I think Huddersfield have got a better chance of victory tomorrow against Warrington than Hull KR have tonight. Hull KR were great last week, but the intensity of that derby was huge and I'm not sure they can go again to that level. Plus Wigan will be hugely determined after last week's disappointment. It's not often they lose twice on the bounce. I suppose we'll soon see. Either way, I expect both Wigan and Warrington to progress.

Although Wigan and Leeds wasn't a derby game it was just as intense and as tiring. The goons home crowd will be baying for penalties all night. Just hope the ref can stop Tomkins clamping. Wigan have lost more at home than away this season. If HKR play their cards right and keep cool heads they have an excellent chance of turning the goons over.

I agree. Add to this their loss of Deacon, so the reshuffling has had to happen with maybe a not very fit Amos at fullback, and Wigan are not the certs they looked like prior to the Leeds game (which I have to say was a very good game to watch).

According to the Wigan coach they have been playing for the last few weeks with between 7 - 10 first team players missing although they are getting some back now. I can't think of a game were they have had that many 1st teamers missing. In fact some of their first teamers have been playing in the under 20's for weeks.

He's just trying to cover up the cracks and smooth their way to losing tonight! They've had more injuries than Wire but nothing like the problems we have had.

Wigan are a spent force, They got to the top by early season fitness. Now all the teams still in this are just as fit, and Wigan are being shown up to be what they are - a decent top six team that are now getting tired. ANy of the teams still in can easily beat Wigan if they put their minds to it.

I guess they just couldn't be bothered to put their minds to it then
