I understand where you're coming from and you could be right.
It's rarely just 'one' thing, but specifically for Wigan if I had to chose one thing it would be the mental side - and the lead up to the game is so important.

Skill and power wise - well we won't be doing much this week that's for sure. I don't think we can influence that too much

My guess is (and I am just making this up so please be gentle!!) -
Sunday - rehab
Monday - off
Tuesday - video analysis (both Saints match and the HKR ones) and a light session
Wednesday - drills and some contact, fixing anything that needs fixing
Thursday - HKR specific things
Friday - captains run and match

I’ve found the use of Musgrove this season rather baffling, I’m not going to argue with Super Sam’s methods but I bet he’s the most underused prop in SL when in the starting 17.

I saw Vaughan coming off the field after his first stint off the bench and he was fuming shaking his head at Burgess in the box. Obviously took exception to being subbed.

He wasn't that effective in his first stint. If it was Philbin who came on in his place, then I'd say Burgess amide the right call.

We have Liam Moore as ref again on Friday.
