A couple of weeks ago I'd have been more worried, but bar a ten minute lapse we really dominated Hull FC, and we looked better again against Leeds, and could have put 50 past them if Williams had played or a few passes had stuck. We have won our last 25 SL games at the DW, and since you returned to SL our record against you at the DW is:

Won 20-10
Won 48-04
Won 48-04 (again)
Won 62-04
Won 54-12

I know the 'done thing' is to say it'll be a tough one with no more than a score in it so I don't look daft if we lose but i think the above is fair reason for me to be confident. I reckon we look more likely to step up that extra gear and blow you away, or at worst grind out the win, than for you to finally end our SL home run. Obviously the players won't be as relaxed as me and will be treating this as one they will need to play at their best to win. FWIW if this was an away game I'd be predicting a win by no more than 6.

Good to see you joined this forum to post that rubbish.

Apart from the odd one, most Wigan fans have praised Widnes last night and their fantastic start to the season.

I for one hope you keep it up.

Good on you Grimmy, must make it a little harder when the better of the 2 scrum halfs came from your academy. Joe Mellor has been outstanding this season. Teams still think everything we do is through Brown so he has the freedom Kev doesn't.

Widnes were good for the win and that's that. Wigan's 5 from 5 was papering over the cracks a bit for me. We could easily have lost against Huddersfield, Salford and Hull and the opening game of the season in the mud against Catalan could have gone either way. We won those games and the lads deserve credit for playing the full 80 minutes.
We are very limited in attack and Smith offers nothing. One good game a season is not acceptable and I can't believe we can't attract a better scrum half to the club. Powell has been thrust in full time because of MM's injury but again, just isn't up to the task. Logan was a better option at 9 although he has his faults.
We have a lot of quality on the sidelines in ST, JT, MM and Williams but we desperately need to get better in possession.

From an outsiders point of view last year when you were in dire need of a centre I think Wigan missed a big trick not going for Runciman, very astute signing for me

I quite fancied us, Widnes, to turn you over last night as I have been disappointed with your attacking play, when you get within 30m of the line from what I have seen so far, and last night followed suit.

You scored two tries from our mistakes, which were well taken tries, but other than that for all the pressure and possession you had you just weren't clinical enough again.

You definitely aren't the same side without Williams and I think Joel Tomkins is your biggest threat when the ball goes wide.

We're living the dream at the moment so will cherish a long awaited victory like last nights, but can still see it being yourselves and Wire in the Final.

Good luck for the rest of the season, apart from the return fixture obviously.
