A chance of going top if results go our way. Wigan looked pretty ordinary in that second half and will be eager to bounce back at home so I would expect Phelps back at Fullback with Roberts moving back to the wing . Another team who have utilised the kicking game well (probably the best team at it) so another busy night for our wingers again. I think our forwards will have their toughest game yet containing the likes of Fielden , Feka and Coley . Hopefully , Longy will be back for this game as we will need more creativity in attack to break down a very tight defence.

This will be close, I reckon, but I think Wigan will edge it. They'll be looking to put in a massive performance after last night, and with home advantage I think they'll just shade it.

I don't expect us to win this one but I hope we compete and give them a real game. If we are still in the game at halftime we could win it but our attitude needs to be spot on.

I agree with what Agar said last night, it is exactly what we need right now, a games against real tough opposition away from home as it should mean training goes up a notch in terms of intensity.

The first 20 mins are going to be crucial imo. They've blown teams away already this season by half time.

I'm hoping we treat this as a huge game in terms of the build up this week and really go for it. Wigan are a good side and will probably be our toughest test yet for the pack so we will really need the whole team to turn up to get the win. As much as I have been campaigning for Moa to play I actually think Wigan are very clever at exploiting any gaps down the middle so it may be better for this game to have a more solid defensive unit and bring Radford back in.

IMO Hull are going to have to give 110% to beat wigan, Should be a Corcker

Im confident of a win myself. I think we are to big for them. Their back row is young fit and mobile but a bit light, Feka dont get enough game time, thankfully! I think like against Cas, Manu, Fitz and Mark O will push them back time and time again and the game will be played in their half for the first half. Then Long, Horne and Tansey will do their stuff in the second half.
That what I am hoping for anyway

got to up our game a bit to beat them. Last nights performance was good, but a better side would have capitalised on our errors.

Long could make all the difference, he'll be really up for beating Wigan if he is fit.

It should be a super game imo.

Our players belived their own press last night and got way ahead of themselves but i'd expect they'll be brought back down to earth with a huge bump this week by the coaching staff.

Whats Longs chances looking like?

It'll add hugely to the game if he's fit.

likely to be fit is the last we have heard

Rumours are he will be back.

I sure hope so, long will be a boost to the team.

Why not? its only 13 men v 13 men. We should go with the attitude that its a very winable game, which it is. We aren't world beaters but then i dont thinkn they are yet. We have beaten harder teams than they have played this season.

But yes, it will be our hardest test also!

Agar and Long himself both said on radio last night that'll he'll be back for the Wigan game

Should be a close game with both teams capable of winning it. I think the team who want it more on the day will just scrape it. Too close to call for me but if we put in the effort etc i will be happy enough.
However these are the games we need to be looking to win if we want to get some silverware this season. We proved against Saints we can rise to the occasion lets hope we do so again on Friday.

Think verry winnable, Wigans pack light wieght so put the press on them from the start hurt them in the tackle and charge with venom.
Will try to play it in our half so return kicks early to upset them.
Agree Radford should be back in and hope Longy's back .

Glad to hear that Long should be back.

It'll make for a better game and atmosphere with him on the field.

Looking forward to it.

And might help us win the game?

Unable to get to the match.. not on sky



Gollum it is then

If both teams are on song,it should be a cracker.This game is obviously going to be a yardstick on how we have progressed.

Assuming we're being covered as the main game. I know it's top vs (probably) 3rd, but Rovers are playing Wakefield and Lloyd was pretty harsh about us last night. In the 30 minutes I caught after the game, him and Lee Richardson mentioned the Crusaders result 4 times and pretty much reckoned we'd played no one yet and would get our come-uppance at Wigan. So they'll be featuring the Wakefield game where Rovers will go level with us on points IMO.

Yeah Gollum just could not bring himself to give us any credit against a poor Cas side. Sure Rovers got plenty of credit against the same poor cas side though.

Longy will deffo be back.

He wanted to play last night but pope said hed be better off giving it another week,hes chomping at the bit for this one

should be a very good game for us hope to get there

hopefully we will get the win

I heard it whilst driving home, what a complete pair they are!!
Clearly Saints and Huddersfield are know-ones in their world

I hope this is a painful season for Gollum & Co
