I am going to this game. Can anyone tell me where the Dragons fans usually sit? I did go last year but just bought ticket on the day in one of the main stands.

Thanks

I just sit in the Wigan end.
We have a lot of injuries . Inu and Wiliame are definitely out and Bousquet is doubtful on top of the 5 existing injuries. It looks like Gigot-Yaha ? Thornley Duport-Walsh Myler-Casty Aiton Moa- Anderson Garcia- ? Interchange Simon Bosc plus 2 others. Cannot see us winning

title duly edited

In my opinion we should play Albert-or even Bosc at full back and Gigot at centre.This would mean that we would have enough forwards Viz. Casty Moa Simon Bousquet or Seguier Anderson Garcia Margalet Bosc if not at F.B. otherwise Da costa Aiton and one other.

Escare is going to run riot

You might be right there !




The points against is the key piece of analysis here. Our record against these is poor and we will need to see something quite epic I feel on Sunday to reverse that trend.

Having said all of that, the performances last week came right out of left field and surprised me.

Won 3 games over easter so not too fussed if we lose (which seems highly likely).

Need to get the injury list down. Too many atm to remain competitive

Sounded close until the last 15 or so. Meh. We move on.

I think that the injured players Bird, Baitieri, Broughton, Inu and Horo could have made a difference if they had played. The team is going to underperform against every other team while they are out.

Williame aswell! Both first choice centres out

That's like Wigan saying we would have won with a bigger margin if Tomkins x2, Manfredi, Gelling, Gildart, Bateman, Clubb, etc were fit. You can only play with what's available to you. Invest more in the youth and you will see the rewards in the future. Stop buying over the hill NRL players. Wigan (and the rest of SL) have made that mistake time and again.

Thanks for the advice

...and all the best for the rest of the season.

Hello all .Here is my belated report. I have not seen any T.V. replays. We started very badly and conceded 2 long distance tries. Gigot's attempted tackle for the second one was pitiful. We caught up with the aid of 2 high bombs that Escare-surprise surprise could not deal with. However Gigot showed that he was just as hopeless at the start of the second half .Amazingly-given the run of play we then took the lead .However,we had been very vulnerable through the middle all match and collapsed thereafter.
As you will all know I observe Duport like an eagle and have reported in the past how he never goes for a high ball-offensive or defensive - but stands still with his arms raised at 45 degree angles.Why I do not know. Last Sunday his worst nightmare materialised . A high ball came over his head from the back and just missed his nose.Needless to say he was unable to react and let the ball bounce when it was easier to score.Please please please take him away from centre.
On the whole we did not play badly and Myler and Walsh were again excellent. I fear that Casty lacks the speed and the skill to play loose forward. They have lots of injuries too but their depth of talent is much greater than ours. I shall be at wakefield where the Bird is due to return .
