I don't think anyone will be taking us lightly, based on our recent form and the performance against Wigan. As long as we give it our all, then I'll be satisified.

As well as the usual ball coming loose single criteria-based decisions: Warrington in possession = ball steal, Hull in possession = knock-on.

I think it'll be a close one, with FC taking it.

Not nervous for it, nothing by our recent performances says we should be. Playing some good stuff, confidence is high and we're playing as a unit in defence and attack. Won't be easy by any measure, but if we turn up like we have been there's no reason why we can't get the result.

Here here, I'm with you on this one; we absolutely need to turn up like we can and with all bottle and commitment!

Not a game you'd see as a win at the start of the season. If we get anything out of the game it's a bonus. I'll be satisfied with a competitive performance.

Still, we picked up the two points a couple of seasons back so if we are on our game who knows.

I think this game could make or break our season, win and this would give the lads massive belief going into a pretty tough schedule over the next 4 games which could (emphasise could) see us pressing the top four if we get a roll on.
Lose badly or put in a shoddy performance then I think we would be lucky to get one win out of the next three which will put us right on the back foot.
The confidence of the team is so important (as it always is tbh), I just think at this stage of the season a poor loss would be really damaging, a win could well propel us to something special
I think the result is that crucial

A win at Wire would really put a marker down for the rest of the season and gives us some real confidence at exactly the right time.

However, Silverwood is reffing so I fully expect us to be right in the game until he decides that we shouldn't be.

my heart sank when i read it was silverwood! always backs the top teams gifting nice easy penalties when they need them! just like wigan at home!!

its a bit of a free hit this one, just need to keep some form, avoid injury and suspension and i'll be happy

A performance like the Wigan one and we wont be far off Wire imo.

Big pack Wire, can we match them? I think Watts is a huge loss although, I am yet to hear anything whatsoever on his injury. I think he was the main reason we progressed as we did second half of the season last year, big unit with a lot of skill.

Can't see us winning with all these forwards out but hopeful of a good show. When are Westerman and Tickle due back?

hodgson ruled out for wire, minor knee op, will miss two weeks
