Wigan put Feka on and try to gain the ascendancy through the forward momentum he brings. Many games are turned in their favour when they do this.
We need to deny them that lift by introducing two big go forward players who will not only be fresh and able to halt Feka but will also turn the tactic on it's head.
Blanch needs to stamp his authority on Ainscough who is the other talismanic inspiration to the Wigan team at the moment. His tries have made them competetive but his breaks and all round elusiveness raises the Wigan players.
Atkins has an opportunity to state his case as a Test centre against Gleeson, now is the time Ryan, step up!
It also comes down to who has the better home grown back rowers?
On paper, O'Loughlin, Tomkins & Hock look better than Ferguson, Snitch & Pitts (off the bench).
But the game's not played on paper and Wakefields kids have been the form back rows out of the two teams on show tomorrow.
Finaly it's the battle between the hookers and half backs and in this area Wakefield have a distinct edge.
Brough, Drew, Martin, Obst/Latu
Leuluai, Riddel, Tomkins, Mcllorum
