I'll be there, looking forward to it already!



When's McGuire and Peacock due back?

I hope Leeds at least give them a game. Best we can hope for is a narrow defeat. They will play better than they did against the Wolves, McGuire will see to that. Leeds really are heading for mid-table oblivion along with Bradford and the Hull clubs. Wish we could generate the spirit Cas are showing this season (punching well above their weight) because even with our injury woes, there are still quality players turning out in the blue and amber playing like school kids.

Danny doesn't coach us, Michael Maguire does

He was truly awful in dealing with kicks and made some questionable defensive decisions for a couple of tries down his channel. Other aspects of his play were decent but the negative aspects of his play probably cost Wigan most of the points they conceded.



IMO of course.

Well your glass is most definitely half empty!

What are Cas doing that is so different?



They have only played one game away from hom so far that can be classed as an away game. That one game was a defeat, against a poor side.



At home they have played a top challenging side in Huddersfield, but also played two very poor cellar dwellar sides in Catalans and Crusaders. Then add in playing Wakefield at MM at the best possible time to be playing a poor Wakey side.



I have made no secret in the past that I go to watch a fair few Cas matches per season, and they are playing well. But they have been far from tested in any game as yet.

Interesting because that's how it sounded exactly on Radio Leeds.



Personally I ask if Leeds have the defence to compete. You've been poor in that department this year. 24 points a match being conceded compared to Wigan's 14. If we defend to our usual standard then we will have enough in attack to win. If it ends up an offensive shoot out then this plays into Leeds hand I reckon.



Bad as our result was against Warrington, I don't actually think our defence was too bad and Warrington did put in a top draw performance. Not sure this current Leeds side has that in them at the moment. But we shall see, I mean Wigan consistently went to Leeds and won (in regular season) when it was Leeds being Champions and us chasing the top.....

Hall, who was beaten in the air by Shenton against Saints, was questionable yesterday under the high kick. So could be interesting against Wigan!



In the first half on at least 2 occasions he failed to get off the ground. Wingers generally are confidence players and I'm pleased to report that in the 2nd half, he took 2 belting bombs which should build his confidence in this area.

Good. They clearly employ mentally stable people.







We don't have the defence to compete. That's exactly what I'm saying. Any other team would've hammered us in the first half at the weekend.



Totally agree with what you're saying.

IF is a very big word. IF the ball sticks we'll be trotting out at OT in October, but to be honest I've not seen anything so far that gives me any great confidence that we will improve any time soon. It is early doors in the season admitedly, and there's nowt to be won in March. I'm just not to sure that the coaching staff and all the players are singing off the same song sheet.



Wigan's defence is in a class of its own, and its defence that wins matches. Agreed their attack is on a par with ours, but for the first time ever, I do think we could catch a backlash this Friday. I'll be delighted to be proved wrong though, and I hope to see us competing, no matter what the final score is.



If either of the Tomkins brats gets a slap, I'll have a wee s at that as well!

It's not as clear cut as some of u are making out



you may be defending badly but IMO I don't think our attack has much fluidity about yet this year were defending well as you'd expect but we've nit clicked yet



maybe finch having another full week training with the boys will help



on charnley he's getting alot of stick over nothing he did drop them balls fair enough but carmont was blocking for one and got right in his way the intersept one was just unlucky but the trys down his side was because the second rower and centre got dragged in and left him icsolated twice

BEWARE THE RUGBY GODS, that's all i'm going to say
