For me Leigh and Widnes are both wholy unsuitable for this match.

I do not think Leigh would have the capacity so some fans would not get in and the pitch at Widnes is not great and in my view not ideal for playing a match like this.

I've opted the other way around. I can't afford both so I've gone for the CC match.

No not me.

Obviously a coach will get you up for games the players should want to play for him but if a player can't get up for a game as big as this then he might as well pack in.

It definately is, in my opinion. Not just with a stirring pre match/half time speech, but also with the team spirit created, seeds of desire planted and confidence instilled in a squad over time.

You'll always have some players that are more easily motivated than others, but its going to be a variable in every player that the coach has a massive influence on.

Patience is the key for this match: Wigan will look to control the floor, the ruck area and keep a condensed defensive line. As we seen on GF they will bring this sort of tactic for at least the first half, but they won't be able to stick to it for 80mins especially at home.

The problem from GF was that we lost our shape after Lomax went off which is frustrating as we had a few decent opportunities to get back into the game and we didn't take them due to a lack of composure and structure.

Strong words? Give over.
