Tactics Vs Wigan : Thu Mar 28, 2013 2:26 pm  
So after the squad news... What tactics would you enforce and I don’t mean who plays where. I think we have a chance of winning if we do what Leeds did to us at LP. Force the mistakes, break up Wigan’s play, kick into touch, take the 2 points if on offer. Let’s not let Wigan get into the swing of things. The fowards are young at Wigan and they have a hot head in MM... Perry should be winding MM up and force him to lose his cool.

The wrong side of Billinge Hill.

- Wind McIlorum up
- Pepper Tomkins with kicks (not that he'll return any of them)
- Close Smith and Green down on the last, and not let them get their kicking games going
- Go out all guns blazing for a change, rather than get out-ethused! (if that's a word)

Kick early, play it in their half and instruct the forwards to play with a bit of mongrel. Wigan's forwards are young so if we pin them down and get into them they may crack.

Make it a forward battle, find a kicking game and play with the kind of aggression and intensity that Wigan usually manage to find for this kind of fixture but we don't.

"Close Smith etc down on the last" ....they will expect that, so close them down every time and look for the early kick ....and for gods sake be agressive. The fans will forgive anything but a lackluster approach and weak forwards. If they cannot get up for this game they never will!!!

Play very hard and rough them up , especially McIlorum who will snap, there a young pack so if we start to dominate them they wont have the platform for Smith to kill us with his kicking game.

If we can get some momentum we have a slight chance

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.

Re: Tactics Vs Wigan : Thu Mar 28, 2013 7:23 pm  
Get Howarth to start a fight with Mickey. Probably the most useful thing he could do to even up the sides.

:lol:


Obviously not a serious suggestion....

WIGAN

Re: Tactics Vs Wigan : Thu Mar 28, 2013 7:30 pm  
Play like Wire do against us! Win the forward battle and play the game in our half pinning Tomkins back in our 20 with a good kick chase. They're the only side that have regularly got on top of the Wigan pack in the past 3 or 4 seasons.

If Wigan even break even in the forwards battle we win the game IMO because Tomkins and the halfbacks will have too much quality against their makeshift opponents (although I still feel Lomax may play evening that up somewhat).
