Come on Wigan.... 6 from 6 would be amazin!!

Wakey and Cas are 6-6 at half-time so I guess it must be a hard game.

Andy Coley said on the Radio that he should be back for Monday. If this is the case, he replaces Paul Prescott for me.

Cameron Phelps looked fit to me warming up so he can slot in at fullback, Roberts to move back on to the wing and Goulding to replace Carmont.

I doubt Riddell will be fit for the Wakefield game, but if he is I would consider resting McIlorum who put in a massive effort today.

I also reckon we might see Liam Farrell get a place on the bench.

Exactly. It sounds harsh, but it's just as tough for Wakefield and every other team in Super League - apart from Harlequins/Crusaders - as it is for us. The Easter period is tough on everyone. Just as I posted on another thread, injuries are no excuse and neither is the turnaround. We should beat Wakefield on Monday.

We have an excellent squad and I hope we use it. Ben Davies and Liam Farrell will be desperate to impress if given a shot, just like Feka Paleaasina was today. Cameron Phelps should be fit and Coley said on the radio that he should be fit for Monday. Riddell can't be that far off if he just failed a fitness test. Shaun Ainscough can also be recalled if needed.

We should beat wakey , but we have to be 100% up for it or they will turn us over ...i remember back at Central Park in '94 (i think) when Henry Paul destroyed us against all the odds and i think there have been times since when they have beaten us...so come on Wigan lets keep the train rolling!..next stop Old Trafford

I don't see why you should have any problems. I was worried last week as I thought they were a banana skin but against a team that has a high defensive mentality they crumble. If you finish all breaks then you should be looking at a 30+ points difference.

I quite a fancy a big performance from us on Monday.

Obviously you can't knock what you've done so far this season and you've looked a fantastic side and rightly sit top of the tree. Easter Monday traditionally throws up crazy results all over the place though.

I remember a few years ago us getting absolutely trounced by Huddersfield at home on Good Friday and then going to Headingley on the Monday and smashing Leeds scoring 44 points in the process!

I think tonight was a lot less intense for us as it was for you at Saints, it was a close first half with a lot of errors and stoppages in play, the second half we totally dominated and Cas hardly got out of their own half. It was probably the least intense Wakey/Cas derby I've ever seen.

Look forward to it...

How many do you think you will bring?

In the past we might of lost this game but I really can't see it this season whouldnt be surprised if we smashed them

Do we know who the ref is?

Should be another good game as the title of the thread states this is a banana skin of a game for us as were expected to win but thats no disrespect to yourselves.

As you say our game V Saints does seem to have been the more intense but i still expect us to win. Under Maguire i cant see us producing another slack performance after the collapse against Bradford we have learnt our lesson.

Also to combat the potential tiredness we should have Phelps and Coley back in atleast, plus i expect Liam Farrell to be given his debut who is a fantastic prospect and has been in top form whilst playing for Widnes. I still maintain that as an attacking force we are miles better with Phelps at fullback compared to Roberts. Not taking anything away from Roberts as he is a phenominal player its just we just seem so much more structured and have so much more options as he can create at a similar level to Sam Tomkins.

I think you'll see a decent Wakey following 1000-1500 I reckon?

Despite our constant ups and downs this season with losing players left, right and centre it's been another good start from us, only one real disaster at home to hudds.
