I Think you will win this quite comfortably you have more to play for.i can see us sending half a team then going full strength at home against hull next Friday in preparation for the semi

Wane has said he's a bigger loss for us and he may well be right. He's been unbelievable these past two weeks.

Would it not be the other way round? Go full strength against us to ensure a big name doesn't make the play offs, then rest the big names the week after with the semi coming up?

You are mixing up the pie kitchen with the blood bin.

I see your point but I'd rather not go into the semi under done like has happened to many teams that have had a week off before a big game in the past.

Inclined to agree. It never seems to help, wrapping your players in cotton wool the week before a biggie.

Ben Roberts is also struggling apparently and you'd be surprised if they risk anyone.

It'll be tough on Sunday. Cas look outstanding regardless of personnel and you get the feeling they aren't Wigan's biggest fans.

Anything less then our Saints performance (and intensity) won't be enough imo.

No Gale and possibly no Ben Roberts by the looks. We may put 2 youngsters in the halves along with rest a couple more is what I am being told. May sound weird but I kind of hope you do beat us. I would rather play Hull in the semis than you guys so would be happy for you to make 3rd instead of 4th.

Fine by us, Deal???

No Junior Moors too. Possibly 3 of our main players.

Ye very weird. A Can't spake.

This is like a final for us now after Saints big win last night. Any chance we had of going through on points difference are pretty much out of the window (Saints are currently 46 points better off and likely to thump Salford next week) so only 2 wins will do it.

Moors is a bigger miss than Gale and I fancy our chances. Just a shame Lockers is missing.

It's must win but that's enjoyable in truth. I walked away from Headingley a few weeks ago saying we may as well play some kids for the rest of the year and rest players before the World Cup, so to be in this position is fantastic.

We'll have a chance of the top four right to the last game of the season and I certainly didn't see that being the case a few weeks back.

We have a much better pd than Hull. If they lose to Cas we can afford to as well, as long as we beat Wakey, then both us and Saints get through.
