the bookies have made the pie eaters the 2nd favorites to win the gf after saints so no pressure then with our injury hit squad i think the underdog title suits us better

According to Ladbrokes it goes Saints, Us, Pies, Huddersfield

Wigan should be made favorites as they finished top while we have had a inconsistent season and have 2 of our most influential players injured.

Wigan have had a wee bit of a wobble onfield lately, and blew a 14 point lead against us only last week...



Bookies predictions do not win matches....confidence, team spirit and ability do....and ths squad has that in bucketfulls.

not on the tinternet its saints wigan then us

you should be favourites playing at home, you the reigning champs with your strength in depth, as we keep getting told, a couple of injuries and its we are under dogs, load of rubbish.

you again

Yet people like you will happily write us off all season, say that we're crap and we're gonna win f*ck all.


Can't have it both ways, sunshine.

why dont you ever post on the cas forum?

It's another alias. If you all learnt to treat them like a problematic bee by ignoring them they'll buzz off.

As for favourites, it has nothing to do with us been defending champs. Bookies are in it to make money so will judge each team with the current market info. Lookig at all the evidence I'd place us third faves with the injuries etc. Not sure about saints tho been first. Then again the bookies don't always get it right just like the other weekend Ladbrooks offered me 100-1 that Hercules would beat Barca 2-0. I chose 1-0 at 50-1 and I'm regretting that

Handicap for Saturday's game is scr.

Tempted to place a few quid on Wigan - feels wrong, but if we lose I'd at least double my cash and if we win, I'm not going to care.

Is that really so wrong?

(An 80 min draw would probably serve me right I suppose)

you'll find a lot of folk do that including me. made a bit off warrington in the final to sooth my woes

I have no interest in favourite tag.

But Wigan can't be classed as favourites.

They haven't come away with the goods in the 2 biggest games they have had.

Both against Leeds.

They have yet to prove themself in this area.

This year they were the most consistent side in the league, but that doesn't win you Super League. It's a different comp now.

This fixture coming up is one where Wigan have failed to evolve from in recent few years.

So they will know the significance. They will feel the pressure.

They can be rattled, they can be got at. I think Leeds may have the edge, even when you consider the sidelined strike force we will have missing.

Im both shocked and stunned that there in no mention of TMFMISL in this post of yours!!

I have levels.

Without the first 2 names on the team sheet (Macguire & Peacock) I think this will be a game too far against a full strength Wigan.
But we live in hope

Who's at home? Who's rested? Who's won the last four play-off meeting's between the teams? Who are the reigning Champions?

FFS, Leeds fans are unbelievable at times. Fortunately the squad and the coaching staff are unlikely to share your collective pessimism, that's if they can be bothered to show up after reading this thread.

Or you could look at it as:

Who has been the most consistant team his year?

Who has played the best rugby this year?

Who has lost twice to HKR this year?

Who just demolished HKR?

Who has lost the pack leader?

Who has lost their player of the year?

Dispite the above I think we will do it. But I can forgive the doubters as there are some big factors that do warrant a bit of doubt.

I'd look at the fact Wigan will win, your already putting excuses down I can't wait to read them after the game, there will be slot of IFS

Ahhh genius - how did we miss that fact

Well, irrespective of whatever else happens during the game I will quite publicly state now that, if Wigan win it, it will be because they scored more points than us. However, if we do win, we will have without any question of doubt, have scored more points than them to do so!

Is it me, or have you joined this forum today specifically to come and write this stuff on another team's board? Isn't it a bit early to be that drunk?

I don't know where to start with that one, so I'm not even gonna bother.

Anyone using Hull KR as a yardstick for anything doesn't really deserve a reply.

It was meant to say alot of IFS but nevermind, not drunk no, voicing an opinion yes! Not to your liking as your Leeds fans clearly but it's a folder stating Wigan favourites so I commented because I agree they should be favourites

But you just did, didn't you?
