Not too different though as they only had Sam T, Sean O'L, Harrison H & Luaki missing, although Luaki did show us his pace over 3 yards whilst attempting to warm up during half time. |

I was referring to the quality that these missing players will bring to the Wigan side that will make it a different proposition, not the amount returning. |

Don't kid yourself, most of the first team players were brought off by Wane after 20-30 minutes. The only 4 players out of the first 17 on the field after that were Prescott, Charnley, L Tomkins and Dudson. It will be a very different team in a few weeks. Don't get me wrong, wire will still be favourites but least Wigan might be able to get out of their half!  |

I've got to agree Bobby, their returning players will make a big impact and a bigger crowd should get the intensity levels up (will also suit us).
However, I think that we will still have enough and with Tony Smith 'returning' as coach to replace Phil Veivers I'm hoping for two points. |

I agree with that any team that includes Sam T & Sean O'L will be better for it but I'm unsure of the quality outside 6 or 7 players in their squad. |

I know its hard to believe and I hate to be the one who has to break the news to you but Matty Smith and Blake Green are your first choice half-backs this year. |

Totally irrelevant to the point I was making. But on that topic, yes they are and it is a big step down from Finch and Leuluai. However, one area of our play which I can see improving from the new half back partnership is the kicking game, which has been woeful the last few years. |

Apart from Smith playing nigh-on all the first half and Green playing well into the second half. |

Kicking game improving  Every kick your 'half back pairing' put in went straight down our players throat.... IMO your kicking was shocking on Saturday |

Yep due to kicking from our own 40 after every set. Just my opinion the kicking game will improve, that's all.

A harder question and more to the point, “what’s he got in it?” it looks like the same old same old! |

Didn't one of Matty Smith's first kicks for you land right in Ratchford's arms, leaving him open to run 80 yards and score?
