Never lost 2 in a row since Micheal M took charge ?

Could Rovers be the ones to break it ?

Havent lost away for over a year ?

All in all could be a well good night if the team play as solid as they did today.

in with a chance if we play like we did today, still think wigan on the rebound will be tough tho. definately not confident

I'm confident I text a mate during the week and said we beat rhinos it will be tuff genst Wigan but I believe we can do this

Don't think Wigan will give away 13 penalties as cheaply as Leeds did, think they have more dangerous players indevidually than Leeds too. I would also say they are much more of a team than Leeds at the moment, ok so they are struggling a bit to get consistancy but they are still organised and so dangerous.

This said Rovers playing with desire and passion like today we have a good chance of beating them. We do need to keep working hard on defence though because we are leaking too many points and Wigan will punnish us.

The way this season's going so far I don't think there's such a thing as a shock result anymore. Last time we met Wigan the gulf in class seemed enormous, but if we show the kind of spirit that got us past Leeds, who knows.

Quite. It's shaping up to be a very odd season. Results in the main are impossible to call.

Agree with all this but if we complete to 89% again we will be in it for large spells.

I think what some fans fail to realise is that nowadays it's more about whether you turn up rather than who you play as such Wigan found that to there cost being 46-10 down on their own muck before Catalans "put the cue on the rack" (as Kear would say) and let Wigan back into the game.

If Rovers play a more direct game like they did yesterday then I think Rovers can expose Wigan's frailties in that I think Wigan's pack are a penalty machine when the going gets tough. I think Deacon is a massive miss for them and the opportunity is there to take the points IMO...

That will be dependant on who the ref is, if its Thaler we would get penalised for our player getting his head took off.

As much as I fear a Wigan backlash they none the less are in poor form (losing 2/3 with a fortunate draw in the middle). We'll need to shut down Tomkins and not let him run unimpeded along the line.

This game should be moved to Sat @ 3:15

Why is it a Friday night k.o? Not on sky is it.

Gives Rovers a full week recovery period prior to the busy Easter fixtures. Very good planning imo.

I think Rovers will meet a very physical and committed Wigan side on Friday who will be hurting big time and they will have to step up on what they did against Leeds. A couple of fortunate missed forward passes, a hefty penalty count in Rovers favour and some tremendous enthusiasm eventually proved to be the difference.

More will be needed for Friday me thinks.
