If we lose this I promise never to start a match thread again as I am clearly a curse.

Away from superstition and the Dragons will be looking to stop the rot with a good performance at the DW Stadium.

I think it is a bit much to suggest a win until we know who is going to be injured/suspended.

Walker is looking handy...

Roll call. Who's going?

I will be unavailable for selection now until after honeymoon

Although might be getting a pass out to York Vs Gateshead at Easter.

No, that was Steve Bell


boom boom...

Walloped at home another player sent off, i have to say i had reservations after last years wet sail job to make finals a couple of things to note.
*The dramas at leeds pub and arrest is affecting players.
*The team is heavily reliant on bosc, if his injury is worst than 1st thought they must persist with young barthau.
*They will struggle to make 8, the way i see it, walters must blood more talent if this is the case, kane bentley needs more game time a class number 9.
*Walters seems to put any aussie who has played rep footy ahead of french lads, please drop bell put walker on the wing and sa in 2nd row.
*They have had 3 super years, challenge cup final, 2nd finals appearances three play off wins including a home walloping of warrington, a slide is on the cards.
* Will the dropping of gussiet cause internal unrest at catalans.
*They will again struggle at wigan, walters needs to persist with young barthau.
*I expect a 10th or 11th finish, sides have caught up.

don't waste your money. wigan will cruise it.

There is a possibility Wigan could "cruise" it but there is a similar possibility that Dragons could come good and get a result.

That's the whole point of sport !

An interesting point. Is the dropping of Guisset symptomatic of or the cause of internal unrest? Or, by the same token, not.

This will be a big test of the Wigan mentality.

They're coming up against a side in abit of a hole who are missing they're best player( in my opinion) in Bosc but in truth the quality gap between the sides isn't very big(and when Bosc is fit there probably isn't a gap).

If we're slightly off our game theres no doubt Catalans are good enough to pull off a win at the DW.

I'm looking forward to watching Dallas Johnson in action. How's he been doing so far?

I don't think there's a huge gap between any two random teams in the league you care to pluck out.


He's quality is our Keith. Not in an eye-catching way though, if you see what I mean.

Yeah he's always like that isn't he.

You just know what your going to get from him. He'll work away all day long and he was always going to be a good signing.

I really hope you can get Bosc back soon. He's a fantastic player and really makes the team tick. How long is he looking at being out for?

It's one of those that is always 2-4 weeks away. Looks like at least 4 at the moment.

www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... inary.html Elima banned. Wigan go into this as the favourites. Home advantage and an excellent run of form compared to a dismal start by Les Catalans and off field issues that have seemed to unsettle the Catalan players. However in Super League anything can happen and Wigan have been notorious to play fantastic one week and awful the next. Although that was under the Noble regime. I expect Wigan to win this one, but I never go into a game 100% confident of a win. Hope a few of you can get down and watch (hopefully) a great game of Rugby League.

Saturday night took alot out of us some of the players dropped to the floor when the final hooter went, saying that our fitness levels are massive this year and i know for sure our players will be going out all guns blazing not expecting a walkover.

Looking forward to the game and safe journey over to any fans making the long trip
