... I can't find rain on any long range forecasts, so it's bound to.

I'd be happy to have either Griffin or Connor at centre, just not sure having a utility back on the bench along with Washy is the best use of our bench.

... if Kelly and Shaul play, but aren't 100%, then Connor on the bench makes a lot of sense.

Just watching the build up to spurs v Chelsea from Wembley on sky sports, noticed they have covered some top tiers seats with black covers. Maybe a good thing for next week if they use them on unsold blocks as it doesn't look as bad blocks of empty red seats

And if there are to be empty seats, better to have a black back drop, than red.



The stadium will be ours!

Weather reports like 1% Accurate at moment for Next Saturday .

48hours before get a decent idea. If then that's pushing it

And on The Team ..
Go with Semi Line-up if all fit for me.

Think you should watch the replay again if you think it was tight when Griffin received the ball.He should have passed the ball to Talanoa when the Hudderfield wing came to tackle him.Rankin was coming accross but Talanoa would have walked in.
For such a big man his defence is poor and doesnt seem to be improving and he will be our weak link at Wembley if he starts at right centre.
Gildart is currently the most improved player at Wigan with real pace and all the qualities to be a top centre in the game.
There is no doubt in my mind Griffin will be targeted.
I agree that the form of Fonua is a concern but would you leave him out? NO
I like to have four forwards on the bench and think having Connor on the bench is a waste of a bench spot.
Connor for me offers a lot more at right centre than Griffin.
I would be happy to see Griffin on the bench to come on as a replacement second row
My bench would be Bowden,Green,Washbrook,Griifin

Wow!! First of all it was Yeamo and now its Griffin. Get real, Griffin is currently in great form and we don't need to watch the replay to see what happened because it was right in front of us. Why don't you just support the team and the man picking it. He seems to be doing rather a good job at the minute.

Good post

We all have our opinions on players.
There are plenty of fans i know and some on here who also think Griffin is a weak link at centre.
He has no guile for a centre
no real pace flat footed.
Passing leaves a lot to be desired
Never gets involved under a high ball
His biggest problem is he cant tackle.Some of his tackling efforts are really poor.Even Salford fans told us of this when he signed.
At least Yeaman had a defence and could tackle.

No doubt the cuddle crew will respond with their usual gusto with just how good Griffin is and how he will be pushing Percival or Watkins for International honours

Your confusing the cuddle crew with majority crew.

How a like button would be useful right now lol

Bag of nerves already. It felt like destiny last year, which is easy to say in hindsight I suppose. Just not the same now, we've been far too hot and cold this season.

Griffin
More metres
More metres a carry
More clean breaks
More try assists
Less errors than Carlos
Very Similar numbers of carries tackles busts tackles pens missed tackle as Carlos

Carlos is good
Griffin is sh#t . People seeing what they want to cos a few got the idea going but don't watch with their own eyes

Not in The Cup. Destiny is calling for the double

Not that I starting a blame the Ref message already



But I really hope Phil Bentham is given the Nod for Saturday , Fingers Crossed.

But hearing few rumours knocking around James Childs has got the Gig ......

Regardless of who was playing, Child is not good enough for the Championship, let alone the CC Final!

Even early on in the season he wasn't nearly as bad as some made out. He had a couple of wretched games (as did the whole team), but he was mostly ok. With ball in hand he has looked one of our most threatening all year. For the last couple of months you could make an argument for him being our best player.

The referee won't have any baring on who wins the game, but for a spectacle I do hope it's not Child. Way too whistle happy. If it is him hopefully he is told just to let things flow.

If Wigan adopt the spoiling tactics and interference at the play of the ball i hope he does anything but let if flow. Get em penalised. Also walking forward off the mark into the markers as they play the ball. If we get over the top of them and get them on the back foot then we need to be allowed to take advantage of that,not allow them to slow us down for the sake of not 'letting the game flow'.

Just refereeing to the rules will do me,fair for both sides, my pet peeve this season is the disparity between the tap restart , some refs wait for all players to be onside, some not, and some change within the same game! First time in a long time I've seen touch judges on the field at Saints, usually they can't even run the line properly!

Unfortunately, letting things flow where Wigan are concerned means every tackle is round the head and accompanied with a rake and laying on. We can deal with that as we did in the semi last year but as a rugby fan it won't look good on telly at all.
