We have had a weeks rest and hopefully (so far) some decent training sessions, Bren2k is right they're still Wigan and 2 players as key as they are won't make as much difference as some would think.



Will be a close one in my eyes but I can see a Trinity win providing the right Trinity show up.

Who are the 2 key players? Joel has been ineffective for a few seasons now and is a penalty machine!



Sam will play I imagine.

Have you not read prior to that? Player 1 - Sam Tomkins Player 2 - Joel Tomkins... Do keep up.



Joel has still averaged 20 games a season so is ever present and 9 penalties this season, quite a few names with more...

Play anything like and you'll score 50+ again.

Wigan are in a worse state than last year and we can't even play the injury card this year.

It's only last few weeks they've been bad, I expect Wigans bad period is over and they will be back up for it next week knowing our luck. Hopefully we are up for it.



Up the Trin

I have kept up but Sam has not been suspended has he? So why would you think he wont play?

Sutton wont be playing aswell!

Agree about Joel, not an automatic choice when Pies are at full strength.

Sam would have to be made of stone for all this not to have affected him mentally and a few reminders from the home fans may make it even worse for him.

he doesn't get a good reception at the best of times but I bet they have the pampers ready for him, its one hell of a bear pit is Belle Vue

Hang on a minute.

Only 2 weeks ago, you thrashed Warrington at Magic and you are sitting 2nd in the table.

So, thanks for trying to get the pity vote but, really ??



You've had 2 bad results and found that once again, you've got some numpty's in your player roster but, get a grip.



You may get beaten by Trinity on Thursday but, you've hardly got an injury list like some and just because Wane is leaving and the Tomkin's brothers have let you down, dont expect us to feel sorry for you.

I assume everyone has the "Rectum of Wigan, You're Just the Rectum of Wiiii-gan," chants already lined up?



Since John Bateman took on Wire on his own, he's the one player you don't want to be available for them - the rest looked mediocre and disinterested; all that said, I wouldn't take anything for granted - they are still favourites and very capable of putting us to the sword.

Wigan were impressive at Magic Weekend, incidentally Wane announced he was off on the Monday following this. Two bad defeats and this video of the Tomkins brothers followed. Not a good time for them but they are very effective at what they do and we will still have to be at our very best. They are more than capable of toughening up and winning the whole competition if they finish top four so lets not assume an easy ride.
