Hudds will batter them, plain and simple, if (i very much doubt it though) they did deliberately set themselves up to play Hudds then they are going to find out what a mistake that was.
Although their performances against us are patchy, they can gee themselves up for a derby, which would elavate their performance.

I couldn't care less what Wane or Wigan do. Once again we have proved we are the top club this side of the pennines, I am confident of beating anyone in the play offs and expect us to get to old trafford again. I am more bothered about this weekend as I have been to Perpignan many times yet have never seen us win. Smith talks about building momentum- well prove it and don't get mullered with a weak team.

Positive, check the RFL site (usually on a Tuesday or Wednesday) www.therfl.co.uk/ Under the matchday link you will find Referee Appointments. There you will see not only the referee, the touch judges, etc but also the timekeeper. It was Gerry Kershaw for the Wigan v Hull game. It is only for Super League games though.

Two strong squads for Thursday's game. As strong as they can be, given injuries I think.

So why is playing Huddersfield better for Wigan or Leeds?

Wigan have drawn with Wire at home (should have won) and with a very inexperienced team were leading at Wire with about five minutes to go.
Leeds beat Wire at Headingley and lost to a last minute drop goal at Wire, as with Wigan Leeds had an understrength side.

Wigan lost both games v Huddersfield, and Huddersfield have beaten Leeds three times this season.

Awesome, Tony Thornburytastic.

Widnes have beaten us twice, would love to play them more than any of the top 4 teams. Get my point? Wigan would prefer Hudds than Wire or Leeds. You really don't know much about the great game do you.

Timekeeping.....classic.

on second thought Rogues is right, Wigan don't mind who they play, they haven't beaten any of the top 3 anyway. lolz

Which top three?
Aren't Wigan 3rd.

Can't beat yourself can you? Top 3 teams other than you, you will be 4th after Friday anyway.

Then you're wrong.

Gutted. You still haven't beaten any of them.
