David Waite? Think I read a quote of his to that effect on the changing room door in St Pats, but whoever put it there seemed to have misunderstood it because he wrote in big black marker pen next to it "So in other words you can't defend if you can't tackle!" When really the quote was saying that although obviously if you can't tackle you'll be a weak link, you defend as a team not as a player. A very relevant point to those who were booing Tim Smith and cheering on Darrell Goulding.

Quins play well as a team very much in the same way that Wakefield do and we struggled bigtime against them so i can't say i'm overly confident. I do have afeeling though that our players will want to prove a point to a few people so it should be a tight tussle.
I don't think theres any doubt Wigan have the better group of players but the same could be said of us against Wakey, Hull and Cas yet we lost all 3. It doesn't matter how good your team looks on paper if they don't play as a team.
Our lads need to get their heads down and work hard for each other.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!
