One off results dont mean anything. If we beat Leeds and Saints and you put that with our other 6 wins from 7 games that makes it 8 wins from 9 games. How many average/poor teams win 8 out of 9 games to start the season?

No new Leeds signings before Friday, as per the better looking Hetherington. viewtopic.php?f=17&t=450025

Correct but it would greatly satisfying to win all 3

one game at a time folks, one game at a time

I'm a little worried by Friday night against Leeds tbh. They're riddled with injuries(which is strange to see after they're hardly picked up even a cold in the past 3 or 4 years) and I think we've already shown an ability to get a little ahead of ourselves. If Wigan turn up with a lesser attitude then they would against a full strengh Leeds side we'll get burned! They have a far better side even with 7 or 8 injuries then Bradford and a side containing Brent Webb, Senior, McGuire, Burrow, Lauititi and Sinfield(who I expect to be back) are easily capable of taking us on and beating us(even if we do turn up mentally tbh).



I just want us to show a great attitude and keep playing with the same style and conviction that we have been doing. It's a huge game because if we can win it we'll not only be a huge 8 points clear of Leeds but we'll go to St Helens with little pressure on us to be fair.



I can't wait for all the games at the moment tbh and Friday should be a cracker.

No way Madge doesn't get them focussed on the Leeds game. As fans we can look ahead and speculate. As professionals they'll be devising tactics to take Leeds apart in training this week.

So that's one out of three in the bag. What's everyone's thoughts on the big one next week? I think if we stay focused early on and not try and lob the ball about from the get go - go up the middle and let the forwards lay the platform we'll be in good shape as we really do have the edge out wide. Hopefully ST will be fit as he needs to outperform to outstanding Kyle Eastmond. The mouth waters at this fixture. 5k+ Wiganers, Chance to go 4 points [If they win this weekend clear of Saints, last ever KR derby. I'm already excited and it's only Saturday!

I'm really concerned about injuries. I counted six walking wounded last night. The physio could be the most important man in the squad this week.

Yeah the injuries are a slight concern we could possibly be without - Phelps, Coley, Sam T, Riddell, McLlorum, plus Joel is on report. Although i'm pretty confident in the cover we have, we could definatley do with most of them being fit and ready for Saints.



I'm pleased with the way the Leeds game went in a way, it was quite a distance from a top performance but we still won pretty comfortabley without being able to get ahead of ourselves before the big derby game, plus we stiffened our defence up which was'nt looking brilliant against Cas and in spells in previous games. So hopefully we will come out all guns blazing next week and get the two points.



On the Wakefield game i think we could rest one or two players and still get a result with say Feka in for Coley/Fielden. Maybe give Sam a rest to and play Lockers at stand off and give Liam Farrell a bench spot with Mossopp starting. But anyways thats next week and we've still got Saints first which will be a huge game.

4 out of 4 possible points over easter. Surely we can back this up with a win against Salford? Even though they had an epic win against Huddersfield yesterday.

Fantastic results after reading through those posts, just shows how difficult we thought it would be.



I suggest we should create another thread:



Salford (A)

Sheff - CCup(A)

Quins (H)

Hudds (Murrayfield)



Win those and we really are motoring!
