Harry Stottle Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) Leeds all but nullified the threat of French and Field in their last meeting, can they do it again, if so they take away a lot of what Wigan are about this season, hence the loss at Headingley. Leeds are playing quite well but I think home advantage will see Wigan home.... Just. Edited September 14, 2022 by Harry Stottle 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerrumonside ref Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 (edited) Leeds have a team of destiny feel about them. They seem to have peaked at the right time. Hopefully they can beat Wigan before being squished in the final by Saints in a small measure of revenge for those previous finals!

Chris22 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 I'd be surprised if we didn't see a reasonably comfortable Wigan win here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loiner Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Well it's been a roller-coaster ride this season but this is where it comes to an end. Good luck to Wigan but I hope you get a stuffed by Salford in the final Wigan by 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Toppy Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Pies by 20+ Leeds scraped a win in France but lets face it, it wasn't because they were great they were just slightly less poor than Catalans were on the day. They went there with a game plan to niggle & disrupt the dragons, and it worked, but wigan are the absolute masters of "s***house tactics". As soon as Isa starts with his late hits, Powell starts with the elbows in the tackle and Smithies rubs his head in the players faces Leeds are going to react. Personally I can see a fair few yellows handed out in this game and possibly the odd red card too. The extra space will then let French & Field run riot. 1 2 1 St.Helens - The Home of record breaking Rugby Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sane tactics are the best I think Harry but Newman isn't an easy body to replace....Sutty in good form but he can't defend or read thier plays like Harry did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbruce Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Good luck to both teams. I’m sure it will be a tough game whoever goes through. Hopefully it’s so tight it goes to a couple of hrs of golden point to separate them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnh1 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 As a Salford fan I'd rather play Leeds in the final than Wigan. So I will be routing for Leeds. Can't believe I've written that! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunbar Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Leeds have done really well to be in this game after the start they had to the season, and the win in France last week was gutsy. But this is a game too far for them against a good and well coached Wigan outfit. 2 "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

Mark S Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 It’s for Wigan to learn from their defeat to Leeds when they let Leeds nullify Field and French. If they have them it’s a Wigan win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Father Ted Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Last week will have taken a lot of the Leeds squad. Wigan will have too much pace and will have learned from the Headingly mess up. Can't see coming close in this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WN83 Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 The Wigan fan in me says I’m nervous and it really could go either way. If I try and take myself away from that feeling and think logically, my mind drifts back to some of our play off runs back in the late 2000’s and we’d finish the season well, win a couple of tough play off games but the semi would be a step too far (and usually against Leeds at Headingley). It feels like that is how this ‘should’ go given Leeds injury/suspension problems but it’s no given (drifted back to being a nervous Wigan fan again). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnM Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 This is clearly a different Leeds to the one that started the season as the one that filled us all with hope that they'd get their just desserts. Leeds new and transformational coach will have been working on a plan for this very game, so watch out for vigorous tactics, frivolous appeals and enough arm waving from Leeds to power a million homes. Wigan to win on fitness and stamina but I'm not supremely confident saying that. "Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth."
