Quote: Roy Haggerty "Nobody's arguing with the Wire v Leeds opener. But Wigan v Catalan ??? Maybe Catalans at home, but that's a real damp squib for the first weekend - an easy win in zero atmosphere. Then, next week, Saints v Salford! Who thought that'd be a good idea?
Poor show.'"
An easier win than when Wigan played 12 man Widnes in the first round last year then.
Who's to say the slight underdogs can't win? Adds to the excitement surely. A great chance to see how the teams who didn't make the 4 have improved too.
