Wire (A) : Sun Apr 09, 2023 1:45 pm  
Is too early to start previewing this one?

I can't help but feel Rugby League has got a bit of momentum this season with the standards seemingly up since round one, big crowds over Easter and two excellent games so far with the Wigan V Saints game followed by Catalans and Wire.

I've read a few posts suggesting the home ends are going to be sold out for our visit to the HJ. I'm hoping our fans can do their bit too and get that away end packed out.

Wire will have Dudson and possibly Philbin missing. We have lost Cooper to injury but will get Isa back from suspension.

How do we see this one playing out? Will Wire go 9 straight to start Super League 2023 or will we inflict their first reverse of the year?

The way Wire have been playing I had been fearing the worst but many of our fans were fearing the Leigh and Saints games. Those two results didn't turn out to be too bad!

The wire pack will be missing dudson, bullock, Harrison, Clark and possibly philbin. Coupled with makiele going home, we are going to be relying on Vaughan doing big minutes again. Can see Wigan pinching this one.

Re: Wire (A) : Sun Apr 09, 2023 2:32 pm  
No real pressure on us. We went in to this run of derbies in the sort of form that could easily have seen us lose all 3 but we’ve stepped it right up and won the first 2. I think we’re a chance of winning this one as well but it’ll be far from the end of the world if we don’t. Warrington are playing great but it’s a long season and as we learned again last year, the regular season doesn’t count for much of you then disappear in a play off semi.

As for the team, you’d imagine Isa for Cooper and then Mago (or Hill) for Singleton(if he’s banned).

Re: Wire (A) : Sun Apr 09, 2023 4:31 pm  
We'll have a dig but I think we can afford to look at this one as almost a free hit - winning 2 out of 3 prior to Leigh would definitely be more than I expected. With Field I'd have been confident but we'll have to get used to playing without him. Will be interesting to see how Shorrocks grows into the role.

It's funny that, my daughter said exactly the same about when Saints play Wire. There is a lot of respect between the two clubs, players, coaching staff and most of the fans. I bumped into Eamon McManus on Good Friday and congratulated Saints on their WCC win, he told me that he was pleasantly surprised, and humbled, how many Wigan supporters had said the same thing.

Pity the same can’t be said of Saints fans.

Anyways moving on not sure how to call this one, that game yesterday was brutal apart from the bell end that is Dudson and possible ban for Philbin we could be light on the bench. Will just have to wait and see the squad announcement to see how we look.

There is a lot of respect between Wigan and Saints fans will take it off Wigan fans but that lot?No chance

Reckon both sets of fans will be holding fire till the squads are announced on Wednesday, safe to say both teams will have some sore bodies this weekend and you never know what the disciplinary will come up with.
