Firstly we need to play well next week to get a result from Salford.

Then onto Wigan, first put of the hat we are at home for once. It's got the makings of a belter and as the cup is you have to beat the opposition to progress. A big opportunity for the club to make the semis a good vocal home crowd could make a big difference on the day. Bring on the next 3 games all at home.

Bathy won't like that, 3 games in a row on his life's work.

If Hicks or Kendall are in the officials line up, I'd be be worried because they will be there for a reason, and they will manipulate the game to get Wigan in the next round. I'll be shouting for ya anyway.

Why would they do that ?

Whose Bathy?

The guy who looks after the pitch.

Not too bothered about Hicks tbh, but I wouldn't be happy with Kendal or Smith, haven't heard a lot about Thaler lately, wonder if he's got on the wrong side of Ganson again.

Anyone will do, just as long as they can actually see.
The "sponsored by Specsavers" may have been tongue in cheek to start with but, after yesterday, the officials really do need their eyes testing.

It was scandalous

Might not surprise you really to know Kendal awarded 26(twenty six) pens against Leigh at the weekend, that's an average of 1 every 3 minutes, we'll get who we get and get on with it, but if Ganson rings me up and asks my preference it won't be Smith or Kendal

Quite often really, although due to the nature of his job it's understandable that he's reluctant to go into details, we have a bit in common politically as we're both staunch conservatives especially living in the area's that we do

Likes been said previously and the big man himself , let’s go out and get Salfords scalp at home and keep that winning momentum/mentality rolling .Having watched a dire Wigan and Salford game on Fri where Salford’s unforced errors handed the game on a plate to Wigan and went out of the Cup with little resistance. I’m sure poaching won’t get too carried away by that lacklustre performance by both teams to be honest , and will have the players on high alert for the upcoming game ..IMO I feel we are too strong for Salford all over the field even having sneed and Croft in the half’s I feel Miller and Lino have the measure of them ,also sio and Burgess should hopefully be marshalled well by our wingers , play as we are doing and I see nothing other than a win.Then we can roll our sleeves up and turn our attentions to Wigan .

We don't get on TV very often, but when we do they always seem to make life as difficult as possible for us.
In the knowledge that we are on the televised game on Thursday, we have been selected for the Sunday afternoon BBC match. This means we have two consecutive 4 day turnarounds over Easter playing Wigan, Cas then Wigan again. This is really going to test the depth of our squad.

Ideal for players busting a gut to get in the team like Adebiyi, Aydin, Croft, Walker, Bowes etc. I’m confident that we have the depth and Poching seems willing to trust.
