The Warriors picked up no major injuries in thier win over Catalan Dragons last Friday, and will be boosted by the return of centre, Darrell Goulding who replaces Rhodri Lloyd after three weeks out through injury and illness.

| prefer Daz's defence down that side with Josh, if he is fighting fit he has to play for me and pack the bench with 3 guys to spell the pack plus Logan. Will be a tough call for 1 of the 17 to miss out from last weeks team for Daz though

Sam
Charnley
Goulding
Thornley
Pat
Smith
Green
Dudson
MM
Crosby
Tuson
Farrell
Lockers
Hughes
Taylor

| Going off our last visit, it will be interesting to see how they go as an indication to how they want to play the weekly rounds, with what they perceive to be their best league place for the playoffs.

| As mentioned Daz needs to play at centre if he's fit. It'll be a tough call for who to drop between Burke, Hughes and Tuson. It'll probably come down to whoever trains best the week

| Does anyone know whats happening with Rhodri Lloyd? From what little I saw of him last year, he seemed like quite an impressive prospect but he doesn't seem to be in the reckoning at the moment despite our 'injury crisis' of sorts in the forwards. Is it just a case he's not quite ready yet or is there something else to it?

I wouldn't read too much into it, Burke had an awesome preseason so he got the call up ahead of Lloyd. Despite losing Hansen and Hock there is still plenty competition in our back row

| 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.
