We should have most of our key players available and don't think Sandercock will want to throw ths one icon_eek.gif .

Rumours are that Wigan have a couple of injuries including Matty Smith.

Think the boys will put in a good performance this time around (as long as Latus isn't on the field).

Rovers by 4. And no I'm not clinically insane, they just haven't found me yet! icon_biggrin.gif

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Frederick Douglas:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_30596.jpg



At last, a proper thread title.

Wigan by twenty.

I think it will be one of two 1 we will win just 2 and the most likely a drubbing again but miracles can happen and why can we not have one I can see the headlines now (bloody hell hull KR beat Wigan) well I can dream icon_lol.gif

What's your likely line up?

For Wigan, Smith is injured and could miss out but otherwise a decent team.

S Tomkins,
Charnley, Goulding, Thornley, Richards,
Green, Smith/Powell,
Flower, McIlorum, Mossop,
Hansen, Farrell,
O'Loughlin.
Bench of - Dudson, Lauaki, Taylor, Hughes/L Tomkins.

Lets hope (for us) it doesn't rain.

Think I said on here at the time that I thought Wigan were not the best team we’ve seen here this year, regardless of the drubbing they gave us. We were utterly shocking that day, in fact we were worse than that and I think one of a number of SL teams would have put a huge score in against us that day.
I’m hoping for a reaction from the team and us to run them close(ish) for a long period of this match, can’t see us winning it but hopefully come out with a bit of pride.
A hopefully fit Dobbo and Burns will see us a bit more potent in attack and we can just hope Wigan are either slightly off their game or over complacent.
IF we do win it then who fancies Leeds in the next round.

Irrespective of how bad we were, Wigan were sensational on Easter Monday and would have beaten anybody in Super League. My big hope for sunday is that we cant play that badly again and they are unlikely to play as well as Easter Monday.
Its going to take all 17 players performing to the best of their ability and an ingenius game plan from Sandercock to pull this one off, combined with an off-key Wigan performance.
Unlikely in the extreme but nothing is impossible.

Think this will be closer than many expect, but still can't see past a Wigan win. Pies by 12

If we do pull off the miracle I fully expect to play Leeds or Hudds in next round and Hull will get a bye or something. Still, if you want to win it you've got to beat the best...

They weren't that good when they played us the other week and only won by virtue of kicking more goals. Their 4 tries came in 2 lots of back to back sets and other than that Hull kept them pretty much at bay. They did score 2 great long range tries and you have to be at your best for every minute of the game otherwise they will punish you. smith will be a big loss for them as everything goes through him

If your team decides to defend then it could be quite close. However, Wane will be aware that you want revenge and will have the players fired up.

Wigan by 30

And as already mentioned above, I hope it doesn't rain.

It is apparently supposed to be raining in Hull on Sunday but seeing as the away fans are housed way back in Leeds, we should be alright.

I would say you are closer to Amsterdam than Leeds. You may need to check if you have at least 6 months left on your passport.

On a serious note. There were plenty of Leeds fans in our East stand without incident. A bit of friendly banter and nothing more. It has got to be better than the South. There should be enough space for everyone.

Blind optimism is one thing, ridiculous stupidity is entirely different.
