Got to disagree with you on this, realistically Cas and Hull are almost certain to finish in the top four at the end of the play offs. If Leeds or Salford (the most likely imho) were to blow up then any one of the chasers Stains, Wakey, Huddersfield or ourselves could sneak in fourth. These teams are the biggest threat and the ones that we need to lose as many points as possible.
Having said all of that though Wigan need a dramatic improvement in form, if we can go into the split on 23 points, then put a good run together i.e beat all of the chasers plus a couple of the top four then its do able. Massive ask but possible !!!

I've read lots of your posts.....you are a massive pessimist!

It will be difficult but it can be done but we will have to improve greatly on our mistakes and penalties.

Willie Isa and McIlorum are the biggest culprits.

WRT Cas getting to rest players over the last 4 more 5 games, could be a good thing for them if they get the balance right but they'll have to be careful they don't over-do it. You want to take momentum into the playoffs, mix and matching your lineup for several games wouldn't help that.

Farrell out for three weeks according to the Wigan Post. If it's three weeks from the Catalans game then he may make the semi but it looks touch and go.

It could be far worse though in truth. The way he twisted I had visions of a really serious injury.
