Our toughest match so far, we were poor against Saints, but are now starting to pull together. We have the protential to win but how confident are you?
I think a few factors will play a big part.
1/ The weather, so far the Aus signings have struggled in the wet conditions so we will have to see.
2/ The 3/4s, Wigan have some class players in Roberts, Gleeston and Richards. I really hope Sheriffe is fit and Nero can hit some form otherwise we may struggle to control them. However our wing defense has got better I hope we can contain them.
3/ Tomkins and Leulaui vs Orford and Kearney, this will be a big battle and I really hope Orfords experience will win this battle, a good one to watch.
5/ Forwards, with Fielden, Coley and Paleaaesina some hard running forwards we need to ensure we can lay down the platform with our forwards like we did against Castleford. Hopefully Langleys continued form and Menzies class will show through. Scurton is still playing well and Lynch too so another good battle.
Just to add it will be Deacons first match against us so he will really be up for it and he really turned the game around vs Warrington a few weeks ago.
I think this will be a great game for neutrals and I think a score similar to 27-26, Orford drop goal
