Wigan - 12
Hudds -26
Both teams can be all over the place great 1 minute garbage the next though so who knows. Nathan Brown does seem to have got some consistency from them (not that that is something the coach can do apparently! ) and they are playing well, hence my prediction, very difficult to call in truth though.
Massive game for Brian Noble in my opinion. If we play well we can win it, but we will have to play well. Do not think we will get away with the performance we put in against them at the Galpharm next year and come away with the points.
Unofficially the most boring poster on Cherry and White.
The key is the long kicking game from us it has to be good(the best its been all season) because brett hodgson is one of the best positional full backs in the world so we've gotta made sure we find the gaps and have a good kick and chase to get good field position.
RICHARDS IS SUPERMAN!!!!

Probably our most challenging game yet (As most would have expected us to lose at Headingley anyway.)
It will show us if we can compete this season or if we are making up the numbers as I expect Huddersfield to be a contender this season.
The game all depends on how much field possession we can get and if we can get the ball out to Tomkins in space to create something.
We need to start trying new methods in attack as well. Against Leeds we just decided to 'give the ball to Hock' and hope it would work, it didn't. Against Salford however Wigan utilised the right wing more and used Tomkins well with Hock able to basically have a rest for a proper encounter.
Our problems lie in our defence on the right hand side however with Salford able to punch holes against us which is worrying considering they are cannon fodder this season.
Close game with Huddersfield taking it, there was nothing shown in the win over Salford that would make me feel that we can beat a hard working Huddersfield side. They have not lost away from home this season so far.

IF our line speed is good and we slide well, we will win. It really is that simple IMO. If we give them space at first receiver, they can ship the ball out wide where they have plenty of pace, drag players out of the line to create holes etc.
When we've got the ball we must attack. When they've got the ball we must attack even harder! Attack, attack, attack!
