| Watching the Wire offload is going to be very important as well. They've got several players who are very effective at this and it gives them a 2nd phase/broken field opportunity. Get 2 or 3 in to each tackle and keep the ball wrapped up!

| Monaghan is class but then they've got class all over the park so we'll need to be on top form. I think the threat from most sides come from their 1, 6, 7 and 9 and we did a great job on the Huddersfield lot of Grix, Brown, Brough and Robinson(when he came on) but Friday night is a step up again in quality facing Hodgson, Briers, Myler and Monaghan so we need to keep that defence strong.
It's going to be a great test for us but it also is going to be a test for them and it makes for a brilliant contest. I think whichever side can control the ball better and keep their discipline will come out on top so we have to watch our step.
Roll on Friday.

| They will be as worried about us as we are about them. We need to concentrate on our own game and less on what wire may or try to do.

Thoughts are that im glad Feka doesnt play for Wigan anymore!
Good point though - Monaghan has been a super signing for Warrington and stoping Monaghan will go a long way to winning the game for Wigan.

I think Warrington will similarly target Finch, assuming he plays of course, particularly with it being his first game.

He was so good on Sunday it was grossly unfair to Quins to let him come back out for the second half. He did only play about 60 minutes in total though.

| one good thing about sam tomkins is we will not have to tackle him much as most of time he ends up on floor before defence reaches him also milking penalties as he does will not will not endear him to many rl fans (unless of course your wigan fans)

| Monas is a smart player, if any of your guys are not square it's an almost guaranteed penalty because he just runs straight in to them.
He's a smart player, if he sees that your line isn't set properly he'll go for it.
He'll always be looking for 40-20's so Sam will have to be sharp to that.
His offloading is great, he's an absolute tackling machine and i read in this thread that you should look to smash him to put him off, trust me this guy has the heart of a lion, I've seen people target Monas and hit him hard, trust me unless he's taken off permanently you won't put him off his game.
What you have to realise though is Wire have a few great ball handling thinking players.
Monas, Briers, Myler, Solomona(yes really) Hodgson, Bridge and to a lesser extent Grix.
We have great offloading players, Solo, Wood, Westwood, Harrison, Monas, Bridge and you have to be weary of Myler sniffing around looking for it.
Looking forward to seeing our guys testing your defense though, I'm like a kid I'm so excited.

If I could pick any player in SL to join Wigan, it'd be Monaghan. Quality player.

Another semi-literate berk takes it on himself to speak for the rest of the sport.

He actually refers to "many rl fans" but I suppose if you were a semi-literate berk you could take this to mean the rest of the sport!

Okay, let's be accurate.
Another semi-literate berk who takes it on himself to speak for lots of other rugby league fans.
I suppose that makes him marginally less of a prat.
