There’s always something that’s dodgy that rears it’s ugly head at Wigan now and then, they are not as squeaky clean as them and the grovelling pundits make them out to be, makes the well known “Wigan way” comment a bit of a farce

Got to agree with this. With the Kevin Locke Tim Smith issue it was dealt with by the club as quickly as possible, yet in the Tomkins case it appeared Wigan were willing to sweep it under the carpet until the video was out social media this weekend. Going by the comments of the bar owner, Wigan were clearly aware of this some weeks ago but Radlinski makes out he saw it for the first time this weekend!

Looking forward to this one and hoping that Wigan are in some disarray after their cup exit and subsequent "troubles".
If we can match them up front and control the ball, this could be a "bonus" 2 points.

Come on Trin !

On the other hand they could really be 'up for it' after two defeats and bad publicity.

I suppose that all boils down to whatever the issues are - as people say this could be good for us or not so good.

However imho we are more than capable of competing and possibly beating a full strength and motivated Wigan if we play to our potential so no excuses as far as I’m concerned.

That's what I expect - a fully motivated (aka Grubby) Wigan turning up to try and literally wrestle two points away from Wakefield. Wane will probably have them tearing raw meat off the carcass in the dressing room beforehand.

As Vastman says, if we play to our best we've shown in the past few seasons that we are more than capable of doing them over, and lets hope we see it again.

Looking forward to it.

They're definitely in a bad place at the moment - what with the disruption of Wane's announcement, the golden boy departing, and weeks of stress involved in covering up that rotten incident in a local pub; but they're still Wigan - so they could just as easily get in the trenches and give us a drubbing.

I'd love to be wrong - but to turn them over, we'll have to be good - and we haven't been lately.

We have had a weeks rest and hopefully (so far) some decent training sessions, Bren2k is right they're still Wigan and 2 players as key as they are won't make as much difference as some would think.

Will be a close one in my eyes but I can see a Trinity win providing the right Trinity show up.

Who are the 2 key players? Joel has been ineffective for a few seasons now and is a penalty machine!

Sam will play I imagine.
