We did pepper their line but not with any pre-planned moves.
We need dummy runners and players being put through holes.
Why don't we even have a move involving Feka near the line?

Sometimes I find it fustrating that we do not use Feka enough when close to the line.

Not only would he have a chance of actually getting over the whitewash, he also attracts more than a couple of defenders which then spreads the defence and creates space away from the ruck. Players such as Harrison Hansen and Joel Tomkins thrive off hitting gaps through scrambled defences.

Been saying this for years. Do not understand the mentality of a coach who has a living battering-ram in his pack, but never uses him that way when close to the line. Surely it'd be worth giving him one drive for every set of six we have (and usually waste) in the green zone?

Paul Anderson used to do it quite a bit and was succesful. Hansen is great at going through gaps, he scored a brilliant try in the comeback at the bulls in 07.

Don't get drawn into a forward battle, Warrington like to do that and thats when Wigan have been sucked into poor rugby in the past. Just attack like we did against Leeds (2nd half) and defend like we did at Saints.

you can't just attack like that, if your forwards aren't winning the battle there is no momentum in your attack from the start

yea but if your forwards are getting steam rolled to say, then you have no field position even with good kicks, as seen many times even the best of half-backs can't play behind a beaten attack

It's not like it'd even be that difficult to come up with a couple of little set moves close to the opposition line that would involve Feka.

It's baffling as to why we don't have something in place.

i think a lot of your over confidence and disrespect could be your undoing both teams in very good form whom both command respect on the pitch a game which is far too close to call it's whoever keeps their nerves on the day will win if you are so confident go and stick 200 quid on it

I can't believe what I am reading.

No one is over confident, hence the nerves thread.

Wire fans were saying months ago its in the bag

Even if some have been overconfident its just hypocritical.

spot on kidda deep down everyone on here is as unsure as the next person personally i think some are more worried of the bragging rights. i would be happy with a trip to wembley win or lose down there been a long time coming. yes it probably is more important to us thats what makes it more special when you have waited longer
