Wigan won’t go into a match with Wakefield with any complacency which won’t be good for us!

They know there could be a reaction from the Wakefield players in one of the next few fixtures, they’ll be wary of giving us any kind of confidence early in the game and will look to crush us in the first 20 minutes. They also have a couple of losses to us from around 3 years ago from which they still have a lot of players in the team who’d love nothing more than putting a big score on us.

Unfortunately I can see this being over by the half hour mark
Wigan 46 - 10

Is this your FT prediction or, after half an hour

It would be a big help if we take any early chances that come our way. Against Shudds I think it was Tupou and Kay who missed out early doors. Similar against Hull. Actually get an early lead. When did that last happen?

Salford away I think. Back in March.

And Salford scored first in that game!

I thought we did.

We will not score against Wigan no matter what halves combination is drawn out of the bag this week - that will be their main focus, nilling us, regardless of what they do in attack...I just hope it's not more than the 58 Catalans posted against us

You know what reedy my liccle lad, I think it would change person to person for what is deemed as acceptable. I'd personally be satisfied with a change in attitude, I want to see a revised Trinity out there who want to put on a show. The 2pts aren't likely but providing we're putting up some sort of fight for 80 minutes rather than trying to dominate a side with 12 minutes to play, I'll be happy with it.

You never know, we might be second bottom come next week depending on what the Robins do against Leeds. A 23+ loss puts them bottom (at least for a couple of days)

Be interesting to see the 17 this week considering the comments on certain players returning to action.

Memories play tricks. They said that about all those teams in the past and I think if your honest we’ve had far more clueless and gutless teams than this one. It’s just that this team is in focus because it’s the current one.

I could if I was bothered go back and find numerous a Trinity teams that have been far worse with far worse results. Plenty of 60 and even 70 point thrashings. Where as this team has lacked composure it’s still played some good RL through parts of most games. I’ve seen Trinity teams that quite literally couldn’t put a pass together. Jowitts first try against Hull would have been the try of the season had they been able to actually score it,

It’s hard to keep some perspective when everything seems to be going wrong but in my opinion this team has more spirit and talent than most of our previous duffer squads.

Almost nail on head.
I agree that our current squad does have more talent than so many others over the past 25/30 years and that is what makes this season (and the majority of last season) so damn disappointing.
Harbin or Kear would have killed to have these players at their disposal but, for whatever reason, the team is somewhat less than the (theoretical) sum of the parts.
In any half decent side, the opposite is true.
Taking account of their individual ability, how many players this season, would you say are currently hitting 7/10 or better individually, for the full 80 minutes.
When you try and go through the side and apply this measure, it's certainly less than the fingers of one hand.

We desperately need a midfield general or something close.
