I will go for Wigan by 14 if Falloon plays and Wigan by 22 if he doesn't play. Wigan whilst not playing well are getting the wins. We were lucky to beat a pish poor Huddersfield.

It's a game between 2 teams who work hard and generally defend well.
Both teams lack any guile in unlocking even half decent teams who defend with energy.
I expect no more than 20 points in the game with less than 6 points between the two.

Personally I would rather face a Leeds team containing Handley than without him. I wouldn't be skriking that he isn't playing but would be thankful that he isn't available.

Tight game with Wigan just shading it by a couple of points

You have to be the worst Leeds fan ever. Constantly playing down the chances of the TREBLE winners citing you are the most injured team in the world and nobody else has ever had one. Who are you missing really. McGuire and a hooker. Make do like we have had to do. If you don't have the depth to cover your injuries who's fault is that? Shouldn't spend so much on these Aussies then you might have sufficient cover. We have some big injuries but because our replacements don't look out of place nobody mentions it. I guarantee Sky will big up the Leeds injury list on Friday but won't mention ours. If Leeds lose it's because we had a stronger side out. If Leeds win it's the mark of a true champion team and Wigan were full strength.

You guys really need to get that chip on your shoulder looked at, it seems to be growing!
I know you have injuries! did you even read my post?
I said I thought you were better suited to deal with the injuries because you play a very structure game and at least have your first choice 7 to guide your team around
Not really a radical statement is it?


Why do you even care what sky say? everyone knows they're just talking rubbish dont they?

Glad you are not feeling sorry for us , although i must admit its been a tough last dozen years for us and i for one am feeling a bit jaded myself . Still i will try and pick myself up for this one despite knowing there will be more important games to come .

You probably never even heard of Leeds before 2002 then. Your right you will have a lot of important games coming up, the battle to get in the top eight for starters.

I understand Wigan have injuries, but so far I have been impressed with how you've dealt with them, Tierney seems to have gradually improved and is at the very least solid. Mickey Mac is the big loss for you, has Powell been doing 80 at hooker?

In terms of Leeds, we've got Garbutt definitely back, plus Falloon and JJB more than likely. People point to Mcguire as the the big loss (he is) but Lilley and Sutty have had a few games together now and I have a feeling this is gonna be close anyway.

I actually think the combined loss of Moon and Handley is the biggest issue. Simply because of the amount of reshuffling we might end up with Watkins on the wing and Keinhorst and
Ferres or Walters in the centres.

Having said all that I'm still expecting a tight game with you lot edging it by 6-8 points.

No what you were doing is completely playing down your sides chances of beating us, making out it was Dewsbury we were playing so that if you win you can come back on here trolling about how under strength you were. I have heard of glass half empty but you are on the dregs!

Enjoy it while it lasts. Sport goes round in 10 year cycles generally. 10 years of success followed by 10 years of under achieving.

Thanks Rogues just been reading your attack on Gary Hetherington . Be careful he has a good legal team . Late 1960s actually so gone through the days when you were 2nd division as well as when you bought all the trophies .
