Quote: NickyKiss "Play like Wire do against us! Win the forward battle and play the game in our half pinning Tomkins back in our 20 with a good kick chase. They're the only side that have regularly got on top of the Wigan pack in the past 3 or 4 seasons.
If Wigan even break even in the forwards battle we win the game IMO because Tomkins and the halfbacks will have too much quality against their makeshift opponents (although I still feel Lomax may play evening that up somewhat).'"
We need to utterly smash you in the forwards to stand a chance. If we merely have the upper hand I suspect our lack of an experienced halfback, a decent 9 and Lomax will mean we'll struggle to break your defence. Saying that if you were missing Tomkins I'd be alot more confident as I think Wigan lose alot of attacking threat without him (hence you keep losing when he doesnt play). It would be one hell of a grind but might go either way
