I hadn't thought about Broadbent being cup-tied. He's been good for them from what I've seen.
You can look at us missing Byrne and Isaac, but our squad strength goes much deeper than theirs, which should help us in what should be a tight game.
I'm looking forward to seeing Walters debit, but this is not the right time for it.
Who is Issac?
Isa typo

Me too, the number of times I’ve been going to Asia on a weekly basis amazes me!

one thing i've just noticed as i looked at the current 2024 stats (was posting about the albert goldthorpe) is that KR have 4 of the top 20 tacklers in their team (Batchelor, Litten, Minchella and Whitbread), so we are going to have to work damned hard to break them down and come out on top in this game. I know just tackles alone doesnt tell us everything i.e how dominant / which man in etc, but shows that they are prepared to graft and put it in for the team
i know none of us think its going to be easy, but if we can really wear them down like we did with Hudds last week, then hopefully the return to Wembley is on the cards

We should expect a real tussle, it is a semifinal after all. However, if we have done our homework and planned accordingly I see no reason why we will not be heading south on the M6 in three weeks time.

It would be fitting to win the Cup

years after our first triumph
#21. If we don’t it’s a failure. Wigan is expected to win. It’s what we do.
