I'm more concerned about the ineffectivness of blokes like Clubb and Flower. The latter has done nothing since his infamous suspension and Clubb has no rep for being a hardcase.

Still ... this kind of trash talk is nothing new to Wigan. I'm sure they'll have more important stuff to discuss this week.

if there's any grubbiness its the Wakefield express rag,
I'm surprised they even managed talk to the players it never supports the club and is anti Trinity to the core, always looks for ways to run the club down and wouldn't surprise me if this another way,
its not even fit to wipe my arris with it,
only up to date news is births, birthdays and deaths all other is copy and paste of other sites

One of the Fafita brothers talking about people being grubs.

I’m done.

Ah come on. This is the way to build up games, bums on seats (ok, I know we havn't many seats). We need more of this talk, add a bit of spice to games instead of "hopefully we can get a result" type of garbage.

In fairness you’re correct. The games need all the hype they can generate at the minute and things like this are fair game.

What could’ve been a run of the mill game two weeks ago now looks very interesting for all sorts of reasons.

Not sure Batmans a second rower - I see him more as a SuperHero prop

In days gone by opposition teams would worry over the fact that Wigan had been beaten the week prior for fear of retribution. Wigan would then generally come out and muller the team next in line to get their season back on track.

I just don't get this feeling it happens anymore and that we will 'take it out on Wakefield' this evening. In fact the pessemist side of me thinks that they will take advantage of us in poor form and beat us tonight (as they have done heavily over the last two seasons there).

We've not scored a point for over 140 minutes where we were averaging a five tries a game all season (and looking good) prior to the Hull KR game.

With a few players out injured and suspended will we see a performance tonight with some levels of effort, creativity and excitement? I'm not sure.

Happy to be proven wrong though!

Why not bang Escare in at 7 from beginning and see what he can do

I asked for that! Damn autocorrect!

Had someone saying they saw a rumour he had been suspended by Wigan. Can't see that being true he seems a very dedicated pro to work his way back to Wigan from lower league takes some doing

We thought Joel Tomkins was

Penalty count is already a disgrace.

Most are correct but Clubb protesting at a wishbone tackle was a disgraceful decision. Is there one decent ref in superleague?

3 hours of play since we last scored. Unbelievable. Must be a record?

Not scored for over 3 hours !!

It's like waiting for Northern Rail

Wow finally.

Terry O’Connor called Hamlin a “powerful little player”

Great kick Powell, credit where its due

I thought Hamlins leg drive for his try was excessive. He keeps doing this weird thing of putting himself in position to take carries in and running at pace on to the ball when he gets chance to do so as well.

Find the floor man.
