Davo5 Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 If we can’t beat a mediocre Leeds team at home it surely spells the end of Lam’s tenure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldofclothofgold Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Now its Wigan V Leeds and when Leeds beat Wigan its very memorable because it doesn't happen very often even when Leeds are doing well. Wigan are going through a poor patch and some are predicting they really are in a downward spiral , Leeds could be the fixture when the rumours of Wigans demise are greatly exaggerated, but only for now . Normal service will be resumed tomorrow. They will beat Leeds ,but they're still in demise Soon we will be dancing the fandangoFROM 2004,TO DO WHAT THIS CLUB HAS DONE,IF THATS NOT GREATNESSTHEN i DONT KNOW WHAT IS.JAMIE PEACOCK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FearTheVee Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Leeds win for me - Wigan look like a team just waiting for the coach to be sacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redjonn Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Considering the likely teams Wigan will edge it. Just think lack of half back as in Gale will be a disadvantage with no one to cover for him. I mean Leeming ain't a half back, especially his sometimes erratic passing for that position. It should be an interesting game given both teams will be fielding a fair amount of youngsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes it's hard to see Leeds will have the cutting edge required here which has been the problem all season despite the pack dominating most games. Pies by 10 i'll guess but I'd love it, just love it, if we won there for the first time since 2013. Edited August 25, 2021 by M j M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleEyePie Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 I can't see Wigan's attack suddenly coming to life so I'd expect this game to be close but Leeds should outscore us (not like that is particularly difficult). I'd like to see Lam include our experienced forwards and make them do the bulk of the work. Singleton, Bullock and Clark at prop with one of the younger ones too. At the moment we should still be fairly comfortable in a playoff position but with the fixtures we have it's important to get wins on the board and avoid a run of consecutive losses. We've already beaten Leeds, Cas and Hull this season and if we do the same again that should be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree we are massively missing Gale, but I expect Mclelland and Lui to be put half backs, Mclelland had his best game yet for Leeds last week imo. Even without Oledski, who for me is one of the best props in Super League, I think the Leeds forwards are far superior to Wigan’s and will win the game for Leeds.

Old Frightful Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Tetevano? may have to answer to that shortly, looked like a shoulder charge to the head of a man already held up in a tackle. 1 Sky Sports Jenna Brooks to Jake Connor regarding England selection : "Shaun Wane has said that he's spoken to you about why you were left out, he's also said he's told you what you needed to do more of, I'm interested, what do you need to do more of and did you do it tonight?" Jake Connor : "I don't know, to be honest I haven't spoken to him." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
