Wigan

It's gonna be hard enough as it is, let alone playing with only 12

To be fair with our disciplinary record it won't be long until we're down to 12

Well getting ready to join my dad (Wigan Season Ticket Holder and pure bred pie in the Pie Dome this evening) for our annual jaunt. With players missing it is going to be a very tough ask, don't see any point in playing Kev Brown on a muddy surface with his serious ankle injury. Hope Ata and Patton get a shot at Half back. Wigan are missing several players. For us Tui has to play full back with Sarge/Burgess/Livett/Williams or Costello in the backs. We look well short in the forwards which may be an issue so the loan lads may play. Hope Marshall keeps this simple given the players we have missing and our players play their usual position with the exception of full back. Dont't think it will be a hammering but cannot see pass a comfortable Wigan win given our available players. Kicking will be crucial this evening.

Paul I watched Wigan last week conclusion,certainly not one of the best Wigan sides I have seen down the years.But they do have a bit of pace, I also thought Jacko was wasted at the back.

Anybody got the teams?

Penalty Penalty Penalty, we are our own worst enemy, aswell as sin binnings

Our squad was shot tonight, Pauli managed ten mins, he looked unwell, forget discipline some of these players have been unwell the past few weeks and it was clear. Thought Taylor and Ackers were huge, in the backs Sarge, Williams and Burgess tried hard. Kev Brown and Livett also had very good games. Without Tui at 6 we are clueless, Atkin is not a super league 6 or 7. How Patton cannot figure is beyond me after watching that game?? Thought Tui did well when he was able to attack. Given the adversity I will praise the effort tonight all day long. For me it is now on Marshall understanding his best halves, Brown/Tui or Patton/Tui, Ata seems to be an impact player at 9. Also thought Moose had his best game this year going forward. So no win but the effort was there which is pleasing and as always three yellow cards (2 for Salford) that did not need to happen but Childs was running the line and got involved. 

Just watched the supposed highlights brown at fault for first and livett for the second. Nice try by burgess. Not to dispondant and got some minutes in players who have been out long term
