Agree also. I should come on here more often, don't get sensible posts like this from Wire or Saints fans!

Well there is Ur answer wire or saints say no more

would be surprised if we pull this one off. wigan must have steam coming out of their ears in eagerness to get on that pitch and make up for recent defeats. I reckon this could be the game when someone picks on the big man mason. with his recent poor performances i feer mason may lose it and try out his boxing skills instead. SPARKS WILL FLY AS MASON TAKES THEM ALL ON!!

And the last three trips in particular have all followed the same pattern. Wigan build up a big lead (30-16, 18-0 and 14-0) - Rovers Rally (30-28, 18-16, 14-18) - but Wigan still win (36-28, 30-16, 38-18).

Should be an interesting match. I'm told to expect a big response from Wigan and for all those that said we had a poor game v Leeds - in truth if you watch the match again we ripped Leeds apart in the opening 15 minutes, it could have been a different story.

It's all in the start though. I think Rovers need to get Wigan into a position of chasing the game early. If Wigan get ahead then Paul Deacon's return should help us control the game because Rovers have the league's worst pack (statistically) and the least amount of runs from dummy half.

Actually Catalans were out on their feet (probably due to all the pitch length tries), hence the Wigan come back.

... and we'd have won if we still had Stan - a la '08!

A 2008 Phil Clarke player tracker .... Go on Stan!

Question is, who will be Wigan's coach? http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/rugby_league/13060584.stm

Yes we are the bottom of the pile in runs from dummy half, it tends not to be our style of play, but if you look at other stats where were are better than Wigan this season you will see a cause for optimism. We are better in the following areas

Meters
Carries
Tackles
Offloads
Attacking kicks (our game style)
Clean breaks
Kicks in general play

..................and we have missed less tackles than Wigan.

what, like he has everyone else???

I don't think your taking into account there that we've played a game less. Average them per games played and Wigan are better or similar to Rovers in most of those departments.
