This game almost amounts to a free hit for us. Let's face it, no one is expecting anything other than a Wigan victory (including most of the faithful on here), so we can go out and give it our best shot.


The longer we can stay in the contest the more emboldened we will become and the greater our chances will become of pulling off a cup upset. It's making sure we don't simply get blown away in first forty minutes that's the key.


Ultimately, it's difficult not to conclude that Wigan possess too much firepower for us to contain them for long enough, but hopefully we will see a continuation of the attitude and commitment we've seen from everyone so far and we will make Wigan earn the victory if nothing else. 
Heart says cup upset for Saturday night viewing, head says a gallant performance in defeat to the best side in the game right now. Either way it's onward and forward for the Fc in 2025.

Fash had a good game last week when he came on and played prop. 

He did okay without much go forward … but still managed to give away that ridiculous penalty which lead to an Armstrong try. 

My concern is the amount of restarts and pens Kendall will conjure up against us.

Least we're used to it especially with him
