Seeing how we perform on Sunday should give us a better idea for next week.

How? We'll be playing a guy who can't play next week.

of course he is you simpleton

There's no point worrying about Leeds - if we get our act together we can beat anyone.

Yes Tommy is a big loss, but it's not an insurmountable one.

I can't see Smith making that much of an impression on Sunday to be honest.
Now if the rest of the team can actually put some decent tackles and keep possession (unlike against Bradford) then maybe we are back on track.

True I guess

Hard to know where Leeds are at ATM. Ever since the Wigan and Wire beatings we took the next 4 fixtures looked like 4 wins on paper with the Hull game looking like the best gauge of where we're at since we last played you lot but the weather really removed any chance of putting on a decent performance and it turned out to be just about picking up the win in bad conditions.

The defence is looking better in the last 2 weeks but we've hardly faced the most cracking attacking against us so who knows, however but for BJB's error it should of been a niling tonight which is still impressive in SL against any opposition. The real difference since we last played Wigan is in personnel with Hardaker & Ablett at 1 & 4 looking better than when we had Webb and Hardaker in those positions, and also Stevie Ward getting starts for us now.

I think we do stand a chance but we are going to have to keep penalties and handling errors to a very low amount (the latter of which i'm really concerned about), we'll get brushed aside if we're giving you piggy backs up the field or letting you starts sets in our half following a knock on.

You guys just don't get sarcasm do you.... Of course we will beat "dirty Leeds", they were woeful last night.... Jeez

Wigan will slap 40+ on Leeds, the only chance Leeds have is the weather.

Personally I'm expecting a Wigan win by 12. Even with injuries I've seen nothing to suggest Leeds have what it takes to stop a fired up Tomkins inspired Wigan side. If by some form of coincidence Tomkins picks up a knock and doesnt play then I would be having a rethink ...

According to that headline you are already there.

[size=150Leeds head to=#FF0000 final in top form[/size

That was the point I was making.

To be fair, it is their final...

Yeah I get that, but the part about pinning it up on a wall to motivate your players is nonsense. A typo in the headline of an article which is mainly about a match not relevant to the coming one should be pinned on a wall for your players to look at? Do you honestly beleive that would make a difference to the Semi final in terms of firing your players up more than they already would be?

You have seen the forecast for next week I take it ???

story from delaney on sky sports stating that Leeds know what to expect from wigan. I'm sure we heard all of these stories before our lads tore them to bits with half a pack missing at headingley.

I'd never read into players pre-match interviews to be honest.

Losing Leuluai has clearly impacted upon our structures and our quality of performance over the last few games.

But if we can't adapt to losing one of our pivot players, then maybe we're not as good as we think we are.

Saints lost their first choice pairing last year and got to the Grand Final.

With the returning players we should have, there will be no excuses. I'd have brought Mellor back straight away though and given him a go in the games leading up. Too late now, O'Loughlin it will be. Wane will not move Tomkins from fullback.

You guys by 20+

I honestly think this game is going to come down to the last few minutes and there wont be much more then a few points in it.

Leeds have hit better form and know how to play it in big games. We're a better side when everyone's fully fit but theyre not so that levels it up against a big game side like Leeds.

We'll need to scrap every inch to win it.

With our injury situation and the likely ridiculous inclusion of Lockers at 6, this is too close to call.

With Tommy in the team we would have won by 20 easily.

Depends if Lima is back for me if we have any chance now. He'll cannonball ... I meant steam roll over the Leeds pack
