Leeds (A) : Sat Jul 16, 2022 10:11 am  

So after last night's glorious performance our players are now in recovery ready for Leeds away on Thursday. Meanwhile Leeds are preparing for a tricky away match tonight in Toulouse with a forecast of 35-40 degree heat (so much so they've delayed kick off to the evening).

For Wigan fans I'd say Thursday's game can't come soon enough. It's usually a cracker of a game however the confidence running through the team, the short turnaround for Leeds and the energy sapping high temperatures 'should' see us come home with the win.

Can't wait!

They’re improving pretty rapidly and it’s never easy there. It’ll all come down to attitude, if we’re in the right place we should get the win but if you’re off, then they can use the advantages of Headingley and make it a rough night.

Presumably the team will be very similar to last night. I don’t think anyone is due back and there didn’t seem to be any issues. I’d again like a look at Halsall but it looks unlikely.

Leeds seem a bit decimated with injury, read an article yesterday and this is there projected team for today against Toulouse

Predicted Rhinos team: Myler, Fusitu’a, Martin, Simpson, Handley; Sutcliffe, Sinfield; Oledzki, Dwyer, Thompson, Gannon, Bentley, Smith. Subs: Johnson, Aydin, Donaldson, O'Connor

Any Leeds fans know if anyone is expected back for the Wigan game ?

I know Newman is back from suspension but not a clue on the rest.

Leeds fan in peace.

I would suspect the Leeds team will be s lot stronger on Thursday, I kind of get the feeling we purposely sent s weakened team to Toulouse.

I’d hope that Austin, Sezer, Leeming, Hardaker, Sutcliffe and Newman will al be back in the team.

Really looking forward to this one, you giys are playing some great Rugby and Smith has really turned our attack around and we’re playing som lovely stuff too.

Ultimately I think you guys will have a bit too much for us but I think we’ll have s good crack and it’s a while since weve been at home so atmosphere should be good!

Much as chris has said, we should have a few backs returning and i would hope both halfbacks, its the props that are the problem, what was already a weak area is missing tetevano, prior and holroyd.

French has every chance of beating his 7 against hull if your coach identifys Ash Handleys horrible habit of jamming in, for no reason, on already covered players, leaving his winger unmarked, lost count of how many try's he's costing us doing it.

Hope im wrong, but expect a wigan win by at least 2 scores.

Really looking forward to this one. I live in Leeds but haven’t been to Headingley since the new stands were built. Does anyone know if you can still get into the South stand from the scoreboard end?

Just ordered two tickets for the game and see that it’s collect only which means a fifty odd mile round trip to pick them up from Robin Park. I think this has been mentioned within a previous topic but is this collection thing now the norm, or is it just because I’ve left it relatively late in the day?

Do they not do what Leeds do? If you haven’t collected them by the day of the match they take them to the away ground snd you pick them up from there?
