Thank god for that, I thought his leg had actually died.

Happened to me that, it aint ideal.

[url=http://www.wiganwarriors.com/WMatchP.aspx?page=preview&id=16192119 Man Squads here[/url Who do you will think will miss out from yours? Still looks like a very strong Leeds team, should be a cracking match,

our 17 will probably be:

Phelps
Roberts
Gleeson
Carmont
Richards
Tomkins
Leuluai
Fielden
Riddell
Coley
Hansen
Joel
O'Loughlin

Mossop
Prescott
O'Carroll
Bailey

Peacock but Ablett and Beastwoods absence has hit hard as has missing Scotty.
The biggest thing is the confidence and fluency and then we were losing players every week but the squad looks stronger than many expected so hopefully we'll have a good dig at it.

Well I’m ‘in the know’ and have it on very good authority that we’ll have a fully fit squad plus Lee Smith, Henry Fa'afili and Lesley Vainikolo come Friday night.

i dont think this game is anyway near the foregone conclusion that alot of leeds fans have predicted on the threads ive read this week. That 19 is a strong team. I think we will edge you by 6-8 points but its gonna be one hell of an arm wrestle. Leeds wont want to be 8 points adrift of us after friday and i feel you will be fired up to hell and determined. Cant wait. Its gonna be a cracker !!!!

If everyone named in the 19 is fit i would expect Ambler and Bush or Coady to miss out.
Last week though i think 4 players named in the 19 were unfit when the team was announced.

Bailey was ill. So 3, hall beds and sir kev!

As i stated in a previous thread, the game will be closer than some think especially now with a strong 17. play coady on the wing as he is a more aggressive defender rather than bush. contrary to what other fans think of sinfield his return is a massive boost and i predict a win by 1 -4 points

How do you know we are going to have a strong 17? I would have said last week we had a strong 17 before the team was announced b4 kick off - it then turned out to be the weakest since Cas a year or 2 ago.

Sinfield still may not play.

Hall is 50/50

Buderus is 50/50

Kylie was reported on here to have taken a knock too. They might be keeping quiet about that one like the Buderus/Hall injuries which were kept quite by Bluey and Co.

The only certainty is Bailey.

I hope all the above are fit, but there is still a chance last weeks squad may appear again - minus JP and pos Kylie.

Don't mean to worry anyone further but Delaney pulled out of training yesterday complaining of an problem with his leg - unfortunately this is all i know so don't know the extent of this.

If anyone knows more, would be reassuring to hear it was nothing and is now fine after a good sleep ....



IF Delaney isn't fit, i'd expect something resembling this team to walk out on friday (I'm hoping Kylie is fit Neil!)

Webb
Bush
Senior
Coady
Hall
McGuire
Burrow
Leuluai
Buderus
Pitts
Kirke
Lauititi
JJB

Burgess
Diskin
Ambler
Bailey

Excellent news Dave! Just what we wanted to hear



Hopefully it was just precaution. With the current state of injuries anyone that feels a muscle tighten up or twitch in training should be urged to go home and watch loose women, but ffs Brett your taking it a bit too far now!!

Yeh hope you're right.

Coady or Bush to miss out then..

part of me wanted a full strength leeds team for this game so we can truely gage how far we have come and whether we are genuine contenders this year. But part of me is glad as if we manage a victory 8 points is alot to make up. If bailey is the only returning player i will be quietly confident. Sinfield returning is the one i would worry about. Although he wont be match sharp he is very good organiser and brings a calmness to your team. Its been an intriguing week for the build up. Hope the game lives up to it. Wigan to edge it last 20.

don't worry I'm sure you will get to play Leeds later in the season, then you will get a better gage of how far you have come!

Are you coming over tomorrow? If so what time?

we are leaving about 4ish?

If that is true that is a big blow.

According to Twitter on the rhinos page

Thought the sickness was McGuire?

Cheers. Do we have a team left to play?

We will find out shortly

My Bad!, Dodgy Source!, Maybe McGuire Passed Himself Fit Because We Were So Short On Numbers.
