Quote ="SmokeyTA"Can’t believe some bookies have the game off scratch. Wigan must surely be fairly decent favourites with that line-up against a Leeds side whose backline is all over the place at the moment. We have one side of attack at the moment, and probably among the best if not the best in the league in Moon and Hall, but wigan have a good defensive structure on that side which is going to mitigate that as an attacking ploy. Wigan are also a team which keep it tight, don’t drop many balls, don’t miss many tackles, where as Leeds are likely to throw it around a bit more and take a few more risks, against this Wigan defence this can be suicide. That big strong pack would get on top, and with a decent kicking game, lots of pressure on Vickery who isn’t great, and Watkins who is potentially world class centre, but definitely not a fullback, You would expect Wigan to pick up some points.
If everything sticks and they play tighter than last week Leeds can win, if they don’t, Wigan will easily win. No handicap seems very generous for Wigan though.'"
Leeds are at home, current SL Champions and have the best player in the world playing.
We have 4 of our pack missing who would definitely be in the 17. Average age of our front row is 23 tonight, they have stood up well the last couple of weeks but on paper the Leeds pack should dominate to allow the best player in the world the space to kick us to death. Leeds should be favourites IMO.
