Ah yes! Talk about starting as you mean to go on! Gale being sent off that afternoon feels now like a microcosm of everything that has gone wrong around our club these past 4/5 years. Decent crowd, dreadful performance, weather even worse (seem to recall it snowed for a decent portion of the afternoon), high profile signing sent off. Honestly, if it could go wrong it did go wrong that afternoon (and most afternoons after that as well!!!). Hoping that one day I will wake up to find that these past few years have all been simply a bad dream and they haven't actually happened!!!

Let's hope that isn't repeated tonight, it's not going to snow at least, that we do know for certain!!!

Just three years ago but the only players from the XVII that day still at the club are Lane, Fash and Sao.

I haven't purchased a season pass this year as circumstances could mean me missing half of our matches........But I've purchased my merchandise and have managed to squeeze in tonights match......So shirt all ready and looking forward to it......looks like it could be a dry night ......Just hoping for the same commitment and energy levels as last week ....The rest will take care of itself ...COYH

no need to iron it if you have your coat on

Discipline is massive for me tonight along with ball retention.
If we can keep the penalties and restarts down and show the same effort and desire in defence as last week, then while I don't think we will ultimately win, I can see us keeping things competitive. And then if we can get into the final 10 minutes still in the game you never know what can happen at that point.
Give away too much ball or repeatedly invite Wigan into our territory through penalties and restarts then I think they will have enough fire power to rattle up a fair few points. We know defensively they will be their usual tough selves. Not letting a try in for 8 hours (or whatever they're at now) is quite a remarkable stat.
Just looking to see us continue on from last week and hopefully the disruption in the team from injuries doesn't cause us too many problems. Hopefully Ashworth makes it.

Fear the absolute worst looking at the amount of quality in that Wigan team, hopefully the boys will have a good dig and run them close.

4 players down from the team that started last week. Very tough task tonight but expect the lads to give it their best efforts

Too easy. Long night ahead

Fash v Nsemba is such a mismatch

Doesn't look good for Sao, hope it's nothing major

Terrible performance this.
