Discuss York City Knights v Wigan Warriors here.

[MADREDNIGE]

Would have been great to have had a crowd for this one, away win. 

[spanishknight]

Knights will have to play better than they did against Toulouse,  Wigan by 38 points hope we don't get any injuries.

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Wigan should easily manage this without the need to take anyone out.

[TheYoungBaron]

The kneets will have a good first half and, sadly, be behind by 8 points. The end result will go to Wigan by 24 points. Hope I'm wrong tho.

Dear me.

[Wakefield Ram]

Noticed from disciplinary reports 3 separate late tackles from Wigan on the kicker. But anyway assuming Wigan put out a full team, then York 6 Wigan 50.

[moorside roughyed]

Wigan should win this no problem. But I'll still be shouting for York. As I always back the underdog.

I’d take that.

Trinity are obsessed with us. We get this every time we play against them - normally it’s Fifita having a sob about some teenager being rough with him.

All those years standing in a dump watching rubbish is bound to make one grumpy.

Depends on the team Wigan put out,but they should win by 20 points.

I also noticed that none of those tackles were deemed worthy of any disciplinary action.

However, please don't let that spoil your narrative, or prevent you from having a moan.

[Chris22]

Saw in the press today that Wigan will play a very strong team. Looking forward to watching this, but can't see beyond a big Wigan win. Would be a success for York to compete.

As others have said, a real sham that York don't have the opportunity to play this match with fans. What an occasion that would have been in their new stadium and a great opportunity too!

York by 145

I see your going for York re-writing their own and all time record of 132 points for, as the most points in a Challenge Cup game.

[wilsontown]

The Knights are a good and brave side, but I can't see them getting much against Wigan. Hopefully they can at least give them something to think about.

[Bleep1673]

Wigan 'A' Team

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Wigan by a country mile, to use an old term.

You've not seen their squad then.

[georgeb1]

York have at least 5 first choice forwards absent , clarkson , kirmond , teanby , baldwinson and brining , also no Jason bass or Riley dean , Wigan by at least 30 but York will put up a fight

[DEANO]

Wigan by at least 50. Can’t see York scoring

[Jill Halfpenny fan]

Wigan by as many as they want.

[RobertAM]

The imbalance may be similar to when York played our WP at BC back in 2017, we took it for granted and got turned over..hoping for the same result here. Even if the Kneets lose hope they send Wigan home applying liniment and sticking plaster to a multitude of cuts and bruises. All in the name of sport of course!
