Quote: Cibaman "When Wigan were the only full time squad, John Monie said they were always a bit sluggish during the first half of the season, prone to the odd setback. They used to flog the players, lots of endurance and strength work. In the second half of the season they cut down on the weights, concentrated on speed are were untouchable.
We do have a bit of an advantage over the SL teams in that its almost certain we'll be in the Middle 8's whereas they're doing their damndest to stay out of them. They cant really afford to aim to peak late on. Hopefully we will be much sharper.'"
That is our main advantage, Cibaman. Maybe some of their best players may well be, 'flogged to death', trying to escape being in the bottom four. Main hope for championship teams is to keep our best 17 fit and raring to go. It will still be hard, make no mistake.
