Watching Hull get hammered the other day reminded me so much of Wakey. Mistake after mistake and Wigan punishing every single one.

At the moment, Wigan seem the "hardest" SL side and they have some real magic in their squad.
From what I've seen, Powell at hooker is making very good progress. Not up there with Clarke (or Roby) but, improving rapidly.

Any bets on the mini tri-series over the next 3 rounds (13-15)?

Week 1: Wigan v Wakefield (St. Helens bye)
Week 2: Wigan v St. Helens (Wakefield bye)
Week 3: Wakefield v St. Helens

I think that we may scrape 3rd

I think that "bye" would beat us at the mo.

Thats very optimistic - especially for you....
I don't think we'll beat them by that many.

Wigan won’t go into a match with Wakefield with any complacency which won’t be good for us!

They know there could be a reaction from the Wakefield players in one of the next few fixtures, they’ll be wary of giving us any kind of confidence early in the game and will look to crush us in the first 20 minutes. They also have a couple of losses to us from around 3 years ago from which they still have a lot of players in the team who’d love nothing more than putting a big score on us.

Unfortunately I can see this being over by the half hour mark
Wigan 46 - 10

Is this your FT prediction or, after half an hour

It would be a big help if we take any early chances that come our way. Against Shudds I think it was Tupou and Kay who missed out early doors. Similar against Hull. Actually get an early lead. When did that last happen?

Salford away I think. Back in March.
