They will have spent half the off season trying different combinations. If our pack can get us near their lin Monas can open them up.

Grix at 6 for me - leave Monas at 9 where he will do most damage.

I expect a bounce back next week.
The game last night could have ended up with any result with 5 minutes to go.
In the past that defeat would have taken us weeks to get over but the difference now is Smith.
We now have a coach who will analyse that game and take the positives, learn from the mistakes and build confidence in the squad.
'What does not kill us makes us stronger'.
Looking forward to next week already.Who else is going?
Keep the faith people

I agree Mona's should defo stay at 9 I like Grix he's got the talent just not had a run of games in recent seasons.

When Briers left we lost all co-ordination and organisation in attack. We stopped creating chances, so this will be a real test for Myler to prove his worth.

No Briers no win!

Looking forward to this one!
Always a good game and good atmosphere against you lot

Agree taht Grix should come in at 6 and leave Monas at 9. Hope last night never knocked too much out of the players in terms of what St Helens defeats have done in the past. Will be interesting to see what happens when Hicks & Clarke are declared fit to play again.

wire by 6

I'd hate for Wigan to be going to Huddersfield a week after last night game tbh.

They're just so tough to play against because they do the basics and wrestle for their lives. It's the sort of game you want to be going into on the back of an easy game so your as fresh as you can be.

In saying that it's not a game you can't win. If it were us i'd want us to play the game wide and try and run them off their feet. Don't play it around the middle.

I cant believe people are doubting us, If you want to get to old trafford you have to have faith,luck and hard work.....GET YA ARSES TO HUDS AND SUPPORT THE LADS

totally agree , one bad result dosent mean were going to get beat next week , briers not playin is a disadvantage but we went to places before with out briers and gone away with the 2 points , theres other players on the pitch that can win us games , we cant rely on briers all the time

best post tonight, we should be getting behind the lads, i will be hoping we will be taking a good following down to the galpharm next week and hope we make one hell of an atmosphere. come on...

you have no confidence in smith and the team do you?

Tough game this one and we may be carrying a few injuries, It will be a test of their character to play without Briers although i expect Wire to come up trumps on Sunday.

I every confidence in Smith, he's the best thing to happen to this club in the last 30 years, but without our key playmaker i'm not sure we will have the keys to unlock the Huddersfield defence, especially after what the Giants did today at HKR. Huddersfield will start the game as favorites and rightly so, i just think they will have abit to much for us next week, but i could be wrong and hopefully i'am.
