Time to forget about Friday and move on to what is clearly the biggest game of the year so far. Taking on the World Champions at our home is going to be a challenge but the last time they came visiting they left with their tails well and truly between their legs. Their squad looks stronger now though and they have some players coming back from injury. Hopefully we can match their intensity from the start as they're going to be looking to bounce back from their recent losses and continue on from their win against Saints. Our 19 looks healthy and with some fresh players coming back in we should be able to hold them off.

Big test for MCB in the centres today!

I agree, he looked good in attack last time out but we're going to need his defensive game today to help slow down this Wigan squad

Yeah who's going to try and injure him next!!!

Not a bad first half, a few mistakes have cost us but I'd say we're at least their equals. That little bit of play in the final moment of the half was some of the best creative attacking play I've seen them play in a while, shame it didn't lead to anything

Gelling

Bubble's well and truly burst now!

I'm not one for bagging referees but FFS this ones killed us time after time

Well they all do apparently

This bloke certainly has!

Felt he did against Leeds too. Mind you we had enough opportunities to win that game from the Wigan spills.

Well thats one that got away

Tackled ok but totally clueless with ball in hand.

Certainly honeymoon period over for now.

Top 6 people said for us. Time to give the head a shake

Two losses to the league leaders and the world champions with a lot of positive attitude, exciting play and growing confidence. Anybody who bags them for their performance this Easter is an eejit! (Yes, I'm talking to you Wilzay).

Few turning points in the game, the ones that stand out are the referees decision to penalise us when MCB arguably caught the ball but at least one on one stripped Escare and passed to support with the line wide open, totally wrong decision on all counts.

Second one was our decision to throw a long flat line ball to Huby allowing Sutton to line him up and flatten him. We'd been pressuring the Wigan line for a couple of sets and that not only released them but the tackle picked them up mentally.

For me, when we didn't score when we were stacked in the right hand corner as Millers poor pass was put to ground in second half could have been a turning point. As mentioned earlier I know when we are best fair and square but the referee made some very poor decisions which knocked the smoke out of us.

Warrington winning makes Saturday a must win now

Cant blame the ref for that and cant fault the effort but the problem is obvious and with all due respect to them Miller Finn and Wood are simply not good enough at SL level. We are crying out for a 9 and a quality halfback

A mixture of iffy refereeing and poor choices in attack did for us. Defended well but the amount we did took some juice out of the tank and a failure to take advantage of the sin binning hurt us. It was therr for the taking but we lacked that little bit of spark. Certainly can't fault the effort though.

Who's expecting top 6, most pundits were predicting us to finish bottom they are now changing that prediction to top 8. I'm happy with us this season, best side we've had since 2004 season.

Up the Trin

Must win for what?

I'm not too upset about that lose, they took Wigan on and came off only just second best. In reality, Wigan, Cas, Leeds, and Salford are all better than us. We're probably of an equal ability as Hull, Saints, and Warrington which should see us into the top 8. The lead pack have run away from is a bit now but we're still midtable with a game in hand over 4 teams. A big game against Warrington next weekend but at least it's nearly a full week off this time

Why?

It's not a "must win" but it is what Chester has publicly said he expects. He wanted 3 from 5 with Warrington being the 5th game. It would mean that we're heading into the second half of the regular season with 6 wins from 11 which would likely mean we only needed to win 4 games from the remaining 12 to make the top 8. If we lose then Warrington go 1 point behind us and we're dragged straight into the fight to get out of the middle 8

Not 'must win' for me but very important. The difference between a team below us being 5 points behind us or just one at the halfway point.
