Really..truthfully and honestly...it depends on the ref. Noble knows how to beat Leeds with a real "spoiling gameplan"..lying on at the ruck, niggling, slowing ptb down etc etc....its not pretty on the eye and it's something most Leeds fans and players find very frustrating but spoiling the game as a spectacle and pushing the rules as far as possible will be the Noble gameplan again i think.

Not knocking you...you have a very distinct gameplan against us especially at Headingley and lets face it...it tends to work!!....until the result REALLY matters!!



We have still to get going in attack this year though and i would not rule out a draw on Friday.

It depends on the ref. Leeds are very clever at stealing the ball in the tackle and making it look like it's simply been lost. Also if a Wigan player gets kicked in the face it would be good if the transgressor gets a red card.
I think we will win by 10 points.

You cut through bratfut like they were butter and looked impressive and I suppose you can only beat what tripe is put in front of you.

We had a slightly weakend team out on Sunday and seem to have not reached second gear yet so I can see why your optimistic I was not slating you for it just making an observation.

I think it will be a good and close game but our defence maybe a little bit better than Bratfuts!!!

PS top of the league is not fluke

Think it will be a very close game maybe won by no more than 1 or 2 points not sure which way it will go but i have to say Wigan will win.
Leeds 18 Wigan 19
Attendance 16,000

Won't be more than a try in it. Leeds were poor v Wire, we cant play much better than v Bradford.

All comes down to which side takes their chances and which Leeds "stars" are back from injury.

Leeds 28-10 Wigan

ATT 16,500.

well its noble's biggest game of the year and im sure he will be drilling it into all of the players that this is the big one.

we havent played well in attack at all this season. our defence he's been top draw though.

we beat wire and were poor with the ball at times but again the defence was awesome to say the starting 13 was:

smith
donald
watkins
gibson
hall
mcguire
burrow
bailey
mcshane
burgess
jjb
ablett
sinfield

all but donald are academy lads

peacock was on the bench but got a knock in the first half so we won with 16 players.

if we get senior, diskin and kirke back and peacock gets over his knock wigan are gonna have to play a lot better than they did against(lets be honest) the worst bradford team for about 10 years. but you can only play whats infront of you and you looked good.

cant wait as always

dont think we will win this one but ill be happy with a decent performance, lets get some consistency.

Spot on. If we play like we did on Saturday I will be happy.



I will be even happier if we have a ref that stands up to Peacock. If other certain players had done the same things they would have walked.

what would everyones teams be? personally i'd go for same as saturday bar one - swap coley for prescott.

Richards
Roberts
Bailey
Carmont
Ainscough
Tomkins
Leuluai
Fielden
Riddell
Prescott
Hansen
Tomkins
O'Loughlin

Hock
Feka
McIlorum
O'Carroll

that was the word i was looking for optimistic

Sam Tomkins drop goal



I think there will be no more than 6 in it and could go either way

Hopefully Wigan's way of course

I'd go with that

Leeds 22
Wigan 24

Att: 17,745

I was gonna go with that appart from 17,746 as the attendance.

feelin another 20-18 at shedingley providing we get it together like last week.

Att . 16-17k (leeds' crowds have dropped off for some reason this season)

As I said Leeds are very good at stealing the ball in the tackle. It happens every time we play them. They did Gareth Hock twice tonight! Has anyone else noticed.

oops didn't intend to highlight it all.

Well I was only 68 out on the crowd prediction

and 2 points out on the Agg score
