two teams on paper Hudds have a stronger 17..but we all know games aren't played on paper!

Comon Wigan

Can someone explain to me why Wigan's unbeaton start to the season is supposed to be so all conquering and making Wigan the team to fear/despise in the same breath.

Started by Drawing with St Helens - Although to be fair for 70 minutes were the best team by miles - but Sts are poor this season.


Next was Bradford a big victory against a shocking side who have beaten only Wakey and Crusaders

Next was Salford - Nice win but Salford are worse than poor.

Then scraped it against Hull who have only won one this season.

So 3 wins and a draw against the lesser lights.

Next three games are Giants, Wolves and Rhino's and the Warriors have a mini injury crisis.

If anyone wants to claim that the modern side can hold a candle to the legendary exploits of the undoubtedly great Wigan team of the late eighties and early nineties they need to win these games.

Otherwise they will be in danger of being one season wonders and the arrogance shown by my fellow Wiganers will have been shown to be premature.

You can only play whats in front of you..the Hull game was a tight one and if we're honest we're not hitting top form at the moment. However you fail to mention that when the chips were down Wigan came within inches of beating the best club side in the world only a few weeks ago. Rest assured whilst we have the current regime is in place, Wigan will be in with a shout of winning silverware over the coming years.

Literally?

Least the rat won't be throwing any sucker punches

We are underdogs for sure, but for some reason I just get the feeling that we will win. I'm probably wrong (hope not). Don't think we have clicked yet this season. Bradford was good, St George good but we have yet to hit our straps. Regardless of who plays hopefully this will be tomorrow night.

It's time for this strength in depth we all keep going on about to show us how good it really is.

Come on lads!

Have you seen some of the comments on the Hudds board?

Can’t help but laugh at how Shudds fans now think they are a ‘big’ team lol.

Come back when we open the away end at the DW for you
