Agree about Joel, not an automatic choice when Pies are at full strength.
Sam would have to be made of stone for all this not to have affected him mentally and a few reminders from the home fans may make it even worse for him.

Hang on a minute.
Only 2 weeks ago, you thrashed Warrington at Magic and you are sitting 2nd in the table.
So, thanks for trying to get the pity vote but, really ??

You've had 2 bad results and found that once again, you've got some numpty's in your player roster but, get a grip.

You may get beaten by Trinity on Thursday but, you've hardly got an injury list like some and just because Wane is leaving and the Tomkin's brothers have let you down, dont expect us to feel sorry for you.

I assume everyone has the "Rectum of Wigan, You're Just the Rectum of Wiiii-gan," chants already lined up?

Since John Bateman took on Wire on his own, he's the one player you don't want to be available for them - the rest looked mediocre and disinterested; all that said, I wouldn't take anything for granted - they are still favourites and very capable of putting us to the sword.

Wigan were impressive at Magic Weekend, incidentally Wane announced he was off on the Monday following this. Two bad defeats and this video of the Tomkins brothers followed. Not a good time for them but they are very effective at what they do and we will still have to be at our very best. They are more than capable of toughening up and winning the whole competition if they finish top four so lets not assume an easy ride.

Indeed

Chester will have to tell the team that we're playing Saints as we seem to get up for that game every time.
Of late, we dont know which Trinity will take the field but, if we can manage 50% possession, we can definitely win this one and it would be worth it just to hear the excuses on Sky.

Great to see Ashurst`s name back on the team sheet!

Top 4 back on now then yeah? Jesus wept, you have been simply awful most of the season then you scrape the barrel with a win against us, with a lot of key players out! Now all of sudden you are talking yourself up to beat wigan? "If we play like we can then we should beat them" what a load of rubbish, what if Wigan play like they can?

You seem to rapidly build great expectations for your side, you will be crashing back down to earth on Thursday night.

I see you took the defeat well.

I'm sure everyone here is really pleased you are concerned about how our club is doing. You'd certainly be better off concentrating on your own lot.

I thought we'd got rid of this guy for a couple of weeks at least!!

Nothing wrong with optimism in my eyes!

I know exactly where my club are tbh, no delusions here, our job is to survive this season and that is Wakefield`s as well. Yet you lot have very high opinion of yourselves for some reason.

Have to agree with our Scouse guest. We did scrape past Widnes and this season we've shown how poor we are far too many times already. The only team we've beaten easily is Hull kr, yet they beat Wigan easily. Work that out!

Like I said before - Nothing wrong with optimism in my eyes!

Who'd of thought that we'd beat them 62-0 or even 32-0? Obviously I'm not suggesting we will hammer them but anything can happen.
