Expect a royal bumming, hope for any kind of win

Strong bench, think they have the beating of us in the centres. Pack needs to really step to have a chance.

Indeed. 7 degrees here in Wigan at least, and dry. Probably our least happy hunting ground, terrible record here. Big test for Lancaster.

On the plus side, a lot more pace in the backs.

Not a bad team that. Big difference from last week is that it's a big, strong bench.

Wigan will come out firing wanting to make amends for last week, if we can hang with them and be in it at half time then you never know. I'm not expecting a result, but I've seen us pick up less likely wins against much better teams.

Stronger team than expected, so please can we have none of this whining about the injury list if we get hammered again.

Nothing but a credible 80mins performance and a close scoreline is acceptable tonight.

Agree with that. Shaul, Sa, Lineham and Paea missing from first choice, 4 injuries is about what can be expected a few rounds in.

I think I actually prefer Rankin at full back to Shaul. He has more dimensions to his game.

Sounds like we've started as we finished last week

Not been in their half yet.
