Sorry but this is now getting tiresome,at first i had some sympathy with wigoon however that has now gone not least due to their arrogance,in so much collectivley they are expecting the beeb to back down cos "were wigan rugby","greatest show on earth"part of which i agree with cos you certanly are the greatest show on earth as the last few days have proved; so ROLL UP ROLL UP GET YOU TICKETS FOR THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH,you certainly are a bunch of clowns from top to bottom,from IL to the ultras(were are they!!!! sorry its exam time)and their probably too busy robbin marker pens from staples..

biggest club in the world,your not even the biggest club in wiggon..lol.an the world is watching and at the mighty wigoon rugby

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.
