Anyone willing to make a prediction for Friday?



After a close game away and a hammering at home last year, are we in a better position to stand up to the giants?



I'll go for:

Wigan 24

Giants 18



1st Try: Ainscough

MOM: Leuluai

It would be nice to cast this one as the revenge match for last year. But the Giants are flying high and, as usual, we seem to be sputtering along. It could go either way. But one thing's certain - Wigan won't be taking this one lightly.

14k crowd. Mini bus load from Huddersfield splattered in the East stand corner.

Im gonna stick my neck out and say I think we could lose this one. Playing some good footy Huddersfield.

Huddersfield look to be playing some decent rugby this year and although I wouldn't take any of their players man for man over ours they do seem to play as a team. For that reason and bearing in mind our consistently inconsistent form I'm predicting either a resounding victory for us or a close game with them beating us.



What I will predict though, is Hock and Mason will fall out during the game and will be exchanging words from start to finish.

Wigan 24

Huddersfield 18



I think it'll be a close game but our players will still focused on home form.

Very tough game for us this Friday but I'll go for Wigan by 4.

Wigan 18

Huddersfield 22



MOM - Robinson

1st try - Piggy

I think a few of us posted just after our victory over over Bradford that this (Huddersfield) game would be a real test to see how far we have progressed.



They are a very good (but underrated) team.



I honestly can't call it but expect it to be a really tough game for us. Huddersfield like to play the game with a lot of width and will look to "get at us" on the outside.



If Tim Smith plays there is no doubt that they will target his defence.



It should be great game to watch, I just hope the weather stays dry enough to allow both teams to play open rugby.

Wigan - 12

Hudds -26





Both teams can be all over the place great 1 minute garbage the next though so who knows. Nathan Brown does seem to have got some consistency from them (not that that is something the coach can do apparently!

) and they are playing well, hence my prediction, very difficult to call in truth though.



Massive game for Brian Noble in my opinion. If we play well we can win it, but we will have to play well. Do not think we will get away with the performance we put in against them at the Galpharm next year and come away with the points.

Very close game, 2 points in it I reckon.
