Madge's one SL title to Brown's zero title's suggests otherwise. But I'm sure you'll come back with a response to try and back up your claim.  |

Maguire had more to work with. Brown had turned a mid table team into a competitive team. There's not much in them though and of course, it's only my opinion.

| Brown was considered good enough to get a head coach job in the NRL. Maguire wasn't. |

15 minutes to walk a mile at average walking speed. You will need to set off at about 4pm to incorporate all the pubs on the route.
i'll be there

They are not twins. Wigan will win by 12. |

I'd rather Wigan were at full strength so it could be a proper yard stick to where we are in comparison to the champions. TBH Joel playing won't make much difference IMO, Sam on the other hand will be a big loss to Wigan. |

My thoughts as well, Sam will be missed but Joel needs to up his game when he can play again as he hasn't been playing well so far. With players like Hoffman, Hansen and Farrell I think he may find it hard to get back into the starting 13 unless Maguire plans to switch him to centre quicker than anticipated with Gleeson's absence. |

As I've wrote in my preview - Would you expect Huddersfield to compete away at Wigan without Scott Grix, Leroy Cudjoe, David Hodgson, Kevin Brown, Danny Brough, Eorl Crabtree and Luke O'Donnell? Or Warrington if they had Brett Hodgson, Matt King, Joel Monaghan, Lee Briers, Richie Myler, Adrian Morley and Ben Westwood all absent?
Thats basically what Wigan are up against with Sam Tomkins, Martin Gleeson, Pat Richards, Paul Deacon, Stuart Fielden, Joel Tomkins, Brett Finch and Eamon O'Carroll all out. On paper it should be a Hudds walk over but I'm not expecting it to be. Wouldn't surprise me if we won in truth but think Huddersfield would have to play poor and flat for us to do so.

Cant use injuries as an excuse. Leeds fans arent and we had 9 out friday. Last year when we played at the DW we had 6 out and competed for 65 minutes against you. Both teams have some good youngsters and I still reckon it'll be close.

You can't compare playing Salford to Huddersfield but I'm not using it as an excuse, I'm just saying that on paper Hudds should win easily. I'm saying if that was the situation the other way round I would be disappointed if Hudds managed to compete with us. It doesn't always go that way though as our Good Friday 2003 victory against Saints proved once upon a time. |
