If Broughy is injured as said then he will need or will have had surgery for that problem surely?
Then he will miss the game. Thought Hudds looked very poor v Saints and if Walmsley hadn't been sent off they'd have put 30+ past the Giants.

If Wigan can reproduce that last 40 mins v Warrington for 60 mins or more then I will feel confident against any team.
They played well v Leeds and improved in the first 40 v Wire but it was nowhere near enough.
The second half Wigan were outstanding. Reproduce that and we'll be a match for anyone!

like leeds usually do against us?

really? on the basis that game was scoreless for 20 minutes and saints scored on their first attack on the back of the first penalty of the game?
like i said we had 3 of our main men missing, we lost our only recognised half back after 30 minutes and played 60 minutes with a 19 yr old rookie and a back rower making up the halves, i thought it was an outstanding effort from BOTH teams on friday, there was nothing in the game from minute 1-80.

I would back us if Brough was out but if he plays its very tough to call, a 50/50 game and I'd be going in more hopeful than confident.

Ukama Ta'ai looked awesome on Friday btw - happy with Tautai but would have loved the brief rumour about him coming to Wigan to have turned into something.

the two league defeats to them this year count for nothing and neither do they mean they have the upper hand; this is a clean slate game now and I don't see us losing whether brough plays or not.

if Wigan are the best side in the top 4, why didnt they finish top?

Kind Regards

knock out rugby at this stage. When did Huddersfield win a knock out anything? Wigan by a lot .

Now that is a silly question, obviously Saints are the best, because they finished top. Ask anyone.

Why didn't Huddersfield win the Grand Final (or even a game against other top 4 opposition) last year?

To answer your question- because ultimately the players didn't care enough. Go back to a first past the post system or put more emphasis on finishing in the top places and Wigan, Leeds and Wire would finish 1st, 2nd and 3rd in some order.

Pretty sad you have to go back three years to get a win. Ignoring the knock out cup game too...
I'm just thankful the fans I meet at games show less arrogance than a massive majority on here.

lol at simplistic logic.

Why do the bookies have wigan as favourite? if they couldn't finish top?

answer, the bookies can read between the lines of regular season and what will happen in the playoffs.

If Saints had kept 13 on the field v Hudds they'd have put 30+ past the Giants.
They were 10-0 up and in total control when Walmsley departed.
If we can replicate the second half v Wire for an hour v Hudds then we'll win.
Whether we can do that I don't know and that's why I'm going to the game.

Correct " Father Ted " and that's why I have had to book leave from work and also will be going to the game.
Our last two games we have produced some form just at the right time

Remember people saying that last year
