We should just be equally as hurting and keen to out Friday night behind us. We need to stop being the team others want to bounce back against.

Easy to say hard to do, from what I saw on Friday

Going to be a Lyn extremely tough game, no matter what the result would of been against Catalan. They have speed to burn on the edges and with Field at the back, we all know what he can do. Hopefully we can compete with better composure.

If the players are fit who have been out, I think that team is job on.

You've got 3 players (Crowther, Kelepi, Bowden) with no recent game time under their belt, I'd say 3 would be too many. Are they all ready to come in? What's Crowther's injury, he just 'disappeared' from the squad after Boxing Day, IIRC.

Crowther head knock against hull. Bowden moon boot after Leeds. Not sure with Kelepi

Just got back, to be honest, they didn't look anything special.

I'd need to take a closer look, but looks like Wigan could be copping a couple of bans, one for what looked like a squirrel grab, and the other, the late shot.

We do have issues though, as mentioned that need fixing.

The RFL have downgraded disciplinary issues this year to incorporate more fines and less bans, so knowing our luck both Wigan players will cop for a 50p fine

With us conceding five tries against Johnstone and Davies, we will need to be massively improved in attitude and enthusiasm otherwise same again with Field and French to nullify. If we don’t have team changes, it would be very odd.

Sort the edges out and work on kicks to finish sets and we will see improvement.

Murphy Langi Hall Taufua for this one maybe

I’m afraid there is.
Wigan will be hurting for one thing and Keen to put that one behind them, and they will be at home. Also, HKR look a decent side to me.
Then there’s us. We have one or two issues to sort out!

Wigan losing their opener will have them hurting and wanting to make amends.
Mind you, we should be feeling exactly the same.

Personally, I wouldn't change all that much but, if we have Hood available, he has to play and we have to find a way of coping with Field and French.
I think that our pack can at least match theirs and we need to get at Smith, he didn't seem to enjoy all of the attention that he was getting at KR and I hope that he keeps his boots on the wrong feet.
