On paper I think our squads are pretty evenly match, but Wigans backs are considerably better. Roberts and Riddell aren't proving to be very worthwhile signings as of yet, but that comment may come back to bite me on the bum. Also it will be interesting to see if Tomkins gets a chance over Tim Smith.

Sorry but Feka's not a worry he spent a total of 26 minutes on the pitch against Harlequins.

It doesn't mean he's not a worry, it just means there's only 26 minutes of worry.

If we can't look after him for such a short time it's a worry.

Yeah, agreed. Wigan consider him to be an impact player, but you can't make that much of an impact in 26 minutes.

I think we have a decent chance, but their bench and feka in particular did cause us problems after 20min in last years playoff defeat IIRC. You're right about acting half though, a lack of pace there could help us. I just hope not too many of our previous injury doubts are carrying too many knocks into the game.

Anyone remember that few minutes of Impact that Paul Anderson had when we played the Wire in - I think it was a CC semi? - a few years ago? Briers is probably still smarting from it.



I'd not underestimate the potential for a few minutes of impact - although we have a few of our own who should be able to ruin Feka's day given half a chance.

Feka isn't fit o lace Anderson boots in his Bradford days.

Few are. Doesn't stop them being a potential menace, though?

I don't think he is a much as a menace as people make out.

No, I think Vagana was more.

Yes, at Headingley IIRC.
