Not long now before arguably Wigans biggest game for many a year.

What type of game do we expect ?

Bennetts teams are well known to be very patient with the ball and look to force errors off the back of very steady rugby.

IMO it has the makings of a very tense, close contest with the odd mistake being the only opportunity to score

STG have the added motivation to "Do it for Wayne"

Forecast for Sunday night is dry, but will probably be a heavy pitch after rain in the afternoon

Realistically it is very hard to call

What you all think ?

That is true and i wish Mr B all the best. However Wigan can counter that with "Do it because Mr Wane has told us to"



To close to call and the only prediction i will make is that it is a good job i have booked Monday off.

I think I'm going to make myself ill at this rate!!



This is the biggest game we have had in years and my whole body is telling me so. One minute I'm giddily excited the next I'm terrified.

Whatever happens on sunday so long as we play the way we can then no one can ask for more.

Now can I go to bed please and wake up at 6pm on sunday??

if our defence is as sound as it has been we will be in a great possition to build on that, we can score trys from deep from anywhere on the park.

SGI will provide a huge test but im sure we will get the reet result.

It's going to be VERY difficult I think.

However, everyone of us on Sunday Afternoon should think back and remind themselves of the dark days of 2006 and how such a game like Sunday seemed 'pie in the sky' (pardon the pun), smile and then go out there and enjoy ourselves regardless of the result...!!

I had the privilege of watching Wigan train on Wednesday and if they play with the precision and intensity as they did in training then they will do very well indeed !

If the conditions are bad then I can see them squeezing the life out of us, they constantly put good kicks in backed up by great defence and then make no mistakes in attack. If conditions are good then I would love us to have a go at them, lets see if they can handle our running outwide, test their defence. We need to come out like we did in the GF and get an early lead. I hope we choose to kick off to them so we can smash them from the start! I expect the physicality of the game to be double what we see in super league and the PTB will be rapid, even so I would expect the scoreline to stay pretty low and I think the whole game will be about forwards and defence, one or two plays from a cheeky half back could change the game.

I expect us to be in the game going into the last 10 mins, we have never been well beaten under Maguire and I don't expect this to be any different.

It's just a joy approaching the weekend feeling giddy with excitement at the prospect of playing the best team in the world in one of the game's biggest finals, instead of approaching it terrified because we might lose another two valuable points to fellow cellar-dwellers Wakefield.

I still haven't got over that terrible half-season under Millward.

Agree with Cruncher I looking forward to a memorable game of rugby. I am sure our lads will do us proud regardless of the result.

Two tough defensive teams makes me think that this will be a low-scoring game. I'd be surprised if the total points scored goes past 25-26, especially if it rains as has been forecast

AND MAKE A LOT OF BLOODY NOISE SO THEM CONVICTS CAN'T HERE THEMSELVES THINK

COME ON WIGAN GIVE IT TO UM

caps lock of now still very excited though
