Pre-match Quotes
With six tries in six appearances so far in 2023, Grace Banks previews this weekend’s knockout game at Robin Park Arena.
She gave her thoughts on the opposition: βIt was a very physical game against them last time, so I am expecting it to be the same this weekend. They pose a real threat on the edges but if we play like I know we can, Iβm hoping we will get the result. Iβm looking forward to the game, I look forward to any opportunity I have to put the Wigan shirt on.β
