Let's hope we still have 13 players on the pitch and not 13 with ligament damage

Ok I may have worded it wrong, what I should of said is it was not a game that would win a grand final

Ratchford as to stay at FB for me.

Of course in a few weeks time none of this will matter anymore. People's memory of the season will be that Wire and Cas played the best, most entertaining rugby whilst Leeds and Wigan(???) took the prizes.

......true.....

We just need to make sure we don't let ourselves get bullied out of the game. Play it our way for the full 80, kicking like we did against Cas, not getting sucked into Wigan's cheap shot, niggle-ridden style, we've got to dictate the pace and keep them frustrated. Now the Wire!

I think that this whole 'big nasty Wigan' thing is being completely exaggerated to be honest.

Perhaps
But slowing the ptb is a big part of their game.
It needs addressing somehow

It was definitely part of our game on Thursday too.

East stand for the winners of our game.

Not familiar....is that Stretford end or the other?

Correct. Can you imagine the uproar if Macgraff Leuluai's tackle on Matty Russell was done by, say O'Loughlin? Wigan and Wane acknowledge that they are an aggressive team and play right to the boundaries of the rules, sometimes admittedly we cross them. It is a big part of Wigan's play, and matching this aggression goes a long way to beating Wigan.

It'll be a great game on Friday, with it being potentially M Monaghan's last game I feel he will have a cracker (which spells bad news for Wigan!).

So, you don't think he'll be picked for the final then?
