Watkins struggles to catch any sort of high ball, so he's the last person i'd want to see at FB.

On the other hand what an attacking threat he poses from there.

Dominate territorially and pressure the kicker and you can minimise the effect of high balls (easier said than done I know)

Singleton, Mulhern, Walters & Yates all in the 19....

Mulhern & Walters to drop out IMO

Hope Mulhern gets it over Yates.

Looks like we're going to try and smash the lightweight Wigan pack up the middle...

We tried that at Magic Weekend, and failed miserably. That was exactly a week after Wigan got hammered at Catalans, by a team who took the ball wide at every opportunity. Trying to take Wigan on down the middle is a recipe for defeat.

Agreed.

Not sure the squad selection is an indicator of how we'll play with all the forwards....more a case of who we have left fit and not suspended.

Leeds have been the best team this year and are deservedly top. I would have thought that a win at Wigan would give you just enough leeway to be able to coast through the next few weeks around the Challenge Cup semi and still have points in hand.

I'm expecting a strong Leeds team and a pretty easy win too, given how poor our forwards have been. I disagree with the above posters, the way to beat Wigan is to smash them up the middle. O'Loughlin may play, but he isn't really fit. Without him we have nothing in the middle to trouble Leeds.

Leeds have recruited well with Cuthbertson and Garbutt, whereas all of our props, apart from Tony Clubb, have been pretty poor.

Ha - wish I was as confident as you ...

You know deep down it's impossible to predict Wigan v Leeds thesedays.

Interesting that Mulhern and Yates have both been named in our 19 man squad, especially when they are both down to play for Hunslet tomorrow as well.
