Correct I prefer the regular troop.

Pies tend to attack with the left flank over the right...an admission they are pretty week with the right, having Bateman cover 3/4 can't be their best option.

That brings us right back to Ratty Muscle again, this could break him or be his finest hour...and half!

Wigan will attack that right flank of ours all night long.

Not sure Matty Russell has it in him to have one of those "finest hour" moments. I do know he has it in him to implode because it has happened before.

Be sure Wane will have them well up for this one, jet lag or no jet lag.

The best motivator in the league. It will be very tough.

It's never easy against Wigan unless you have sandow ripping them apart for the first 19 minutes.

I think we can expect a tough game, we will do alright defensively if we play like Friday but I don't think we are a team that scores enough points and we also have a very charitable side in gifting soft scores to the opposition. Worryingly Marshall was not played against the rabbits, I hope he wasn't rested to run in another 4 against us. Either a tight win for us or a comfortable win for Wigan, I doubt we will get to 20 points, apologies for the pessimism. I'm looking forward to it anyway, I always like the wigan matches.

And we will target Sarginson. He cost Wigan 2 tries at the weekend.

Pretty sure Marshall played against the Rabbitohs didn’t he? Or was that the Hull game I’m thinking of?

Tbh. I don't like it when Wigan has diversity.

Careful, the "pc brigade" will be after you speaking like that, apparently it's not allowed to put your own culture first these days.

Local pies for local gobs is my motto.

These days we have the likes of Morgan Escare. He probably likes to eat "Escargots de Bourgogne" and drinks "Cabernet Sauvignon".

What happened to a meat and potato pie barm with a pint of lager and a pack of Uncle Joe's for the way home.

You're quite right he did play I must have looked at the lineups when he was binned or something. He'll still score at least 2 if he plays Friday.

Pie fans on their board are saying they only ever attack with their left and that their right edge is usless. I'd be putting Lineham & Goodwin on the right edge to face up against Marshall. At least Lineham has some pace about him, he's got more chance of catching him than Russell does.
