Can't see anything other than a Warrington win personally. I think their pack is far stronger than ours, and Smith is a more tactically astute coach (although I wouldn't replace Wane he's still been very good so far).

Also recently we've been unable to beat Warrington.

No offence to Salford, but win or lose, this match is the yardstick for seeing where Wigan are this season.

"Journalists are meant to be neutral, for God's sake." - Stephen 'Wiggy' Jones

"Perhaps it would be better that future criticism of sports be made on the narrow basis of what is being discussed, without reference to other sports, unless those sports offer a solution to the problem in hand." - Brian 'Pigface' Moore

"What happens in rugby union? A player takes the ball, moves forward a little and gets tackled. A whole load of players then roll about on the ground. Pheep! The referee gives a penalty." - Simon Barnes

Can't see past a Wire win ether myself. Would need a combination of Wire playing below par and Wigan being on top of their game for it to go any other way.

Wigan are second favourites, but I think we'll give this a real go. We need to hang on at the start, move them around and use our back 5. If Wire play as well as they can, we'll be in trouble, but if they dip we need to take advantage.

Don't think it'll be a classic, whoever wins, will win by 3 tries

Hope for a big crowd and plenty of noise.

Wigan by a score and half.

Astute analysis from a Wigan fan:

Rumour going around Headingley that Wire will have to play the second half with 12 men.

It seems that they forgot to bring the half time oranges, and Solomona ate Chris Bridge instead.

Don't know why he was hungry, as he looked as though he had eaten the whole youth team before the game started.
