Can't wait for tonight! been dreading it all week but excitement's kicking in, underdog with nothing to lose, we're due a half decent performance

Wigan win for me. Big reaction from last week. If the Giants players are as complacent & smug as their fans over this game, could be a beating.

seriously considering just bunking off work early so I can miss all the traffic and get to Huddersfield earlier! really looking forward to the game regardless of the result, which seems to be heavily tipped in Huddersfields favour everywhere, and cannie wait for kick off

Sadly, If Huddersfield play at 80% or above of their potential, I can't see anything other than an embarrassing drubbing for us.
Our pack won't match the Giants work rate, and our half back pair are simply not good enough.

I can't get to the game, so I'll be trying not to put my foot though the telly when tweedledumb and tweedledumber start to gloat...

I know the loser technically gets another go, but tonight is knock out football. There is no such thing as form in the playoffs (we should know that having been on the end of several weird results)

1999 we lost to 5th placed Cas who went all the way to the final 3
2000 we hammered Saints one week only to be hammered the next
2003 we went from 3rd to the final
2005 Bradford WON it from 3rd whilst Saints came top and didn't make the final
2009 Catalans got to the final 3 from 8th
2012/2013 Leeds won it from 5th having called for their coaches head all season

Do I need to remind people about Bradford 2007?


Ignore the last few months. The season starts tonight.

Oh great, now I'm watching the Bradford playoff game again!

That defense for the first try is a joke. Commentators can praise Brough but he just ran through an inviting gap.

Blake Green is awful. He has no idea.

Not as bad as Powell. What a pudding.

Coming from a Bradford fan that's brilliantly ironic.

Flower having a great game so far,

He's a good player.

Powell did look off the pace, hopefully a good preseason will bring him up to it. Against Leeds he looked quite good, offloaded a lot.

When the ball comes out from our players = loose carry/knock on
When the ball comes out from a Huddersfield player = it was played at/new set of 6

All is forgiven Blake

Clinical from Wigan. Huddersfield still the biggest pretenders in Super League.

Eddie and Stevo seem to be devastated after Greens try...

Good win for Wigan, Hudds seemingly not up to this standard. That said is a week off what you really want?!

Great, solid performance. Especially defensively.

I was a little bit worried when we were getting dropout after dropout without scoring. Matty Smith MOTM for me though.

Refer to article 320, item13, sub section1.2b of the wigan rule book

Looked ominous in the first 20. Keeping it to 1 score, as against Leeds last week meant you were always in the game.

Hudds had nothing left in 2nd half & though scoreboard didn't run away, there was never much doubt Wigan would run over them.

Well Done Wigan.Great performance.Only word for Hudds is "Schooled".
After the week long drivel from Sky and their totally over the top praising of Huddersfield then that was a reality check.
Stevvos love child Danny Brough is at times like a sulky little schoolboy.Great player but when things dont go his way he can be terrible.
Good Luck for the next game.Really want to see you guys in the GF.

Still think Wire and Leeds are bigger faves than us. I just think we've moved from 4th faves to 3rd.

I'd agree with that without Lockers but its nice to silence a few doubts and doubters.

7116 was around 10% up on their average, which considering the weather conditions and it being on a Thursday night was a pretty good effort.

Somehow, I cant see Warrington getting less than 7116 for a Saturday afternoon, but then again I cant see them being 10% up on their average crowd either.

first chance I've had to post since last night,
just thought i'd say well done, you deserved the win you were the better team on the night and your defence was great, we never got a sniff really and snuffed out our attacks before they got going, not that we were very inventive. you got your tactics spot on

hopefully we will see you again in 2 weeks to end your season
