No team can be on top form week in week out, but it's certain we'll require to front up from the off next Friday. If our pack get at least parity with their Wigan counterparts I'd expect our backs to win us the match.

| Quote Saddened!="Saddened!"In all seriousness the Wigan game has got disaster written all over it. Although we've somehow maintained the run of victories, the performances have been tailing off alarmingly. Any of that against Wigan and they will destroy us.
The biggest thing next week is matching their aggression and physicality. That is what has won them the majority of the recent derbies.'"
Goons are not playing all that well at the moment, its only Matt Bowen whose playing with any form these last couple of games. |

Did anyone else notice Walmsley up end a Cas player during the game? I can't remember who it was but he hurt his shoulder and his legs were definitely lifted above the horizontal. I'm hoping he doesn't get a ban for the Wigan game.
Maybe I'm being paranoid but this season I have no idea when someone has done something worthy of a ban.

Bowen should be easy to deal with defensively as he doesn't have the 'slippery eel' effect like Tomkins had. Tomkins struggled against the top sides and bowen is no different so far.
Leeds set the bench mark on how to defend against wigan (umbrella style defence) and we need to do something similar in Friday. |

Bowens try return from fullback is the best in the league (match for match) |

He was in that first round.

They didn't last time we played them, they leaked 22 points to send us into the grand final |

At some point in the game Luke Walsh is going to cop a high tackle from one of Wane's thugs So we need to be ready for a bit of Biff?

Bowen is starting to come good, we cant ignore him, but that said our back 3 are very good this year, he wont be skinning Swift or T-Mak.
Would be surprised if there isn't any biff, Wigan will try and niggle us all game and we need to try and maintain our professionalism. But if biff does happen i want to see us piling in on mass and not getting bullied by a smaller, weaker pack.
If someone (probably with the initials MM) does try and take out Walsh, i'd have the forwards completely nobble him, even if it means a bin or worse, we need to show them we will not be bullied
