Mine too .... that Thaler hates Leeds, as the solitary loss away to Wigan in '07 clearly demonstrates.

If I was a wire I'd be worried by that stat. When Thaler retires we should hire him as our mascot.

Thaler's career has a way to go yet so it's probably best to wait a while before replacing Ronnie.

Leeds won 19 of the first 21 games Richard Silverwood took charge of. That hasn't prevented them losing 7 of the next 8 and also 3 of the last 4 with him in charge.

Quite the pantomime villain isnt he?

He attempts to hide his hatred by letting Leeds win.

Keep it up Ben

(ooooh er)

Sorry Leicester, but that's just silly. Pitts had a bad game last Friday, but he is far superior to Diskin in the second row, as is Clarkson. Diskin is an hooker, and a hooker only.

Personally I think the picking of Diskin in the 17 is more justified these coming weeks than previous due to having lack of options at half back. If Sinfield or McGuire go down, at least with the two hookers Buderus can swith to scrum half if needed.

But I would still start Diskin if we are going that way.

Lets hope Thaler doesn't read this thread then and start to reverse the trend.

Even worse,lets hope Tony Smith doesn't send a dosier to Stuart Cummings ala Craig Bellamy pointing out how biased Thaler appears to be to the Rhinos

Did it on purpose to catch out the lazy barstewards

Atleast Wigan have got a past!

Nazi Germany has a past son, doesn't make it clever.

They have a few.

Seeing as we murdered most of them.

Poor banter

The term is Shanter

Looking forward to this both teams have key players out so its pretty even injury wise, only seen one Leeds game this season which was the CC against Hull where you looked back on track but then didn't seem to build on it.

Massive blow for us.

I don't quite fancy our chances as much anymore.

Mcguire is out with a dodgy hamstring.

Just when we thought the savage injury toll this year was begining to improve.



I guess Webb to 7 and Smith to full back....but who then on the right wing ? Is Coady up to it at this level ?

I wouldn't worry to much, I'm prone to lying.

Monaghans out.. game over.
It was going to be a corker, what worries me is that we (wire) are only lining up with 2 out and out props in the 17. Morley and Wood are beasts and we've got away with it in recent weeks but it will take a monumental effort

So you're a one man team?

No, its just without Myler and Monas, we have lost 2 of our key go-to men which most of our play comes through.

Scoring points will be an issue now, unless Briers has a very good game.

Have heard that Burgess won't be playing tonight (Don't know if injured or dropped) - So that would see Clarkson feature and play at LF

Likely to lineup as follows then IWI...

Webb
Smith
Delaney
Senior
Hall
McGurie
Sinfield
Leuluai
Buderus
JP
JJB
Ablett
Clarkson

Diskin
Kirke
Bailey
Beastwood

Losing our key 7 and 9 players is a massive blow.

With Myler out if everyone stepped up mainly Briers and Mona's then we could of had a chance but now hes out our attcking idea's will fall all onto Briers and if Leeds shut him out its good night as I don't see anyone else to stepping up to get the ball out to our backs.

Leeds by 12

i cant see wire winning without 2 of our 3 main players but it will still be close

Webb

Smith
Delaney
Senior
Hall

Sinfield
McGuire

Leulaui
Buderus
Peacock

JJB
Kirke
Ablett

Diskin
