GAME ON : Wigan Warriors v Wakefield Trinity - 19:45:00 GENERAL CHAT ABOUT THE GAME, BUILD UP, THE ACTION AS IT HAPPENS AND AFTERMATH BELOW.

Be interesting to see who recovers from a derby bashing. My moneys on Wigan.

I don't think that Wakefield's poor form will continue much longer.


The long run of injuries has lead to a massive fall in confidence, which has failed to end with the return to the team of many of them.

However, they are professional players and they will be smarting after their second half submission against Cas.

With Jowitt back at full back I expect Brough to run the show tonight and Wakefield to come away with a surprise morale boosting win.

Wigan by a few scores I think.

We didn’t get much of response from the Catalans game so I doubt we’ll get a response from the Cas game.

Wakefield have no confidence and only one game plan. I would be very shocked if they got anything from this game.

Wigan by 22

Wakey are clearly not playing for Chester. Wigan by 18.

The pies by plenty hopefully. I'd love to see Wakey get relegated this season.

Hopefully Saints put out a weak team this weekend get beat and put Wakefield in further trouble.

Wakefield by 8

We are. We are resting 10 regular first team players and putting academy players out

Well Wigan have trained well again.
They should be selling season ticket for their training sessions next season - it seems the place to be if you want to see great rugby.
Still - Wigan will have won by half time.

Can’t believe how lethargic Wakey look, just don’t look interested a jot.

This is going to be a stroll. Brough especially doesn’t bothered, usually spits his dummy when he makes a mistake but not even doing that.

Brough showing he should have retired a couple of years ago.

People need to realise that Wigan is depleted with injuries. By contrast Wakefield has its star forward signings David Fifita and Pauli Pauli playing off the bench. For Wakefield to be down 28-0 before half time under these circumstances is a sign that the team is in free fall and that the club is probably a candidate for relegation at the end of the year.

For Super League to lose Wakefield, retain London, and acquire either Toronto or Toulouse, would be a huge bonus for Super League. Let us all pray that this happens.
