Not sure about the other two matches. Heart says Wigan, but really it could go either way and it wouldn't be a surprise to see either win it by a margin.  Wakefield v Hull KR, think I'm leaning towards KR on that one...

Lets hope the Wig/Warr is a ding dong battle. Cant wait to watch it!

I actually think Wakefield will win, not just because I support them. Hope tonight's game is a belter

Should be a cracking match.  I've already cast-aside my dislike for the way the league is run (with the focus on the play-offs and Grand Final over the most consistent team throughout the whole season), and am well up for it!

Really looking forward to seeing the Smith/Green partnership develop in the halves.

Yeah league formats a joke and Wigan peaked too early last season, which was great for us helped to have your best player out injured too.

I'd be more confident about Wigan's chances if Hansen was fit. Glad he's missing now though, and not at the 'business-end' of the season.

Close first half, but think that the side that makes the fewest errors and gives away the fewest penalties will win.

Come on wazza! Dtd have not got it on they have this game with a round ball on!

[kinboshi]

Good game. Mistakes by both sides, and a draw probably the right result. Thought Warrington got the rub of the green from the officials, but these things are meant to even themselves out. At least Bentham didn't break his leg this time.

Thought the Ginger Pearl was excellent, as was O'Loughlin. Thoughtthe yyoungWWigan pack did well to stand up and out-muscle their pack at times.

Interesting my Facebook feed is Warrington bias and said different about the ref but I have not seen the game so I cannot comment! Will be watching the highlights later sounds like a good game!!

[craigbetts]

As a neutral, I thought the ref made one crucial bad decision in favour of each team. The rest were pretty even, some good calls real time and in my opinion Bentham had no bearing on the overall result. Fair result, Wigan pups played above expectations and played well, Wire look good for the league shield but will no doubt be beat by a rejuvenated Saints team in the grand final.

[kinboshi]

Wigan played according to expectations. Don't believe everything you read in the media.

With Hansen back, and when the halves start to click, Wigan could well be a force this season.

As for the ref's decisions, the one he made in their favour resulted in a try. I don't remember that being levelled out during the game. Did I miss something?

[BulldozerD]

I think Goulding got a penalty late on for being put into touch by a number of tacklers that was harsh on wire, then Matty smith kicked the DG.

Also think SO'L got away with a couple late on in the game where a penalty may have swung the momentum.

Good game though. Think Farrell and Goulding may be bolters for the England team.

Bentham called held, the tacklers are meant to stop pushing the player, but they continued to try and move him into touch. That's a penalty, and once Goulding put his foot into touch then the ref had to give the penalty.

Agree with some of Lockers stuff late on, but that was hardly in a try-scoring position.
