i will be there  ticket purchased but i do expect this to be one too many games for us and the key players out. Wigan cant play bad against us twice. We didn't play too well against you in the first game, and we only lost by 1 point and a missed penalty. Without McGuire I think you'll need Burrow, Sinfield and the others who can create to be on the top of their game to give you a chance. Be interesting to see if Wigan use Roberts at all over the next two games (being optimistic and assuming we have two games to play!!). He was our most dangerous player offensively early in the season until he got injured. Not sure if Madge risks bringing him back into the side and dropping a forward from the squad or not. |

Lots of bad blood between the two teams is seems. A few articles popping up critising the Wigan players for berating Maguire on the floor when he had snapped his ACL and rolling about in agony. I don't think holding a player back who might score is cheating? its a pen and sinbinning offence and part of the game imo, so for the Wigan players and some others to call him a cheat and he somehow deserved the injury and slagging off he got on the pitch has unsettled Peakcock and a few others. Although tbf a Wigan player later apologised to McGuire when he knew the injury was a bad one. I think Phil Clark should watch what he says in future, coz he's fuked off alot of people. Article about this all here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/georgeriley/2010/09/an_action-packed_weekend_of_ru.htmlI expect a right ding dong match and the odd punch up. |

Also heard that thousands of Wigan fans have Phil Clarke face masks to wear tomorrow evening.
Funny thing is that there is loads of mutual respect between Wigan and Leeds. This animosity is a recent thing really.
As for what Clarke said, he's paid to comment and of course he's going to be biased towards Wigan. Leeds should look at their coach and the crap he spouts, such as defending Ablett's assault on Tomkins. He tried to say that it wasn't a foul challenge and Tomkins deserved/milked it. Maybe those in glass houses, etc.
All that aside. Tomorrow is going to be a cracking game, and I hope whoever wins it will go on to win the Grand Final.

bit off topic but has anyone watched the NRL playoffs this year - Wests Tigers v Sydney Roosters was the most incred finish to a game i have ever seen in my life and Gareth Ellis seems to be playing well. I'd recommend You-Tube-ing it
missed alot of the superleague playoff games this time round as i have been away and my sky+ went a bit funny whilst i was away, interested to see how Hudds get on

Stains are nothing without Cunningham. If Wigan get to the final, it'll make it all the more sweet if we go on to win it. Lots of ifs there  |

Great second half from Wigan, especially in defence.
Carmont was my man of the match, and Gleeson on the other side did well to sniff out anything going forward via Senior.
Looking forward to next weekend. Should be a corker.

Was just about to post this! It's on BBC sport! That is really sad. Despite his cheating, he was such a likeable player. Always a fans' favourite whichever club he was at. Really is sad news. Only 31, and he must have been in a very low place. |
