Who does Joel think he is barging his way behind the bar? Wouldn’t be surprised if Joel follows Sam and ends up in France.

Wigan will do better without him in their side, he offers nothing apart from a couple of penalities to the opposition!

its not the first time I've heard Wigan paying hush money out

Don’t think Joel is half the player he could have been. I also think it benefits Wigan. Although not sure how much he plays these days.

Makes you wonder if the hardaker signing along with the Tomkins palaver hasn’t been behind Wayne wanting away from Wigan

There’s always something that’s dodgy that rears it’s ugly head at Wigan now and then, they are not as squeaky clean as them and the grovelling pundits make them out to be, makes the well known “Wigan way” comment a bit of a farce

Looking forward to this one and hoping that Wigan are in some disarray after their cup exit and subsequent "troubles".
If we can match them up front and control the ball, this could be a "bonus" 2 points.

Come on Trin !

On the other hand they could really be 'up for it' after two defeats and bad publicity.

I suppose that all boils down to whatever the issues are - as people say this could be good for us or not so good.

However imho we are more than capable of competing and possibly beating a full strength and motivated Wigan if we play to our potential so no excuses as far as I’m concerned.

That's what I expect - a fully motivated (aka Grubby) Wigan turning up to try and literally wrestle two points away from Wakefield. Wane will probably have them tearing raw meat off the carcass in the dressing room beforehand.

As Vastman says, if we play to our best we've shown in the past few seasons that we are more than capable of doing them over, and lets hope we see it again.

Looking forward to it.

They're definitely in a bad place at the moment - what with the disruption of Wane's announcement, the golden boy departing, and weeks of stress involved in covering up that rotten incident in a local pub; but they're still Wigan - so they could just as easily get in the trenches and give us a drubbing.

I'd love to be wrong - but to turn them over, we'll have to be good - and we haven't been lately.

We have had a weeks rest and hopefully (so far) some decent training sessions, Bren2k is right they're still Wigan and 2 players as key as they are won't make as much difference as some would think.

Will be a close one in my eyes but I can see a Trinity win providing the right Trinity show up.

Who are the 2 key players? Joel has been ineffective for a few seasons now and is a penalty machine!

Sam will play I imagine.
