All at home? You don't seem to play away.

When have you got Leeds? I bet it's next week after the CC game between us and Leeds.

All the games in May are away, its the month where the work is done on the pitch. Yes its our doing but its still a hard month. Leeds twice could have a big baring on who finishes where come the end of the season.

When you play Leeds ?


Wigan must be the most fresh team in super league so IMO must be odds on favourites at this time to do the treble. Anything less must been seen as a failure.

That's a tough May to be fair but your so fresh it's unreal. It's been like a mini pre season friendlies so far with only one tough game in 5 week, players being rested left right and centre.

I knew you'd play Leeds after us.


We ain't got the players to soften them up. We might best them but we certainly won't soften them up with our pack. It's far to soft for that.

As you know its not all about wining week after week, just putting your self into a position where you can challenge at the end of the season. Injury's are a big part of anyone's season and keeping the team fresh with rotation is also a big part. Which is why SW went for a large squad this year as we struggled in the last month of the season. Jordan James is a prime example, not a starting player but good for a few games and covering injuries and more importantly does not take a chunk of the CC.

Obviously with them having the best coach in super league, the best players, the power to turn average players into world class, the best player in the world (SOL), current CC holders, current super league champions then surely anything less than the treble this year is failure.

I like what you've done there, but being the most fresh team in the league now is pointless, how many times have we blitzed through the league for our form to drop off at the important part of the season

Being fresh now will pay dividends come play offs. They have had opportunity to rest players for past 4/5 weeks and can do so again this week.
