Come on chaps, lets get this into perspective
Wigan's record at the HJ, is, quite simply, AWFUL.
One victory (highly contentious, too...and we lost our two most influential players to injury during the game), 6 loses and a semi defeat.....they HATE the place.
We've got the best side I've seen in my watching lifetime, and we've still got the doom mongers, "ooohh I can see us losing...I'm not confident....they've got prop back-up in Cross...it might rain"
COBBLERS!!!!! BELIEVE

I've never been as confident in my life, going into a Wigan game. I think we can win this by a comfortable 12 points

As someone said before, the Worriers are workmanlike....yes they are...but so are we (with more steel), and when we throw it to the backs, that's where we've got the advantage on them (our attacking style), and we'll beat them.

Come on you lot, we've got more than enough to beat these lot.

NOW THE WIRE

i think you misunderstand me.

i am saying talent wise we are significantly ahead, not in terms of how the teams are getting on, or who is the better team.

what makes this so mouth watering is the totally different styles and the fact both teams are excelling at their particular style leading up to this game.

It is as close to 'irresistible force meets immovable object' as you will get in rugby league.

also there is more to beating wire than holding out for the first twenty, we are capable of blowing teams away in 10-15 minutes spells at any point in the game, and we have far more composure and patience in the big games than i have ever experienced before.

You didn't hear this from me, it wasn't sold out then Kinsella went and bought 86 tickets in the West for 'Friends & Family'.

It's simple, if it's dry, fifty.

My biggest decision is where to catch the parade, I'm thinking Wilkies.

nothing under 4.5% please, JWP!

1 - Tomkins
2 - Monaghan
3 - Bridge
4 - Carmont
5 - Richards
6 - Finch
7 - Leuluai
8 - Morley
9 - Monaghan
10 - Mossop
11 - Hoffman
12 - Westwood
13 - O'Loughlin

14 - Hock
15 - Carvell
16 - Lima
17 - McIllorum

That team would win the NRL

McIlorum is awful. Both of our reserve hookers are better. Awful, awful player.

I'm not even going to start on that 17... dear god.

This thread lost any credibility when the OP suggested that Leuluai, a world cup, grand final, harry sunderland, 4 nations winning player, wasnt as good as Richie Myler.

ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is that last seat for Barry Mac?
