No, if Wane keeps playing weaker teams in away games like he has done for the past two seasons on the assumption that it will be two certain points.

When I go to watch Wigan, I expect to see the strongest team available bar any injuries and/or suspensions, especially from this season onwards with the new fixture system and only a top four play off competition.

On team selections, I am critical of Wane.

Beware IL, the supporters are getting restless!

I said after the Hudds game last year that we'd win nowt, we won't this year either.
We are four quality players down from the GF last year at this moment in time and by the time we get two back it may well be too late, so no.
Still IL gets to live the dream!

Oddly we could still make the 4. I like the look of Saints thus far with their game plan already superior to ours. Wire you expect to do well. After that Cats I guess if they keep their best players fit.

I would not expect Wigan to win anything in 2015.

I think that we will, only because there are a lot of poor teams in this league! Change some selections, alter our style of play and get us on dry grounds then we will take some beating.........I know I'm asking for a lot!

Is this then not a season to re-build, or try out options?
Some suggestions like Williams and Hampshire in the halves, Dan at Fullback, Manfredi on the wing, Gildart in the centres, Josh in the centres, Greenwood with first team match time. Bateman and or Joel at Loose Foreward?

thing is i hear a lot of people spouting "its only 3 games in"

but why are we finding it so difficult to find form, we havent had any great shake ups in the team, saints have started the season without their first choice half back and managing to pull out wins, leeds look miles ahead of us at present. Even huddersfield who are below us in the league are playing better.

I think we may struggle to be honest, cats look strong this year and todd carney makes any team he plays in better

at the moment top 4 id go;

leeds
saints
wire
cats
