We all know unfortunately the pie eaters have more whipper snappers than us an in attack. Also they have the robotic formation that is hard to defend. What is the best way Smith can counter act this tonight?

Don't charge down their kicks.

Corpse paint optional.

Line speed, slow their ruck down (Bentham is reffing shouldn't be a problem).
If they commit 3/4 men in the tackle, back up the player look for the offload, play sensible stuff in our own 40.
Don't look for miracle passes, don't offload on the first tackle (Ryan Atkins/Paul Wood, Westwood not playing)

Russell is on the bench in place of Paul wood, ratch to be moved to 13 when he comes on.

JFW - Just F'ing Win

Play hard, play smart and the winning margin can be as little as 1, but win!!

Keep telling Bentham he sent Rhys off last week for lying on for less time than that

Hahaha, this.

Make our team spend the whole afternoon watching 'Warriors Down Under' from Sky last night.

Should seriously bump up their keenness to hurt their opponents.

I think the key to it might be utilising dummy runners, not letting the ball bounce and going for the one pointer.

Whatever it takes.

^This. I've never understood why anyone waffles on about tactics on the internet as if they somehow think Smith is gonna be reading and think, "Oh yeah, that's a good idea!"

Just win. Please!

We need to watch it when Wigan have a scrum in their 20. They play the tactic of holding the ball in the scrum and catch the other team offside. Giving them a relieving penalty, given the opportunity we need to play them at there game!

And if we try to do it, do it in our own half rather than in the opposition 20 as we pointlessly did twice at Castleford!
