Quote: Wigg'n "Hull KR didn't have just one eye on next week, they had both eyes on it. Resting Campese and taking Blair off early on was proof of that.
We need to start every game with that much intensity though, regardless of who we are playing. We used to do it a couple of years ago, just blitz teams in the opening 15 and they haven't got a clue what to do then.'"
I never felt that wrapping yourselves in cotton wool was ever a sensible preparation for a big game. During the Graham Lowe and John Monie era at Wigan, the policy was to take one match at a time - treat each one as an essential game in its own right, and go all out to win it - and never think about the week after next.
Rovers may well feel the next match is the 'real' one, but a 60-0 defeat can be a difficult thing to get out of your system inside a couple of weeks.
The main danger, as I see it, is Wigan being complacent. But hopefully, if they're now hitting their straps, and a good solid win against Cas would be just what the doctor ordered in that regard, they too will approach the Cup game with very professional and serious intent.
