| Quote: Sheepridge Giant "Looks like more of the same in terms of team selection, unless he decides to swap positions of a couple of players.
Mikey Wood or Dickinson might possibly replace either Clough or Smith from the interchange.
Yeah watching Leythers frustrate Wire,put last weeks hiding into some context.Wasn't there but a concerning aspect to come out of the stats were how Sebastine & Ukuma's metres per carry were well down on previous rounds.Plus Ley stopped our offloading.Though on the plus side they reckon Wakeman had his best game.
Don't fancy our chances in this one to be right honest. Just hope we witness some improvement in execution on attack,plus stiffen up the defence down the middle/first contact.'"
it wasnt a pounding last week, the scoreline may have suggested that but the giants dominated possession, territory and chances..didnt take advantage. ikahihifo was great again and he was sin binned, may have taken his stats down a shade

| Feels odd to be going to a Sunday game- especially at Wigan- a long time since that last happened! I'm not expecting a win but I'm hoping for a decent performance- especially from brough who has quite frankly been pants so far this season.

| Im expecting us to concede in the region of 30-40 points any less and I will be happy. However, Im hoping we will at least score 10-16 points. Again, any more will be a bonus. If we get nilled again I feel Stone may end up resigning before his marquee signing has even played a game for the Giants.

That's a realistic view, there has been nothing in what we have seen this season yet to suggest otherwise. We can hope of course and sometimes when you least expect a top performance is just when you get one, We did it a couple of times last season, but being honest Wigan and Cas look different class to most sides, Not expecting much but will be happy to be surprised.

| Great effort, played as a real team today, showed togetherness and got some reward.
Loved the selection changes with Gaskell move and McIntosh coming in. Not the only contributor, but shows how much Brierley has been stifling the play this season so far.
Still a slight concern over decision making in attack, but fantastic effort...let's carry this monemtum into next week against Leeds (and let's hope Danny is still with us then too!)

| well thats more like it, some positives to take from today..still lots not to be so happy about either mind
we would have taken a point at the start of today lets be honest but wigan were there for the taking today and once again we failed to take our chance, out game management is diabolical and has been for years, we cant close games out of make right plays/decisions, thought bringing in hinchcliffe would have helped but hes the same as the rest. no wonder we havent made a grand final or won the cup, we cant deal with the pressure, especially danny brough.
brough missed a kick straight infront of the posts first half then missed a drop goal at the end
on the positive side.. that point could well come in handy at the back end of the season.
mcintosh was solid under some stern pressure from wigna with bombs etc and handled it perfectly
gaskell at half back is def the way to go, credit to stone for changing the team , wasnt working with brierley
look forward to next friday, welcome back ferguson which should help our attack again

Hinchliffe is becoming a bit of a liability for me he panics more than anyone on the field at times. He costs us a try per game. He wouldnt be in my starting 17 if all players were fit. Quite frankly id love him to go home a year early and us use the quota spot for either a winger or a prop.
Very frustrating to win the game and missing the penalty to go 8-0 to then concede and knock on in our next set sums us up a club really. We are a very frustrating team to watch because we are our own worst enemy.

yep, should have been 8-0 and end up 6-6
remember wakey 12-0 up?
we just cant manage a game, we had the ball in the 2nd half with 8 mins to go and throw an offload and lose the ball?!!?
brough kicks early in the tackle and its a garbage one and wigan get the pen and leeming sent to the bin
really frustrating but its been going on for years, why we have lost all these semi finals and finals , we cant cope with pressure, maybe its brough , he didnt deal with it today again

I love Brough and appreciate everything he has done for the club but I would like this year to be his last and start to plan for life without him.
Who knows Jamie Ellis if stays lean and fit and Lee Gaskell maybe a good partnership ? That would also free up alot of cap space from Brough as he will be on more than Ellis to get either another prop, winger or centre.
