I have a sneaky feeling you might win on friday. wigan don't look up to much to me and if o'loughlin is missing again it's a very winnable game particularly with mcillorum likely to be suspended.

You are like a stuck record.

I actually agree with Jake, Wigan pack look average to me, halfs aren't anyway as good without Tompkins and O Loughlin creating space. Backline of Charnley, Goulding, Thornley and Burgess is good/solid, but nothing special.

You would have to play well (probably better than anytime this season) and for a full 80 minutes, but I dont think this game is a given like some think on here.

Listen, an average Wigan side will still be better than an average Rovers side, which is the very most we can hope for this season. If the bookies go Wigan at -16 or less I would lump on lads.

What do you think needs to change this season to improve Rovers or is this it for the season?

A decent full back couple of good wingers a centre couple of half backs a fit pack that should do it

We either need to stop conceding soft points and/or score more points. Right now, we're limp in defence and impotent in attack.

You forgot to mention the coach

30 Stone?

Wigan not quite firing yet + a couple of key players missing, think it could be close. Wigan by 10

Ultimately, the book stops with the gaffer. He could have argued about the squad he took on up to the start of this season, but that excuse can't be played now. He obviously saw our poor defence and thought he'd beef up the pack, but that's been done (with limited effect thus far) at the expense of attention to the glaring lack of pace & quality in the 3/4 line. Eden is the only decent back we have, and he doesn't seem capable of ironing out the inconsistencies in his game. Dont get me started on the limitations of the halves!

I don't think Hudgell will allow the situation to drag on long. If we have anything less than 5 points by the end of March I can see Sandercock paying the price. I think that would be the fairest thing to do.

Thought Hudge said review of coach would be Easter? If Sandy goes who would you bring in ?

Shaun Wane might be looking for a job, but for that to happen we'd have taken two points from them putting us one step closer to keeping Sandy.

Thankfully, that's not my job. I don't even know who would be available, but there are only so many 1st grade jobs available in the world, so I suspect there would be plenty of applicants.

If we don't win our next 2 home games, there really isn't any point in delaying another 3 weeks to Easter as the intervening period (Wire away) won't change a thing.

As we'd still have to pay Sandy I would guess that we'd just get on with the job in hand with Craig knowing that he won't be kept on after this year is out and we would start the process once again.

If however things do change I would look at James Webster being given a chance. A lot of work for whoever comes in to do but James has a lot of support from the Craven Park faithful and some glowing references from players he's both played alongside and coached. I would hope that his brother would come back on board as he too was seen as an even better coach but I believe he couldn't become a first team coach here until he's at least been an assistant coach in the NRL??
