After starting the season really good and winning the world club challenge Wigan seemed to have gone down hill badly this past 8 weeks or so. I am seriously worried about our chances against Leigh! If lockers and sam etc was back and escare and flower did not get injured we would hammer Leigh by about 30-40 points tommorow but with lockers missing the team TOTALLY looks like a really poor side! Wane said that Sam Gelling and Bateman would be back for the Leigh game. I think he is resting players for the top 8s but it could all backfire if we lose all remianing games.

Yes

Will Wigan get to the GF, no

Top 8 yes, top 4 no

Even as bad as things stand it is unimaginable that we won't make the top 8.

If we get Bateman back in the next 2 weeks, yes.

Top 4, win GF.

i reckon 5 or 6. we've too much to do now. the gap is too big, our points diff is just silly & we'd be relying on everyone else to royally mess up. of those above us we only play whinos in the regular season.
time for a rest & accept mid-table mediocrity for this year

The thing about being mid table though is that there are lots of four pointers being played all around us. Salford v Hull, Wakey v Leeds, etc. All four can't win!

Correct. We need to get our own house in order and not worry about anybody else. If we can put a good run of wins together we can really challenge.

Not giving up yet - we need to be no more than four points away from the top 4 when the Super 8s start.

That is still doable, particularly if we can sneak a win this week.

Just a few weeks ago I was still very confident of lifting the big one. But getting pipped at Saints, collapsing v Wakey and putting in a rotten performance at Hull has put a huge dent in our chances.

I think top 4 is now 50/50 but if we make the top 4 we'll win the GF IMO. A fully fit Wigan are still the best team in the league when it comes down to the pressure of the playoffs and grinding out the big wins.

So the motivation to start picking points up asap is there for the taking, we just need to remember how to win.

Wigan are actually still second favourites for the grand final!cant believe that.

Six more points should see us safe in the top 8, lose on Thursday though and those 6 pts will look an awful long way off.

Top 8 yes but no to the GF,id go as far to say Cas and maybe Salford unless they absolutly collapse in the next 7 weeks or so are certs for the semi final at least given the points carry over.

We will finish 9th, bringing about the clean out that the club needs, New Coach will bring in some great players and we will win CC, LLS & GF in 2018, Jarrod Croker will replace Sam Tomkins as number one Marque signing and sort out our kicking and centre play

Why not try to finish 9th or below? Imagine the fantastic crowds we could get for the middle 8's with Warrington-Widnes-Wigan round robin games. All we need to do is get Saints on board and it's a winner.

Providing we get a few troops back (and keep them back) I think we'll finish 5th, maybe 6th. We've then got 7 games for a shot at the top 4. I don't think the top 4 is out of reach however if we do make it we'll likely not have enough left in the tank for a GF.

Looking down neither is it inconceivable that we end up in the middle 8's but I think we have enough to avoid that.

Top 4 is not out of reach yet, the next month will be key for me, need some points on the board and with teams above us in the table playing each other in the next few weeks it would be a good time to start closing the gap (easier said than done)

I would hope we would have plenty in the tank and more come the "business end" with quite a few players missing good chunks of the season. If we get players back and staying fit, we SHOULD finish the year very strong, just hope we haven't given ourselves too much to do.

I think we will finish 5th and then make the Top 4 with winning majority of the games in the Super 8's

Think by the second week in July after Catalan away things will look different.

Our next five fixtures are against the bottom five in the league table. The teams above us all have to play each other, a lot can change in the next few weeks.

We've just got to put in as many wins as possible and the table will take care of itself.
