Glass half empty, that's always my angle when it comes to supporting Rovers. It's an expectation management thing.

When I'm wrong (and I often am) then I'm delighted. When the blind optimist is wrong, he's devastated.

One reason why we wont beat Wigan. Sam Tomkins. He's missed a lot of their league games recently that's why they have been beaten by Cas, Saints etc.

The best player I've seen in England since Ellery Hanley, Brett kenny, era . He's destroyed us everytime we play against him. We had them on the rack for 30 mins in the cup game before Wane realised he could move him to off half with Green off. He scored 3 tries in 15 mins from off half and the game was over. Remember him dislocating his finger early on in a play off game at JJB and he destroyed us with one hand. An incredible player who gets targeted every game he plays. Wigan are an average side without him their whole offence is bulit around him. When he and Richards leaves at the end of the year i'll look forward to playing Wigan again.

Pray he stays fit for the final. Now where can I lend a cherry and white shirt and an abacus for that game?

I think o'loughlin is more important than tomkins

O' Loughlin was moved to off half when Green was carried off at Craven Park. His performance was hilarious. He can't pass despite his best efforts and hit the ground with his passes more than his team mates. They then moved Tomkins there.

He's a very good forward but there are plenty of those in England. A work horse like him can be replaced. For me Tomkin's abilty is unique.

Me I much prefer watching Tomkins make ass's of professional players. It's like watching road runner cartoons some games.

Must admit I agree with that, Tomkins is almost unplayable at times.

Through my rose tinted half full glass:- He might have on off day or be rested.

If o'loughlin and Tomkins play you will get beat, if either don't then you have a chance, if neither play I fancy you to take the points

Pretty much how i see it.

Why Wudnt they play they're not injured are they

No , I think it was just a general statement about wigans team Ginge

Can't see a win, but a gutsy performance to try and gain back some pride after the disgrace at CP this season would be acceptable to me. I have thought we would beat FC, Widnes, London plus one of Wire, Leeds or Wigan, so you never know.

I don't think either are 100% fit and have been nursed through the last few weeks of the season. Both have had spells out of the team and only came in for the CC game so depends how they came through the run out.

I was a bit down reading the negative predictions for this game, but after reading CS' press duties and "hopefully we'll be competitive" - I concur, I think we'll get annihilated.

The positive - should Tomkins play, it could possibly be the last time he'll rip us a new one.

Rovers by 4 it is then.

Worst ground to go to in the league when it comes to refereeing decisions - you'll get the square root of zero from whoever it is with the whistle. I'm glad the next time we play them will be at a neutral venue.

Wigan squad:

Joe Burgess, Josh Charnley, Dom Crosby, Ben Flower, Anthony Gelling, Darrell Goulding, Blake Green, Harrison Hansen, Jack Hughes, Epalahame Lauaki, Michael McIlorum, Lee Mossop, Sean O'Loughlin, Sam Powell, Matty Smith, Scott Taylor, Logan Tomkins, Sam Tomkins, Chris Tuson.

No Richards, Farrell, Thornley or Dudson from Saturday.
