No we wouldn't. Bradford were crap beyond belief. Don't get caught up in this mentality of "Ooh we've won one against a half decent side, we must be world beaters"
Back to earth with a big bump if were not careful.

I've not said that. Yes, as acknowledged earlier, Bradford were appalling. But lets give credit to (I sound like Ray French, don't I) to a good Wigan side who were tight, played good rugby, threw some good passes out and had plenty go forward.

Thats exactly why i could not predict what is going to happen tonight. My rugby brain thinks we will loose by a good way but i just hope my rugby brain is talking crap !
We played some excited skillful rugby last week but like you said against a team that anybody would have beat.
Roll on 8pm !

With the amount of field position we had last week compared to them, I think we would have beaten anyone last week - but that doesn't make us world-beaters.
The question is whether we can make the hard yards against the Leeds pack tonight. I think we can, and if we get the field position, we'll score points. But the kicking game from Leeds will be much, much better than Bradford's and I'm a bit worried about our defence close to the line.
We did everything asked of us last week. We need to do everything asked of us again tonight. Whilst it's true Bradford were poor, Wigan could do nothing about that. We didn't win with dour rugby but free-flowing, expansive rugby. Tonight won't afford us the same opportunities so it all comes down to attitude and will to win. Hopefully that's what we'll be taking from last week's game. A winable game without doubt as previous encounters show but, as ever, it depends which team turns up!

That's a sensible assessment. I'm just hoping that Wigan aren't too quick to assume that they did it all themselves last week.
However, they still made many more chances for themselves than they have in previous weeks. I'm hopeful if not exactly optimistic.
