Nervous????? : Sun Jul 17, 2011 4:07 pm  

The only thing im nervous about is Charnley's defence on Saturday. The last game at the DW the scored on our flanks. Thats the only way i think we will be un done.

Tactics from the pack should be hit hard and boss the pack.

Thoughts.

I know it was only Wakefield but Charnleys sides defence was better than Richards on Friday.

I will be in france all week so that will settle my nerves. I will be bad on the day though, normally settle down with a beer at the game getting caught up in the atmosphere. I am dreading it.

Yep. Charnley & Marsh were being targeted all night, and stayed solid all game.

Very but that's good. We have had a few games in these past few weeks were the nerves haven't really been there because you pretty much know the result.

This is a huge test but what a game it should be. I can't wait.

I'm very nervous, it just shows how much it means! A cup game between the two best sides in the league, you just can't beat it! I'm going to need a drink before the game that's for sure!

Very nervous. I don't normally get too nervous before games, then half an hour or so before it kicks in. This is the worst I've been for a long time!! I think its because its at their place is why, I'd be a bit more confident if it was at our place after the past few games there.

Let's be honest, we've only played well a few times in recent weeks, notably poor in others.
Whereas wire have been stronger over the past few games. For me being realistic it's a Wire win unless we bring our A game, cut out silly mistakes and attack them like we did against St George.

Wigan have proved this season that when they need to bring the A game out of the bag they can but for the majority of the time were happy to get through games whilst doing enough to get the wins whilst keeping energy in the tank.

I personally think it's a risky strategy because I don't believe you can keep turning form on like a tap but the recent wins against Saints and Huddersfield showed our class.

Hopefully we'll be on it from the first whistle on Saturday.
