We will be going for a fourth successive home win over them, I believe? Certainly an odd statistic when you consider the disparity between the two sides these recent years.

Yes that was the first hat trick of home wins over Wigan since 1985. That was a run of six wins going back to 1977.

Shows how bad the attitude has been when we could get up for big games and then not bother for the 'easier' home games.

Ultimately we have to play everyone at some point and I hope this is where the fans show patience...even 2 defeats to start wouldn't be season over it's the performances that are important.

Christ! That's a really really long time.

Looks like two losses to start the season but no biggie as it'll help the team gel for when the must win games start

Such a long time ago. Especially for those clubs who haven't been good enough to win a major trophy in all that time (since [u1985[/u).
Imagine that, going all of those years watching your club, never lifting anything of note.
I have no idea how depressing that must feel!!!

Perhaps but we need the first W on the board given we've only won three out of our last thirty-four games (and lost n-n-n-n-nineteen games away from home in a row).

Blimey! The BBC doesn’t like us.

Just clicked on the SL League Table on the RL page and they have us bottom. Normally in the close season they list the league in alphabetical order with all teams on 0 points.

Saints, Hudds and Wakefield are 1, 2, and 3. Even the great Man City/PSG of Rugby League are only sixth.

Warrington, Wigan, Leigh and Catalans 3 times. That feels rough.
It's a hugely back loaded fixture list when it come to home games again with about 2/3 in the final 3 months of the season.

Four home games in first 13, five in first 16, 8 from last 11 games at home hopefully we be in a half decent position.

Will need to improve our away record (and also win record based on last year)
