Time for me to move on from the WCC

I've not checked Wigan's fixtures and it will be interesting to see their reaction to Saturday, outcome of injuries etc. They have a strong squad so should be ok.

Good Friday could well see both teams with maximum points so far. This could be one of the best most anticipated Saints v Wigan games for a long time. It's nailed on it will be a complete sell out too.

We were superb on Saturday, much better than I expected and the new signings have fitted in seamlessly less so Blake who you can tell has had no pre-season.

We have Leigh and Salford both at home coming up and then Leeds A (who knows what Leeds team we will face) but we could easily be 5 from 5 wins. If Wigan do likewise (well 4 from 4) then we are in for one hell of a battle!

Biggest game of the regular season. There’s some stat that Bilko normally posts that the winner of the GF fixture normally goes on to win the GF (if Leeds don’t win it).

Huddersfield and London on deck for Wigan.

Who is the 3rd game? There's 3 weekends and then the CC before Good Friday

Salford away.

And we’ll probably get Warrington or Leeds in the cup as usual

Huddersfield H, London A, Salford A, Challenge cup and then Saints is our run. None of it will be easy given the come down of winning that game on Saturday but we'll see how we go. Friday in particular could be tricky with the potential for 7 or 8 forwards to be ruled out through injury. Ultimately though that win on Saturday was worth losing players for and if we have an iffy run then so be it. I do think we'll be ok because of the depth and I think the mentality is good.

i think most fans would be happy with 3 from 4 leading into Saints away (if i include winning the cc tie)

This week if we can start with Dupree, Thompson, Mago and Hill in the front row with O'Neill and Forber running 9, then we still look pretty strong if we can start with Farrell, Isa and Ellis in the back row

Then its how the injured players recover to give the above time off to refresh and push for a tilt at retaining the championship

Peet didn't know in the press conference if Byrne had passed his HIA or not so maybe he could be ok. Ellis had a knock as well, so we'll see how we go. If both are ruled out then it'll be a good chance for Chan and maybe Makin (if he's still available before he goes to Barrow). Hopefully Thompson doesn't need more than the weeks rest and we'll be looking ok. We could do with things getting no worse though.

Good Friday looks like being very tricky for Wigan with most players out until April and May - we'll get injury news on Cooper and Leeming this week but I'd be very surprised if they were available for the Saints game. Getting points against lesser teams in the meantime should be very doable though and provides a good opportunity for Chan, Hill, Forber, Makin etc.

If we had a good run between now and then we should still be able to get out Thompson, Byrne, Ellis, Dupree, Mago and Hill in the middle and Nsemba will hopefully be back to help out Faz and Isa. The depth is crazy to be fair. If pretty much any other side had 8/9 forwards ruled out, as we may have out on Friday (Havard, Eseh, Nsemba, Walters, Leeming, Cooper, Ellis, Thompson and Byrne) I don't think they'd think they had a chance of competing against most other sides.

Can we not include Saints in the lesser team category as they have Jack Sh*t in their cabinet,Leigh have more

Can’t see a Wigan win Good Friday as it will take a while to get up to speed again as always seems to be the case for teams after a WCC win. If we would have lost it’s a different story.
In terms of injuries we know Walters & Havard are defo out of that fixture but not heard about anyone else so could still be quite strong.

It's pointless trying to work out if we will win on Good Friday when the game is over a month away. Especially when you take into consideration:

Players coming back from injury, future injuries, future bans, form going into the game. That's just us. Same goes for Saints, lots can happen in four weeks. (A fortnight ago we only had Havard and Junior on the injury list).

That said, if we can grab a win against Huddersfield at home at the weekend then that goes a long way to getting back on the SL track, assuming no further losses to players.

Home section officially sold out. Given that Wigan will sell their allocation this is another sell out.

Let's hope that both sides have the star names available and no injuries/bans preventing us watching the best. Should be a cracker.
