| Wakefield are without Tim Smith, Paul Sykes, Paul Aiton and Ali Lautiti. Bookies offering Wigan -22 which for me is printing money. Really can't see Wakefield scoring anymore than a couple of tries and Wigan in the mood they are in will steamroll them. Expecting to see Tomkins grab 4/5 tries too, 1/3 to score anytime too is not bad!

| Quote DaveO="DaveO"I don't believe you.
Edit for accuracy.
I don't know if you were at Widnes last season but I bet you didn't enjoy the experience at the time if you were. It's all right reflecting on the game afterwards and voicing opinions on a forum about whether it was/or will be good experience or not regardless of the result but I simply don't believe even you watch games reflecting on the wider issues at the time. I am sure you will go to games to watch Wigan hopefully win.
Also the nature of the tournament is certainly not another issue because it directly leads to people calling for players to be rested in league games.'"
Thank you for telling me what i think...

Disrespectful arrogance.

Not at all, after Wakefields performance against Cas last week, I think -22 was actually being kind. Credit to Wakefield this afternoon though, if they put that same effort in all season, they should go well. But they won't, as they only upped their game because it was Wigan.

Nonsense. To say he expects Tomkins to score 5 and Wigan will steamroll them is arrogant.
You're talking as though it is unheard of for a team to play badly one week and then up their game the next.

A look at the table suggests that Wakefield have had several bad games... But every credit for today's effort...

....and you're talking as though that's all it is, one bad result. Wakefield are 11th in the table with a points difference of -95, we are top with a points difference of 421. Here are the results when we've played you since 2010 (all won by us)
44-24
36-6
52-10
26-0
48-6
54-14
48-6
That's an average score of 44-9. Look at those results and tell us again it was arrogant to expect us to steamroll you and for you not score more than a couple. All credit to the lads for almost pulling off a shock but that's definitely what it would have been, because Wakefield to us has been an easy 2 points for quite some time apart from today.

| Think you are in for an easy game or dis-respect your opponents in any way and you are asking for trouble and I've seen it happen so many times and not just in rugby league. Delighted we fought back to get the win today and fair play to Wakefield for getting stuck in and playing as well as they did.

| Winning scruffy will do for me. Good to hear we had a 'plan b' in the final ten minutes to secure the win...!

| We are missing Green for sure. I'd give Williams a run next week. Powell seems to be struggling a bit and a rest might just be what he needs. I wouldnt have minded too much if we lost today because i dont see us going the rest of the season unbeaten and i dont fancy losing to Wire in 3 weeks time.
