He's guessing I think.

Pity in some ways - I'd have enjoyed Bentley and Bateman going blow for blow.
Though Gannon's a player you feel will thrive on extra game time. No need for protection with that one..

I can't imagine we would agree to play Sunday when we have Catalan on Thursday. Saturday would be possible but probably too short notice to arrange.

Rugby League doesn’t stop for a bit of wind and rain, Friday’s match will be on

Think game will go ahead unless waterlogged pitch (won’t happen as a football pitch with good systems). I really wouldn’t advice folk to travel though….radio is actually quite fun

It did against Huddersfield two years ago



Anyway Ill be travelling over

Some of us have moved on to TVs.

Tell Shabbsy that switch on the wall might give him more light than the candles he uses.

It’s going to be wet and windy but the worst of this storm is to hit the South of England and South Wales. It should be as fine to travel from Leeds to Wigan as it would on any other wet and windy Friday night, granted it’s not for some people.

Have you not heard the queen song. But then I was old when you all were young……

Sounds like mylers going to be out for a while unfortunately

Yeah, popped his groin is my bet. Looks like Helen is going to be playing with the kids and looking after the newborn for a bit yet…

Are we 1 injury away from the return of Sutty to the halves?

No. Leeming would go there and Johnson/Dwyer at 9.

Oledzki for O’Connor/Johnson if fit.

28 Max Simpson
29 Liam Tindall
3 Harry Newman
8 Mikolaj Oledzki 

Newman isnt in the training video on twitter so id expect he isn’t fit to play.

Oledski is though

Safe travels for anyone braving the trip tonight

Yeah, as I’ve said just not worth the risk as needs 6-8 w after even a small tweak.
Look what happened to Jai Field and Bevan French last season. Both ripped the hamstrings and out for season.

Seconded. It has gotten really vicious here in the last hour or so and have just driven home with the streets strewn with tree branches and quite a lot of roofing slates/tiles and other debris. Fortunately for the match, the wind will be more in Leeds than Wigan so game should be on as long as the pitch is ok, We had a deluge of rain overnight.

Think ill just set off now give myself plenty of time, M62 will be fun!

I think were in the worst of it now hopefully will have died down in a few hours

Severe weather warnings . Essential travels only advised, yet people still going over for a an early season game with half the team out.
Sensible?

Half the team out?

You’re a right barrel of laughs aren’t you shabs.

Yes I’m going over.

Go and enjoy it mate. I’m just saying the met office is or concerned about this storm and they’re normally pretty spot on.
Watching a game is not essential travel!

Half the team? Who are these players?

We must have half a team out too then
