The Southstand is lagging behind most Team Players atm. But that might change when Greg Eastwood comes!

Did anyone see his top on the field on Friday BTW?

It was huge and several kids had to pull it open!

Was it "Who's this Pratt?"

Given the way both teams performed last week id be surprised if theres more than 6 points seperating them at full time

I reckon this will be close. Incidentally, having seen the highlights now, Wakey's first try last week may have owed something to some slightly slack defending, but it was very nicely worked. The Leeds defence will need to be on the ball, and shipping one try away at Wigan suggests they didn't defend too badly either. Rhinos by 8 I think.

I agree it could be a tight game but there could have been a lot more points scored by either team. I think 4 or 5 tries were dissalowed altogether. It was also a high intensity game with Wigan making 326 tackles and Wakefield making 341 tackles. Compare this to the relatively easy game at Headingley where Leeds made 285 tackles and Celtic only 258 and you could say we are going in under done.
