We should have won this weekend looking at this weekends results its a big blow us not winning on fri and hopfully it wont cost us at round 27.

we need to put a good run together, starting this week, i think sam must play and if carmont isn't fit, does phelps move into centre and ainscough back on the wing? or bailey to centre?

Carmont should not play, if Bailey moves to centre ensuring no return for Ainscough then it would be a very sad day for Wign RLFC.

i agree, but knowing noble, anythings possible

A little dramatic, I don't think it would be too bad a move.

Having said that I would like to see Pryce given a little run at centre, although I am aware there will be many who wouldn't approve of this.

Pryce and Richards on the same flank should in theory be a dream target for the high ball. For me, it would be Carmont, J. Tomkins and Riddell out on Friday with Pryce, Hansen and S. Tomkins in. Ainscough for Roberts is a debatable switch as well I will admit but I personally wouldn't make that change.

In answer to the original question, a very big game in terms of the league table and will prove how mentally tough we are. Hopefully Wigan will not go into a slump because of the last result and recognise that they stilll have been doing pretty well over the last few weeks.

It'd be a right kick in the teeth for the young players at Wigan in all honesty. It's hard enough to break through for the lads as it is without them looking at a lad who's scored 17 trys in 10 games not even being picked as 2nd choice.

players wil be picked on merit, don't forget that

or whether its dry or not cos Sam can't play in the rain according to some on here.

hock will be hope for a real big game to show his new boss for next year .hope you have a good one gaz ,see you next year

Ban the little runt.

Major concern this Friday is the amount of knocks we took against HKR, i think we had 6 players who needed treatment in the blood bin.

So, Friday Wigan play well and loose. Sat Warrington dont play too well and Win... Mmmmm But your still miles better than us, all you need to do is turn up I guess. And of course your record at the HJ is outstanding. We will see....

From what i remember Hock went off with his leg i think Feka Nose Prescott Head large bump not sure who the one was that went of with blood streaming down his face and i think Roberts got a knock on his knee. Think the only ones that might not be ok are Hock and Roberts but would rest them both anyway for this game all the others should be OK

Hock went off with Blood covering half his face. Looked a nasty one.

Sorry thought he had done his leg so he was the one with all the blood i know Feka got kicked in the nose it did not look broken but he had to have cotton wool put up it to stem the flow of blood.

only joking have a laugh mate game on friday good luck hope it top game

McIlorum also went off needing stitches to a head wound.

Yep, cuts was the worst of it all round. Hock has a facial injury to left eye/cheekbone, looked real painful. Feca had a laceration to his gums above his front teeth that seems to be his biggest concern. The only other knock I saw was Phelps wearing an ice pack to his right elbow.

Weve completely blown top 4 now. Doesnt matter if we win or not on Friday as we should kick on and make the top 8 from here.

We can still make 4th and maybe higher i would hope CC final and 4th in league and if we are playing well at the end of the season who know we could make the GF. A lot can happen between now and the end of the season clubs do have bad runs 3 wins for us and 3 losses for Quins and we are 4th

Beat Wire, Beat Salford in league and cip and win at Celtic and we'll be around 5th/6th in the league and in the semi's of the cup with a great base to build from.

If we manage that we're a shot of the top 4 imo.

Massive game on Friday though.

Amen to that

How many head injuries was there on Friday?????

And how many penalties were given for head high tackles?????

I don't think any of them were from tackles. There were a couple of head clashes. Someone on the HKR site wondered if the use of blade boots was a cause.

I would have these boots banned with the blade studs.
