Oh the irony



Also think it'll be a tight game. Think it'll depend on who's right centre and whether Smith plays; Sam & Tommy / Bailey and we'll win by 10, sam & Smith / Goulding or Pryce and we'll lose by 10.

What would everyones team be???

Id go for similar to last week but a few changes.

Pat
Roberts(there is no point having him in the reserves i dont know really why he got dropped in the first place, i think he can be good for us)
Bailey
Carmont
Ainy
Sam
Tommy
Coley
Riddell
Fielden
Tomkins
Hansen
Lockers
---------------------------
Feka
Hock
Macca
Prescott

Same as last week except McIlorum in for Smith and Roberts in for Pryce.

I think Wigan will be up for this game with so many ex Wiganers playing for Huddersfield. Plus the fact that Wigan have a couple more homegrowns in their team than of late. If both teams play to their strengths then it will be close. Mind you both teams seem to play good rugby inconsistantly more-so Wigan.

Hudds are playing well, even when they were poor v Hull the game still ended 4 tries each. Hull won due to Tickle's goalkicking.
Our pack has to match and beat theirs for us to have a chance. If they do get on top our halves will set things going.
If the Hudds pack wins so will their team.

this could be the defining point of our season and show us where we are likely to finish. Personally I think we will win by 6-10 points IF we do not play tim smith, we cannot afford to play this turnstile against these.

My team would be

1.Richards
2. Roberts
3. Bailey
4. Carmont
5. Ainscough
6. Sam Tomkins
7. Leuluai
8. Coley
9. Riddell
10. Palea'asenia
11. Hansen
12. Tomkins
13. O'Loughlin

14. Fielden
15. Hock
16. McIllorum
17. Prescott

prediction

wigan 28-20 huddersfield

we owe them one after the embarrasing result at the jjb last year

Well, let's hope he doesn't.

I'll go for Wigan 36 Huddersfield 12 with Ainscough getting a hat-trick. Can't wait.

If Crabtree,Mason and Griffin play like they did on Sunday you lot have no chance - they will lay the platform for Robbo and Browny to show your lot what your mssing and destroy you



- seriously if our forwards play well we'll do ya

28-14 to the Giants - and be prepared to see the biggest Giants following for years at Wigan ( and i dont mean 150)

Crabtree, Mason and Griffin. Oooh we're scared.

I hope your team come with that attitude - though I doubt they will. Unlike you, if it all goes wrong, they'll have nowhere to hide.

Ask the quins how well they played last weekend.

Mason might get a lot of slating but this season his workrate is absolutely outstanding and in Crabtree and Griffin we have two enormous props that can wreck any defensive line.

Its gonna be a tough game, I think Wigan will pinch it with home advantage, it all depends on if Hudds can keep the penalty count down like they did against quins, if we give you as much ball as we have to Hull and Cas there is no way we can do it.

As for quality of individual players, some of you need to come up to date.

You're setting yourself up there! 152?

Indeed this game is very loseable... and if we do im not looking forward to the reaction of the fans.

il go for an extremely dull boring 10-8 ..

Keep Believing

My team would be

Richards
Roberts
Bailey
Carmont
Ainscough
Sam
Tommy
Prescott
Riddell
Coley
Hansen
Lockers
Joel

Feka
Hock
Fielden
McIlorum

Wigan 26 v 18 Huddersfield

MOM Sam

It will be a very tough game, huddersfield have been playing very well of late however I feel with it being at home and considering what they have done to us in recent years we will be very focussed and should hopefully come out on top.

wigan by 8
Mathers hat trick
MOM tommy

arnt you a miserable bugger!!! glad i dont sit near you. why do you bother watching???

I think we could have a good attendance. I usually miss this game as have had nightmares on the motorway before. Even i am trying to get there but travelling from Durham on a Friday night after work is not easy.

as for the game the eejit who said none of our players would get in your team is deluded.

In Hodgson we have the second best full back in the Sl who really is a class player. Griffin and Crabtree are playing really well and Mason is like a man posessed. Wild is averaging 45 tackles a game and people like Finnigan, Kirmond and Lolesi give us a real punch in the second row. Moore is also relishing the role of getting our forwards around the park.


The key for me however is the referee. I am at a complete loss this season as to what the rules are. it appears the only thing they are bothered about is foul play and keeping the game moving.

2 weeks ago we were penalised to death at Cas ( but still won) last week thaler did not blow for anything. Bentham has never been my favourite ref and i have no idea how he is interpreting the rules / rfl guidelines this year.


If our pack get on top of yours then Tomkins will be doing a lot of defensive work which will blunt his attacking potential ( great prospect though. is there no butchers in Wigan who could slip him a few steaks though/). the other thing for me is hock which one will turn up the nutter who gives penalties and the ball away or the second row who punches holes in the defence.

I think it will be close but could go either way.

We are unbeaten in 7 away going back to last season and i do not feel that we have even hit our straps yet. When we do someone is going to cop it. Even against quins we so killed them in the forwards our backs hardly got anything to do offensively.

Still i am looking forward to a good game. It still might be on SKY yet which would knock our support down though.
