Re: Pies at home. : Thu Jul 18, 2024 5:01 pm  

I stuck my neck out last week and predicted that we might pull off a derby upset victory!!! Don't think I will be quite so bold on this one!!!

Obviously Wigan are the current benchmark team in British Rugby League, the best attacking side, the best defensive side, the best team to watch playing open expansive rugby, although the absence of their two star players blunts their excitement quota a little.

A win for us on Saturday will constitute the biggest miracle since Jesus fed the five thousand (and he managed that without having access to the craven park kebab vans!!). Anything below thirty points I'll take. Really hope we don't find ourselves back in the land of hammerings once more. Unless they pick up a couple of sin-bins through the game, think scoring may be a problem for us here.

Fingers crossed, we live in hope as always. Failing that, there is always the power of prayer to get us through the afternoon!!!

To even attempt to compare Dobbins to either of the teams in Origin is a total blasphemy. Wigan, our best team by far, wouldn’t compete.

You could go further. No individual NRL team would get within cooee of either SOO side. Those teams are literally the best of the best.

Reckon one of Sutcliffe or Carlos are our? Chamberlain in centre and Chan in. Litten did well at centre too tbf.

Can see Carlos missing out, had issues with his hammy all season and it's rarely just a 1 week thing with him
