Sorry to be Mr Negative but i can only see a good old spanking in this one. Our biggest problem is defending out wide, one of Wigan's greatest strenghts is moving the ball quickly and scoring outwide, Richards & Goulding et al will have a field day on Friday.

I sincerely hope im wrong on this one but i just can't see any other outcome. Hopefully the boys will show some of that attacking flair we've been seeing of late and put up a good fight.

Get on it.

I've been thinking about tonight's game, Wigan are top of the table and flying at the moment, they are the most controlled team in the league when it comes to errors, although they have given away the most penalties, it's where they give them away that I've noticed, generally in the opponents half and rarely in their own. They control the play the ball and play the game at their own speed. They've scored the joint second most tries (just 1 behind Warrington) they've made the most tackle busts by some way, the second most clean breaks, they've scored the most points and conceded the fewest so all in all it's a humongous challenge. My only hope for this evening is that we put up a good fight and even if we end up coming away with a bit of a pasting as long as the lads give 100% and we can, at the end of the game applaud the lad's efforts. So lets get behind them eh we've only 7 games left and for some of the players it'll be their last 7 games in the Reds shirt, so lets make the most of them.

Ta'ra and see you later.

KOTS - I think that is a pretty fair summary

My fear is that our defensive weakness on one wing will be pretty ruthlessly exposed - I expect Pat Richards to score one or two tonight

But on the night - you never know - as you say let's just hope for a committed performance from The Reds!!
