Cheers for the parking info guys.

my first away game in for 2 years cant wait

Looking at the players in the second half against Widnes they looked tired. Our play was slow and we wasn't making much yards. So i hope Watson giving them plenty of rest before Thursday. I would of gone into the game more confident if we played on Friday but still im looking forward to it. Be intresting to see how many wigan players are out for this fixture.

We have players like Evalds Caton-Brown Haggarty who are not even getting much game time so tiredness should not be an issue for us at this point of the season the 4 day turn around isn't ideal after a tough game. Wigan's injuries should be a massive boost to us and I fancy our chances of getting a result

What a dreadful crowd that was. 6518. Let's hope that there are more there on Thursday, even without me, as I'm not going to be there as it's on Thursday.

now that's made me feel old .
Dave Bradbury had a good game

From Wigan's 19 named the squad to play could look like -

Tierney,
Manfredi, Gelling, Sarginson, Gildart,
Williams, Smith,
Flower, Powell, Mossop,
Farrell, Bateman,
O'Loughlin,

Tautai, Clubb, Sutton, Burke.

6500 is a good crowd. Clashed with city and if we keep competing like we are that will rise. What was crowd last year?

The game was at Wigan. Not a great crowd for them.

Looking at that pie team not as depleted as people were thinking.

I still think they'll be too strong for us in the forwards, although our pack was outstanding for me against Widnes just think they might have a slight edge over us unfortunately.

Looking forward to it, I hope Joe Cobb isn't reffing after last years farce there.

No, it’s that rufus lummox George Stokes.

Nothing wrong with having confidence, but I think a few people need to just wind it in a touch. Some of the comments I've seen on social media seem to think this game is a forgone conclusion (in our favour), we're not Leigh fans folks.

Wigan's 19 has 6 England regulars, plus the likes of Gelling, Powell, Clubb, Manfredi, Flower etc who are all very dangerous players. On paper they're squad is still stronger than ours despite their injuries. I think it will be a close(ish) game with Wigan winning by 12-14 points, we've not won at the JJB / DW since they moved there in 1998, tomorrow will also be a huge (but not impossible) task.

I think you're right on the money here.

Wigan away will always be tough regardless, and they do have a better squad than us. I understand the optimism from some quarters but they need to be prepared for the big bump back down to earth that will come at some point.

If we play to our best, then we give ourselves a great chance, and as long as we keep the score respectable I'll be fairly content.

Spot on mate.

I think Wigan will be too strong for us, plus they'll be smarting from that tonking off Brisbane.

Surely Wigan wont play Gildart on Carneys wing will they? If they do, that has to be the side we attack. Sarginson and Gildart are the defensive weak links in that team. Sa’u and Carney should run over the top of them both, literally.

Hopefully our kicking game is directed to Gildart all night long too. It makes absolutely no sense in kicking to Manfredi.

Can't see anything but a comfortable, routine Wigan victory tomorrow!

Obviously hope I'm wrong though!

If we play anything like we did in the last 50 minutes against Widnes, we'll get smashed!

Apart from Browns 40/20 kick their other try's come from our mistakes. The offside from kick off, Carney's off load and god knows what O'Brien was doing for their last try. We wasted a few opportunity's ourselves with Griffin and Johnson. My only concern as i already said was how slow we was attacking with twenty minutes to go. They all looked tired. So i hope they recoverd well in the last few days since its nearly the same 19.

The wigan 19 man squad is a lot stronger than I thought. We can win but Wigan are the favourites

I said you would turn Widnes over and i think you will also turn Wigan over.
You can see there is confidence in the team and that counts for a lot

I agree that people need to reign their expectations in. I didn't think we played that well on Sunday. We made far too many mistakes and overplayed when there was no need to.

If we make as few errors as we did against saints we will have a chance but Sunday showed that we intend to move the ball a lot sp it is hard not to make mistakes. If we'd played more sensible rugby at times then I don't think Widnes would have got near us. When we were 12-0 up I was convinced we were going to lose because of how we were playing. After going 22-0 up I was more confident but we still nearly lost.

That is not because Widnes were amazing. They were good but unspectacular. If we play anything like that against Wigan we will lose comfortably. Wigan are a much better and more experienced team than Widnes. They will punish us. Hopefully we will play more like we did against Saints

Not seen such a poor reffing display in a long time, extremely strange decisions going against both sides.

Although I couldn't see from the other end, a lot of people saying that it was a blatant knock on prior to the last try.

First half though we were our own worst enemy and the likes of Lui didn't look interested, not sure we actually attacked their line.
The set completion rate for the entire game mustn't have been more than 30%.

In defence Carney frustrates so much always stands 10 yards in leaving his winger which Wigan exploited numerous times.
Second half we seemed to switch on and realise we still had s chance, that try from BMM where he steam rolled Farrell I think I'd like to see again.

Real arm wrestle which could've gone either way and a share of the spoils would've been a fair result.

I've seen some poor refereeing at schoolboy/amateurs level, but that takes the biscuit.
Terrible for both sides.

Join the club. He was appalling at Leigh last weekend!
