Leeds will use/try every trick in the book. Sinfield in particular.

If the forwards play like they did against Hudds, then we will win easily.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwww Betty

We have a thread going for "Team for the Semi" and one for Semi Final Predictions", but how do Wigan Fans think the team should adapt.
All season the discussion has come up about Wigan having no plan B and have been found out in the second half of the season when the tactic of getting the ball to Sam out wide was sussed out.

One of the big dangers I can see on Friday is Rob Burrow, at acting halfback he runs across the line so quick our halfbacks have no chance of getting to him, never mind the forwards.

This is when Wigan have to show a bit of flexibility, remembering the kicking game that Sinfield has.

Wigan have to mix it up a bit when Leeds have the ball confusing them a bit, Sam must appear at halfback when Burrows sets off on one of his runs (at least he has the pace to go with him), with Pat dropping back for the Sinfield kicks.

They have to show some flexibility.

I fully agree i should have put in my post keep our line

Frank would probably knock on less going off Toms spells in the first team so far! Ha.

The Leigh fans are made up with him but he's never quite grasped the chance here.

No doubt Leeds will use their umbrella defence to force us to play down the middle and nullify our Sam-round-the-back play. I'd love for us to put in a grubber or chip in behind their second rower/ for Sam early doors. Could create some hesitancy later on in the match.

Its Playoff Semi Final and you're watching Huddersfield vs Blackpool in the kick ball? Very odd person.

Fail.

100% correct. If the wind up is going to work he has to back off once punched, otherwise he'd get sent off with the bloke who's punched him. That is the whole point of the wind up!

I hoping that none of my Wire friends read this post but here goes..............

Good Luck to you Guys tonight........... Tonight Only Though

A Warrington Vs Wigan Grand Final would be fantastic.

It’s easy to say but no easy to get right, get the forwards to play like they did against Hudds, maintain the intensity and speed at the play of the ball for the full eighty, try to zero on the penalties (main thing that did for Hudds last night) and make Sinfield work his socks off for the whole match, then Bobs your aunties husband.

Nice dry day by the looks of it so I'm expecting few errors and an absolute classic.

Too late ... seen it

As Pie has said, it's one thing knowing how to beat the opposition - it's another matter having the players, intensity, and firepower to do it at playoff time. Both sides on paper have got 1 & 3 ..... we'll see tonight who's got 2 !

Tempted to head over to watch this relax and enjoy seeing who we are going to play.

Should be good, Wigan by 12 or Leeds by 2 I reckon.

1) Avoid Brain Farts and indiscipline which would give Leeds easy upfield yardage.
2) Spot Sinfield and Burrow, cutting down their kicking game.
3) Tackle tough, but legal, and clamp the ball.
4) Give the ball some air when the situation dictates.
5) Vary our kicking game... keep 'em guessing. Uncertainty promotes mistakes.
Simple!
