But there'll be more FC fans there to clap the boys off than you had at Donny.

Confirmed on Wigan's website - Tomkins and O'Loughlin to miss Friday and likely out for the rest of the season.

need to be quick out the block on friday night, cant afford to be pedestrian pace like last friday night


hopefully the pressure of being at home and favourites will be too much for wigan

We need to stop allowing the oppostion to make easy metres by standing and waiting instead of pushing up to meet them like we have done in the last half dozen games as by standing and waiting we let them have 10m then another 5 to 10M due to losing the collision.

I am still not convinced CT is helping playing at 6, individually can't fault him but for me his link up play is very much lacking which for me is an important part of the role of being a stand off.

AS someone just said to me if Tomkins is out who will be refereeing the game on Friday?

Come on Pete we all know it will be the Apeman.

Yeh someone said he'd be pumped up for it by Friday, although I thought he already was!

Deary me Wilf, if he's not in the team, it leaves him clear to referee, just won't be able to keep up but what official can.

We (Wigan) played some damn good stuff on Friday, easily the best "rugby" we've seen all season.
Hopefully we'll carry on with this style next Friday and not go back into our shells.
Have a safe trip everyone who's coming.

First allocation of tickets already sold at the K Com - getting another batch tomorrow - there will be in excess of 15K at the game.
We need to make some noise for the boys!!! In Radders we believe. Washy and Green back on the bench for Thommo and Hadley - i.e. The Challenge Cup winning team.

Anyone booked on the coaches yet? What time are they setting off - tried calling the shop but no answer

leave 4pm from south stand car park, was in earlier upto coach 6

I went in today. 8 coaches already, more tickets tomorrow and coaches will be booked to suit demand

Think Hull would struggle, if we go off squad numbers
that's you missing Shaul, houghton, Talanoua, Watts, Ellis, Abdul, Green and Hadley.

Our injuries would kill most teams but we will still be competative on Friday.

give over, wigan are fav in everbodys books, some on your site have already got final tickets booked, like the last semi

If the point you're trying to make is that Wigan have a deeper squad than most then I don't think you'll get much argument. That's one of the benefits of being at or near the top for so long. Wigan's recruitment and retention policy has also been top notch - Pearson and Radford have both mentioned it as a model they will be trying to emulate. We, on the other hand, are just coming out of a long period of mediocrity inspired by terrible recruitment and retention. You don't fix that overnight or even over a few seasons. So our squad, while being deeper than we've had for many a year, isn't as deep as yours.

Wigan are clear favourites for Friday night for this and a number of other reasons. Our players have played above and beyond the level expected of them this season and have finally run out of gas. It will take a fairly miraculous reversal of form for us to win.

Hate to say it but Wigan will have too much for us to handle even without Tomkins,lockers etc,the desire is there but I just feel we don't have much left in the tank to challenge Wigan for the full 80 mins,it would need a total reversal of recent form and I think it's too much

2nd in the league , 2 semi finals (at the very least) with the injury's Wigan have had to deal with this year the have done remarkably well . no other team would have done what they have done this with the same injury's . don't get me wrong they are boring as feck to watch watch but hats off to them tbf they've done it hard

Hopefully its comments kike this from the media, social mefia etc, that really fill the tank for the hull players, and really give them boring , dirty ducking cheating red and white ,
Phil clarke loving mother duckers a real good harding, will love it if the boys can pull this one off

if the players are deemed to be too tired, surely radders will give them less contact training

Heard tonight Talanoa out, both Ellis and Manu doubtful.

If they both pull through there is a chance Pritchard won't play.

Who will play on the wing if Talanoa is out?

naughton

Why?
