Interesting one this, we’ve got a hell of a lot of players out, a full team perhaps, but the lads are coming off a grinding win v Huddersfield.

Likely that Walker, Hurrell, Handley, Gale, Oledzki, Mellor, L Sutcliffe, Smith, A Sutcliffe, Broadbent miss the game, Martin and Prior return, with all loanees called back (Edwards, Tindall, Hall)

Don't think we'll have to worry about facing Willie Isa....

Shorrocks late with an elbow too yet stays on!

Not sure we have too much to worry about facing any of them, they look very poor at the moment

Hope you're right , but I'm not convinced that we have nothing much to worry about on Wednesday.Wigan will be busting a gut to right tonight's wrongs.Leeds are currently broken, scrambling to get a decent squad together.Dwyer played from his sick bed we are down to the bare bones and the young guns such as levi and cory hall just don't have the physical development just yet.Although Wigan have a blunted attack Leeds have a canny knack of not being able to defend any sort of lead.A case of blunted attack verses a leaky defence who's likely to come out on top?

The match review panel could be pulling an all-nighter... Isa on a load of charges, Bateman possibly charges for abusing ref/disputing ref's decision, Shorrocks elbow, Hastings for the high-shot on Coote. It makes you wonder if Wigan will be as down to the bare bones as us on Wednesday...

Walmsley's cut head looked to be from a swinging arm while he was already tackled too.
Think we will struggle unless we have a few returning but Wigan do look poor atm.

We’ll get bullied next week. They are a poor side, but you just know they’ll beat us. Apart from Isa (surely they daren’t not ban him), Wigan won’t have anymore missing.

Wigan should really be missing Isa, Bateman, Hastings, Shorrocks, Smith. But I doubt it’ll come to that.

Massive game this one to help secure our play off spot. Presuming Prior is back and Cam Smith isn’t? Expecting this to be a physical one, I’d start the game with as much size and muscle out there as we can.

I’m getting late 2007-9 vibes, there was a period of time then when Wigan would bend over against saints but play like it was literally life or death against us. Nobby was coach.

As good a side as we could put out that, and I agree Martin at centre. Maybe switch Tetevano and prior around, but I’d go with that. Looking forward to seeing Gannon go at the young Wigan lads.

Surely Isa must be banned for the rest of the season for at least 2 maybe 3 of those assaults.
He`s as hard as nails but thick as a brick that guy.
By rights Bateman and Shorrocks too.
I reckon Hastings will get a warning.
Difficult to call but will help if Prior is back that`s for sure.

Nothing to worry about guys. I have been supporting Wigan for 60 years and can honestly say that this is the worst team I have seen in all that time. Your boys just need to turn up on Wednesday. Anyway - I suspect that it will be like a home game for you as you will probably outnumber the Wigan fans. I will probably go for a curry!

Bateman also put hands on the ref in order to get to the player melly in the 49th minuute just before he was sin binned for dissent.But I'm sure the disciplinary will ignore it.

Broadbent, Smith and Prior in contention for Wednesday v Wigan!

Hmm what about the Wigan team that was relegated ?

What’s the problem(s) YW? Playing roster/coach/club management?

How is Cameron Smith in the running if he had Covid and cannot return within 17 days? Have the rules changed or was that never the actual rule?

if your doublej jabbed they have changed

Leeds: Briscoe, Newman, Handley, Lui, Leeming, Prior, Martin, Tetevano, Dwyer, Myler, Smith, Holroyd, Vuniyayawa, Thompson, Walters, Mclelland, Briscoe, O’Connor, Broadbent, Gannon.

Wigan: Hardaker, Gildart, Marshall, Field, Singleton, Bullock, Farrell, Bateman, Partington, Smithies, Byrne, Smith, Havard, Bibby, Clark, Shorrocks, Pearce-Paul, Hastings, Bourouh.

Ash Handley yet another curious selection in the 21 when injured? Any news on disciplinary?
