Dickinson and Mason to miss this week for me but wouldn't be surprised to see Mason play this week.

Taai to prop to replace Rapira... was hoping to see Fergie and Roberts back but hopefully well have them next week against Hull. Going to be a tough ask against a full strength Wigan team.

not expecting much from lawrence, we know what hes about, hardworker, tackler... like hinchcliffe just not as good in attack!

Leroy and Mason dont play out of that 19

If Leroy isnt playing we have a very slim chance if winning this game.

huge blow if we dont have cudjoe, would likely see mellor go to centre

lawrence will have put on size but blunt his already slow speed.. still a good player to have on the team though just wont help our attack much.. i like attacking second rowers like taai and ferguson with hinchy at loose.. good to have lawrence as back up if hinchy gets injured

Yep, Cudjoe big blow, brings a lot to the team but we've got a decent squad now and Mellor can do a great job there (think he played there earlier this year didn't he?)

Still confident we can pinch this one - remember in 2012 round 1 when half our squad was out and nicked it that day so no reason why this can't be done now.

Mellor to centre - Lawrence straight into 2nd row for me.

yes mellor played centre before, not very well ! certainly not the calibre of cudjoe

we havent beaten wigan for over 3 years now, due a win...had enough draws this season! used to have a decent record before that against them at their place.

last nights results hasnt helped any cause for our top 4, neither did the st helens one week before... needed cas and leeds to win their games and not let the other gain more points.

need a win tonight!

Would have been nice for Leeds to win but top 4 is still on.

IF we win tonight and Saints/ Salford lose we're only 3 points off 4th spot and at the start of the round we were 4 points (so could gain ground).

IF we win tonight and Saints win, we're 4 points off 4th spot, the same as we were before this round with the majority of teams still to play so all to play for.

Main thing is a win tonight is a must I feel - COYG!

Is Cudjoe defo out?

Ive heard Cudjoe won't play tonight but hope im wrong. Weve proved poor down the edge when Cudjoe is out. Mellor can't quite cut it at Centre.

We will still give it our best shot but I feel we need to win a big AWAY game to kick us on and this has to be the game.

We seem to fall short away from home more often that not in close games.

yeh got our home form back but away form leaves alot to be desired!

That's true about our away form but we've been mightily close...

14-10 at Hull (2 tries each)
28-26 at Warrington (missed goal on the last play)
28-26 at Wakey

6 points there that could have been in the bag

Presume Sam Wood is injured ,not been mentioned since he went off a couple of matches a go

wasnt quite good enough to get the win lastnight, the forwards werent running onto the ball fast enough, too many errors and pens...bentham didnt help as expected

the effort was there still mind but a scrappy affair overall in those conditions.. good defence on show from both sides.

top 4 pipe dream over.
