I saw enough from Briers tonight to know we'll have to be on our game defensively. He was outstanding. That was a good win for Warrington. Ok very scrappy but it is rarely anything but at Wheldon Road. Can't remember too many easy Wigan wins there over the years. In fact I'm struggling to remember one. We will have to find an improved kicking game I think.

Next week though I think the pressure is all on Warrington. Our record at that ground in a way takes the pressure off us and on to them. Should be a cracker and I hope the two players are not banned so theirs no excuses.

next week really is your cup final isnt it

Me neither.... bring on the Wire. Its early doors in the season but i don't see the Grand final winners being Warrington.. Defence is still an issue and apart from myler being on the end of a few things, I can't see atkins/bridge and the anderson brothers having the quality or desire to reach the GF.

After the pre-season games and the two home matches... I don't want to get carried away but I have seen game by game improvement, a desire in defence that I haven't seen for at least a decade and a coach who wants improvement, improvement, improvement!!! and will consult anyone (even martinez!) to ensure that its not just his players that are improving and getting better, but he and his coaching staff are aswell...

In Madge we Trust...

We'd have put 30 on both of those teams tonight.

I've renamed this thread because I can see where it's going.. Now enjoy petty arguing all week without spoiling the other threads. I'm already bored after ten minutes.

Only 2 more points then us then?

Only abit of banter Bilko

Briers was class tonight

if we can stop him i'm confident. if he runs the show then its going to hard

Carvell will get a telling off but nothing more which i think is right. Mr Morley though will be getting a little rest for at least a week which i again think is right.
Morley was committed and if he'd just run into him would have been fine but the high shot to the head was cheap.

Castleford are playing well and beat the current champions on their own patch so some of the Wigan comments about us are a little naive.
Cas out played us for most of the match, it was a very poor match equaled by poor refereeing but Wire have improved fitness levels which showed near the end when we actually looked strong in the last 15 minutes.

Briers was immense and Mylers support play is brilliant plus they are starting to gel.

If i were to compare Hull KR to Cas from what i've seen i'd say Cas are the stronger side.

Look forward to next week guys game on.
