| Time for our pack to stand up and be counted as a collective unit.
They have been very impressive in the 2 games this season but this is our first big test.
there have been good individual performances over the last couple of years, but IMO very rarely as a unit.
IMO if Fielden and Coley can match Morley and Carvell in the opening exchanges then I think we will have enough to win the game
I think that our bench will be slightly stronger and have a bigger impact (feka, prescot, mossop and deacon)
Cant wait for the game

| What you seriously think your forwards can match;
Morley
Carvell
Harrison
L Anderson
Westwood
Wood
and possibly Solomona.
Even with your cherry and white tinted specs on you can surely see that your forwards are far inferior. Your pack is going to have to play out of its skin just to even match the warrington pack.

I agree, we have no chance of doing the same amount of high or dangerous tackles, using the face as a rest to stand up on or general dirty play that your pack will achieve.

| This is why I think we'll lose. Our second rowers are about even with theirs but our props are way outclassed. Having said that we're less likely to play up the middle like we did with Noble. If we can shift it wide we'll cause them some problems, especially if we can get Mossop and Joel Tomkins trampling over Briers and Myler.

| yes I think they can more than match them and I think we will have the greater impact off the bench
The whole idea of my post was to say that it is time for the pack as a collective to stand up and be counted. which means getting the better of Morley and Carvell in the front row.
Our back row is more than a match and IMO is far better than yours (tinted glasses or not)
looking forward to what is hopefully going to be a fantastic game between the 2 sides (hope its not one of those games that gets hyped up to fall flat on it )

On paper your pack wins hands down.
Shame it's played on grass.

I see only two forwards in that line-up who I feel are superior to their opposite numbers at Wigan. The rest are so-so.
But we at Wigan have now learned that talk is cheap. It's what you do on the field that counts. So let's wait and see.

| Wires front row is better
Our backrow is better
Our bench is better
I'd say because of that Wire front row it's pretty even between the 2 packs though. The game is won and lost in that front row and our 4 will have to work hard as a unit to match theres.

| Fielden has to step up in this game and not be dominated by Morley.
If he can set the platform in the forwards, we have a chance.

39110_1363272058.jpg Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

| Warringtons starting front row in Morley and Carvell is miles better than ours but our backrow is one of the best in the league and has been on top form so far. We have far more power on the bench as well!
Warrington clearly have 2 secret weapons but our pack is more of a unit and has worked together really well.

You forgot Monaghan btw. And yes our pack can and will compete with yours. Just wait until 8pm on Saturday and you'll see just how well our forwards will have competed.

Don't you struggle. Don't you fight. Don't you worry, cause it's your turn tonight!

| If are pack can at least match the wire frontrow, it'll go along way to winning us the game. Are backrowers are at the moment far superior to those that wire have to offer, and should compensate for what were missing upfront.
With are much increased fitness levels, a good way of beating wire would be to simply play the game at a faster pace than they can, by constantly making Morley and Carvell work hard around the ruck and scrambling back, we may be able to take a little sting out of their tails.
I sure are messiah (McGuire) will have a plan on how to handle Morley and Carvell.

| If our pack plays as well it has done this season we've more than enough to beat the Wire pack. Wigan win by two scores.
