It's easy for teams to get used to the sort of spirit when they're achieving as consistently as a team like Wigan have during the super league years. For us, it's something which a lot of the players possibly won't have seen before (thinking of the young lads who've come through our system), and they should rightly be pleased about it, and tell the world. It's a pleasure to see, and it rubs off on the fans.

Surprised he has time to think about us. Thought he'd be composing his half time briefing for Thaler.

I think this is a game to far. 5 day turnaround from saints is gonna be hard
I know we won well but in them conditions it'll taken a bit out the tank. We were intense and the build up will of been all week in the lead up. More so than a regular league game. Plus we've had a long hard run of games. Personally I'd of refreshed the squad quite a bit. But momentum is hard to argue against.

Don`t worry, I am sure your second coming will be the focus of the commentary team.

no naughton according to radford

straight swap for michaels

Not really gonna change much that, every team has been consistently attacking that side anyway, granted naughton has been better defensively than Michaels in my opinion.

Shows how people see the game differently , thought the complete opposite to be honest

Agree I think Michaels has been better defensively and probably unlucky to lose his starting spot.

The last coach to stick his nose into how the team do things was Dennis Betts and look how that turned out!!

I love the fact that we have a fabulous team spirit currently, and I love it even more if it's rankling at Wane

Wigan often have 3 sometimes 4 in the tackle, then each one in turn reganes his feet. how can they roll away as theyre supposed to do?

Tend to agree with this . Wigan by 10 -14 points.

That's the fine line that they bend which we'll have to try to win pens off

thaler wont give us anything in that area, prooved it at the kcom earlier in the league and previous matches at the dw stadium, he is weak in policing that area with wigan

Short turnaround, return of the prodigal son, rfl sanctioned cheating. We'll lose. They're grubby though and we're not

To true mate hopefully we won't need to worry about ptb's after last week's performance

Not at all confident. It's very hard to have back to back excellent performaces especially within five days. We'll need to be at our best to win at the DW and I'm not sure it'll happen.

Still, we have points in the bag and as long as we bounce back next weekend a defeat tomorrow night won't be the end of the world.

Wigan always do the three man tackle and slow it down ,i have not a problem with that what i do have a problem with is if we do it , we get penalised.It will be a really hard game to win even tougher with Thaler in charge

You must be joking

I wonder if we've ever won at wigan and saints within 5 days of each other in our history?

Just what I personally remember seeing, but point was more that that side hasn't been well handled by anyone this year. Every team goes straight for it.

we don't often win at wigan and saints in the same season

free hit for me. hope for a good performance and no injuries. our next 3 games are definately winnable

This.

might have to change my mind now. clarke has tipped wigan

He has already got his sock ready. "Wigan, Wigan, Tomkins, Wigan, Tomkins, must mention Hull, Tomkins, Wigan, Wigan."
