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.
