Wheres the guy who is ITK with team news etc? Was it Tinytim or something like that? Surely somebody must know the score regarding Roberts?

because he will be

Bring it on, if you try underhand cheap shots then the game could be very entertaining and the boot could well and truelly be on the other foot after 80 minutes compared to the game at murrayfield!!!!

Except in the case of O'Loughlin on Robinson the RFL didn't view it as an underhand cheap shot, and neither did the Huddersfield players after the incident. Their reaction said it all, they didn't react, just accepted it. It was late, but not too late, and Robinson turned his back to obscure the ball from view so O'Loughlin had no idea that the ball had gone when the tackle was made. Robinson does that often, but sometimes dummies and keeps hold of the ball. The only controversial thing was whether it was high. It was, but it was the shoulder that caught Robinson in the face, not the arms that pushed out afterwards. He wasn't going for a shoulder charge so the contact was deemed careless but accidental. It was pretty straightforward, but Nathan Brown just decided to have a mad outburst, seeing the incident as something that it categorically wasn't.

How late, high and careless does it have to be to be deemed dangerous?

Oooh, another so-called Giant talking tough.

We're really scared.

i think with wigan missing same hudds will win this one. look a very dangerous side this year.

With wigan having the injuries and 2 suspensions i cant see further than a giants win.Wigans bench looks poor.

Likely Wigan bench vs Hudds -

Mossop
Lima
Tuson
Finch/Mellor

Actual Hudds Bench vs Bradford -

Patrick
Lunt
Cording
Ferguson

Now go away.

Likely huddersfield bench
Gilmour, Griffin, Kirmond, Robinson

Now you go away,mossop tuson and mellor ,dont make me laugh.

Jog on you clown, the only thing making us laugh at the moment is watching your team get snotted at "Home" in front of not many fans, most of them boooooooooooooooooooing, you are in no position to take the pi*s out of anyone, keep your head down pal!

I agree Matty. With a stronger side on paper I’d have fancied us to put in another tired looking performance. I get the feeling after the Salford & Hull games that we are drained after the WCC. Emotionally & physically.

But I feel that the Tomkins bans might just inspire a ‘backs against the wall’ type of performance on Friday

Well we've seen you lose twice on the bounce at your rented ground this season.
Long may 'The Entertainers' carry on doing so for us!!

to be fair, I wouldnt fancy tangling with o Donnell, the lads crazy

Not looking forward to this game, we're seriously under strength against a very physical team. I can see us losing this one.

Compared with what - the Kangaroos bench?



Wigan's strength in depth is superb.

were down to the bare bones and its going to be tough. i cant see us coming away with a win , but here`s hoping . Win or lose we will be there giving it our all . fans and players alike.

I can see hudds winning comfortably tbh. I am not so worried with our forwards as i think we have enough there to still match any other team in the league but the combination of no real goal kicker to speak of, a hugely disrupted halfback combination, first choice fullback missing and inexperienced wide players will be too much for up to cope with. If i were a huddersfield fan i would be pretty confident considering how they are playing at the moment.

Don't dissagree with any of that, we are really up against it this weekend, but there's one thing as a life long Wigan fan that can not be underestimated, is the "Against all odds" mentality that seems to be instilled into the players these days, so nothing would surprise me less than us pulling off a win, we showed on Sunday the strength of character the side seems to have now.

But I do think there's too many of the first team missing, and added to this the amount of players probably going to be playing out of their natural position, it's going to be a tough night for us, but I see it being a great match.

See you all there.

Bookies reckon Huddersfield by 4. Surprised it's not more than that.

Hudds may win, and may win by more than 6, but it will be in no way 'Comfortable'. Our lads will scrap right til the end.

By comfortably i just mean with a few points to spare. I know all the players will be up for it.

I don't think Hudds will get away from us, there may be 8, points in it, 10 at the very most. It's not like our lads will tire near the end, as one thing they are is fit. Should be a cracking game, we have nothing to lose hopefully our young lads will give them hell.
