Another tough encounter against a team that is playing well at the moment. These games are always the toughest. Cuthbertson and Mullally due back this week and Moon will be back from illness.

Lets hope the recent record of neither team being able to win games away from home in games between the two sides continues on Friday.

Be nice to have some decisions to make when picking the 17 rather than just who is fit. One or two will be unlucky to miss out but the likes of Cuthbertson for example is a no brainer with regards to coming straight back in if he's fit.

no one's said they think this is a must win game yet?

don't tempt fate

Having won our last two games, I don’t see this one as a must win game.

Before we played Salford we had gone two games without a win, hence that was a must win game.

If we don’t get a win on Friday however, there will be some must win games coming up.

My own personal opinion is that it is much better beating one of your top four rivals than a team in the bottom 4 especially at home.
Be nice to have Cuthbertson back even though he won`t be match fit.

At the end of the first 23 rounds last season we sat in 2nd place with 8 defeats, that is not even quite winning 2/3rds of our games yet still sitting pretty. So far this season we have lost just 2 of our first 9 suggesting we are more than well on course to better last seasons points tally for the end of the 23 rounds. Add to that wins at 2 of our rivals Saints and Warrington.

Must win games are coming....late september early october.

you're right, if we loose its not the end of the world, but its always nice to put one over your main rivals especially when you are level on points with them, and its Wigan so always great to do them. plus Hull the week after and they are starting to get desperate for wins, and they surely are due to beat us in a league game for once, we have had them in our pocket pretty much both home and away for a few years now. so it would be a great boost to have to go there not under pressure of going there on the back of a loss.
