Will we beat the Bulls

[Paul Howard]

Don't worry John M, if you want some support in this, I'll run across the JJB in the nak too if we win on Sunday.

I am relitavely new to this message board although i have been active on others for a while. I do think there is to much negativity on this board there is no point crying over spilt milk! We will never get "stuffed" in a semi final as long as i live it is always a very competitive stage although i agree with others that the bulls pack may just prove to stong in the later stages of saturdays game. I hope i get to eat my words but i will go for a Bulls 28 Wigan 22 score line

I do think there is to much negativity on this board... We will never get "stuffed" in a semi final as long as i live it is always a very competitive stage

... we save the stuffings for finals instead. Don't forget the Grand Final in 2001, that can only be described as us getting 'stuffed'. And the Challenge Cup final against Sheffield was as bad.

Are people being negative or simply being realistic? Our team is missing most of our experienced players, with a bunch of kids barely out of school in their place. Performances have been unconvincing against poor teams, whilst our opposition are riding high in the table with most of their players expected to be fit. They've had the biggest pack for the last few years, whilst everyone admits our forwards are rather lightweight.

I would love us to win on Sunday, but I'm not holding my breath. I doubt the return of Ainscough will give us extra options in attack, he's too slow and his positional sense is lacking at times, whilst his defence is usually woeful so he's not going to make any difference. I'll be there, I'll cheer if we win, and applaud the lads off when they lose, but I'd rather be depressed then happily surprised rather than foolishly optimistic and then downheartened.

u gotta have faith in our team..
no matter who is wearing the jersey come sunday..

no one expects us to win so all we have to do is play!
anyway it is a double edged sword really! do we wanna win or do we wanna see john doing a lap of honour round the jjb?? LOL ...

i`m still looking forward to the game!
the time for whatever criticm we all have to be put on the back burner, & get behind our lads!!
that should be our course of action for the next two days!!!!

[John M]

Thanks for the support Paul! One half of me wants us to win and the other half is dreading us winning lol.

..and Nitsua,i never had you down as that type!

When me and Paul run across that pitch the Warbabes will be queing up LMAO!!

[Paul Howard]

Hey now theres a thought. I'm not too quick a runner when I've got my bits flying everywhere so theres every chance that a war-babe might be able to catch me. Too right I want us too win and I'll be one drunk lad on sunday if we do. But when me and John grace the JJB, I just hope it's a warm day ! I've been working abroad until a few weeks back so don't laugh at my tan lines !lol. When are we actually gonna do this ?

[gheinz]

I think that it will be a close game on sunday. On paper the Bulls look like they will kill us. After all the Bradford pack is a lot more powerful than ours and so far this season we have not performed well at all. However we have got some good talent in our side,and in my opinion Adrian Lam is one of the best play makers in the world. If we play as well as we all know we can then we have got a chance of edging them out. It will be close and far from easy. Hold on to your seats!

[MrsLam]

I think they've done well gettin to the semi's and although we didn't exactly play the hardest teams ever, we're still there n if we go out against bradford in a semi final that is being played by loadddddddddsa youngesters then ill be upset but still proud of em cause even when we've lost this season they've still put all their effort in and I kno being wiganers we expect to win all the time and we want to think every match is easy but its obviously not for them and i think our lads are doin well with all the pressure.......still i really hope we win
(sorry bout the bad typing, I started off wantin to type proper but ah well) i cant waaaaiit :>:>:>:>
sorry ill shut up now

[MrsLam]

oo yea and I cant wait to see you lads run across the pitch naked...ooo remember when jason robinson had tackle that naked guy at central park
