Fair enough. See post below yours. You aren't the first to say that!
For the record, I think you're right. I think it's true to say that the Easter period often shakes the table up a bit and we generally get a picture for where teams are after it. Especially so, in this case, as playing Leeds (even an injury hit one), Saints and Wakefield in 10 days should be quite revealing.

| With a seriously depleted side through injury I'd settle for a 19 nil win at Wigan.

It didn't cost us the game at Bradford. Poor defence and an even worse attitude in the 2nd half cost us the game. Roberts made one error that just happened to be the last play of the match. The game was won and lost way before that. On the other hand he has been responsible for winning us several games. Just ask the Cas fans. He scored three and made three on Sunday.
Incidentally, during the Bradford match he was responsible for more points than he cost us with that one play. His outstanding break in the first half from which we scored made up for his error on it's own. Don't be a mug who looks at one dropped ball and thinks that was the reason the game was lost. Unless you don't really think that and are just stirring it, in which case fair enough!

That timely reference deserves some detailWiganSubsLeedsSubs:
Gareth Stephens, Vince Fawcett
Tries: Phil Ford (2), Jon Bentley
Goals: Simon Irving (3)
Drop Goal: Garry Schofield
One of the best night's ever at Central Park. Simon Irving kicked a conversion off the first Phil Ford try before the referee was ready. Right off the touchline, wrong side for a right footer, it sailed straight between the sticks. No way could he do it again when the referee was finally ready, straight between the sticks again. Not forgetting Billy McGinty dropping the ball twenty out with about a five man overlap to keep Wigan scoreless. Brilliant.

Yeah, like whatever.
Roberts holds on to that possession (and he has no-one but himself to blame for the sloppy carry) and Wigan probably see the game out after challenging Bradford to go the length with their final set of six.
I agree Bradford still had to score the winner and it took a good piece of play from L'Estrange and Hall but they'd have not had the opportunity but for Amos' good grace.

I thought you would pick up on that.
Who was injured? from memory it was something like 9 players. I remember Ellery being one.

The backs weren't so bad, missing Carl Gibson and perhaps John Gallagher but up front and on the bench Leeds might have had Shaun Wane, Colin Maskill, Paul Dixon, Cavill Heugh, Ellery Hanley and David Heron all there or therabouts if available.

He's had some pretty good reports thus far who would he be replacing?

I think you'll find that in the return game...we returned the compliment to the tune of 24-0

I think you might be missing the point. The point being we had a similar injury problem for that game as is likley to be the case on Friday.
