Think Wigan drawing today will make them even more focused for next week.

Not a good result for us in that respect.

Wigan are there for the taking on Friday and i expect us to win.
Warrington will pose the bigger test for me as they look to get back on track which they will.

Looking at their players out (although we have 4 out) I think we should be winning on Friday.

Wigan on Friday should be a game we should have a very real chance of winning. However for some reason the weaker Wigan are the harder they become to beat for us. They have that dogged attitude and an 'Its them against the world attitude' which works very well for them on top of the skilled art of bending the rules as much as they can during a game. We need quick PTB's and to up the speed at which we've been playing as when we pick up the speed and intensity we are a very different team. Problem is Wigan are the perfect exponents of slowing the game down when they need to and getting away with it
Wigan seem to have our number as wins away at Wigan are a very rare thing indeed.

Watts, Talanoa and possibly Carlos and Turget?

i would expect Carlos to be out if he has rolled his ankle but Talanoa may be fit.
If Talanoa is fit i would play Michaels on the right wing with Fonua back into centre.
Should both Talanoa and Carlos be out then Michaels will stay on the left wing and Radford will play Connor at right centre.

True or Lancaster to wing and Fonua yo centre....either way,we have very good options and doesn't weaken our backs,just need to turn up with right attitude.Reading the Wigan forum,their pack was going backwards v Hudds.

Is Albert fit???? - he was carrying his arm quite badly after the game on Friday and was barely able to clap his hands during the after match walk around. Hope he is fit as he has been a revelation this season, to date.

Don't think he is, did notice he carrying his arm after we'd scored but sure Radford said he was taken off for no other reason along the lines of taking him out the firing line as he was being targeted and game was not likely to be lost
