Be surprised if it's not same again

Always feel this is one of the dullest, most uninspiring fixtures of the season. When they're playing well - they're boring. When they're playing badly - they're boring. No away support, no atmosphere and all a bit of a snorefest. There will likely be a big response to the Leeds defeat though so hopefully we can play well with the ball and come away with a good win.

Weird isn't it, always feels as a speccy like a game to get through rather than look forward to, weather forecast not great either, come away with a win and then forget about it, job done

They shouldn’t be in Superleague

I still have nightmares of the 2008 game when they came to us & properly thumped us. That was the "you're not fit to wear the shirt" game. Utter shambles from Lockers et al (improved afterwards, but the only time I've walked out early in disgust).
Don't count yer chickens just yet.They'll be sulking from last week & we need to make sure everyone's on the ball & don't underestimate them.
(Although I agree with the dire support they send over every game. They managed a turn out for the Whiners, so there are some puddin's that give a stuff, just can't be ar'd to drive over the bump).

If you look at the 21 man squad they’ve named they’ve got a pretty steady side on paper and should be closer the top than bottom, hopefully last weeks thumping doesn’t spring them into life.

I had a similar thought hoping this week isn’t the one that clicks for them.

Not as confident in Wigan as I was last year.

Think we’ll be same again. Nsemba is knocking on the door though, hatrick for the reserves. Hopefully he’ll get a game soon.

Agree with previous posts about this never being an exciting fixture, but I'm actually looking forward to it.

I have concerns about our pack in wet weather football. We've shown that we can raise the intensity and our strike in the backs will always make us dangerous, but in weather like this when the game will be played 90% through the middle I have concerns based on past games which hopefully we can answer some of tonight.

Same 17 as last week

We won, move on, the end.

I think seeing the condition tonight I’ll credit the lads for winning. Same as last week. We really struggled before in wet weather. Obviously against a side low on confidence but still good to get under our belt

Honestly, this stupid bloody fixture. Drenched. 2 points. Yay.

Dreadful conditions, happy with the win and move on, as people say. The only real takeaway from the game I could add is to continue my belief that French won’t work at 6 unless he is prepared to run the ball. He is very very rarely taking the ball in to the line and unless he adds that, it just can’t work. I’m not writing it off, I called for patience in the week and think it absolutely could work but not if he continues to play it as he has been these last few weeks.

Anybody know who got put on report right at the end ?

Think it was Shorrocks

Wondering the same myself. It looked to be in the right sided second row/centre channel, so maybe Shorrocks or King but I totally missed it.

God I hate Huddersfield. Everything about them, right down to their $hit kit colours aggravates me.

Was disappointed when I saw the weather.

Made for a dull game.

Harry Smith kicking superb again.

Miski had a brilliant game.

We move on

Great win for Wakey tonight, I could honestly stand getting beat next week knowing it would drag Hudds and Cas right into a relegation battle

Win is a win. Slightly off topic, Leyth look bloody good these days.

I think that answered my concerns in that we weren't trampled over, but then again, they were awful.

Take the win, move on.

We were the only team that looked like scoring. Only six points conceded., it will do me.

I hope we get them at Wembley l.

As it goes, I couldn't make the game, but I figured before the game that it wouldn't be the worst one to miss, and so it seemed. I've seen the brief highlights, and some nice tries, and a win, in ugly conditions. Surely, all good, we move on?
