We've put 3 wins together on the bounce after we got a few bodies back but today we potentially lost Tommy Leuluai to a jaw injury. I really hope it's not broken and wish him well.



Next up it's Castleford who lost narrowly to Saints and lost by 2 points at Hull. A win on Saturday puts us above them and I fancy us to go there are get a narrow win.



Luke Gale went off today and stayed off having failed a head test in the incident that got Liam Watts sent off and he'd be a big loss for Cas if he has to miss next week's game. Hope he's not hurt too badly.



Can't wait for this one!!

If he is fit he will be on the plane to Australia so he will miss the game either way.

No he won't , both Cas & Wigan players fly out 24 hrs later.

I certainly didn't think after the last Cas game that we'd be going there with a shot of going above them.



Tough game and again it looks like we'll be missing rafts of players but they'll give it a go.

I still think Cas will be above us after the next game. But I told my dad 4 weeks ago after he went on about how good they were. That come Easter they will get found out with the depth of the squad and faster grounds and start to struggle.



Given we have so many missing and 1 point adrift makes mockery of the quality in SL. Our fitness levels is far and away the best in SL league. We need bodies back and they will start to drip back in over the next few weeks just in time for Super 8's. And Wane has a headache who he drops.



As you said I never thought we would be 1 point behind Cas I did not think we would win the 3 Easter games none were a gimmie games.

It's not just our position that underlines this. How Leeds are in the top 2 and Saints in the top 8 defies understanding.

If it is concussion for Gale there is a protocol of think its either 5 or 7 days rest by rule so will be missing

It can be least seven days, depending on the severity of the injury and the quality of medical help available. It can take seven to ten days for symptoms to appear. It will depend on Gale showing any signs of concussion this week as to whether he will be passed to play. It's in the hands of the medics.



Of course he can tell the medics he is fine, if he is desperate to play. If he is sensible and if Cas care about their player, he won't.

Cas may not have a massive squad, but they are no one-man team. Indeed, their success so far this season has come from playing as a team, rather than individual pyrotechnics. We will do very well to get anything out of our trip there.

From listening on the radio yesterday we are more of a one man team. Sounded fully in control only when SOL was on the field?

Good point. He went off at 16-0 and the game should have been a stroll. When he came back on it was 'game on'. Our glut of late tries coincided with Lockers move to scrum half. He and George were particularly good together.

Quite what Wigan will do when Lockers does finally retire i really dont know,they are a different team when hes not on the pitch.
