I would have thought Roby would go at 7?

The Wilkin/Pryce combo seemed to work at Wakey but what position(s) do(es) that leave unfilled if the same was used for Leeds? I'm confused about the positions because this season everyone seems to be everywhere!

But Wakey were severely out muscled last week, it wont be the same against Leeds.

Three tough games in 8 days.

Sun 5 April - Leeds away Challenge Cup

Thurs 9 April - Wigan away Super League

Mon 13 April - Hull home Super League.

Injuries could be even more decisive.

Cheers

Ch.

who is the third tough game? Leeds and Hull, yes. We will stomp all over Wigan, even if we rest the senior players.

Go all out for the Leeds game.

Wigan away I'd send the young lads out who have played this season, Lomax, Wheeler etc, along with an experienced pack. I think this would be enough to see us through.

Hull at home we should win. Should not lose your home games.

have you learned nothing from hullkr? seriously though i agree the leeds game is the priority. The new playoff system means at this stage the cup should be our priority. Hull will have just played kr so will be tired as well.

There's no way we will win at Wigoon on the Thursday, it's just not realistic.

They have a bye so will no doubt be resting a lot of their players.

You think so? Barrow have recruited well and their chairman has made no secret of his desire to push for a superleague license mext time round. They are playing well (they lost on saturday though) and have nothing to loose against wigan. If noble rests a lot of players and they loose, he will be on his way, were as a cup run could keep him in a job, so he'll play his best avaliable team.

You can't compare beating semi pros by 30 to a bruising encounter at Leeds. Wigan will put at least 30 on them and could easily reach 50 or 60. The physicality of it might be high for the first 20, but they will tire quickly against the fitter SL cattle. We'll be literally smashed around the pitch for 80 minutes by Leeds.

I agree in principle but Wigan's fitness has been questionable. I wouldn't be surprised if barrow had rested key players on saturday ready for this weekend, its their cup final and have nothing to loose but everything to gain.
