I think if we could get a big game mentality on a final day, we could gear up and match Wire's power and perhaps win through - a bit like we used to do to Bradford after they'd shalacked us the week before (or indeed, the way Leeds did to us once). However, I think Wigan are too far ahead of us in game smarts. Wire may have the extra power to take it to them, but they're still a tougher call for us, I think.
Probably a fair call that. Although you were unlucky to lose at DW and had the game lasted another 5 minutes in Cardiff you'd have beaten them then i'm pretty sure. The game at Stobart personified what Wigan do best and backs up your point above.
Against us it's been strange. We've got too far ahead early doors but on both occasions the game was pretty much in the balance towards the end.
I think on your day, full squad to choose from, its anyone's guess as to who would prevail out the three should two of us get to the finals.
Be interesting to see how it all unfolds over the next couple of months.
