Just a thought, I know you can only beat what is put in front of you, but have Wigan beaten anyone this year who have fielded their strong, fit, first choice thirteen? Friday night remeinded me of a sunny Saturday in June 2005.... No doubt the comments about Friday from Wiganers will not be the same bleats as that Sunny Saturday night!

Also, what was Phil Clarkes comment about it all started to go wrong for Bradford the day they signed Iestyn Harris? Must admit I missed that one.

Yes Warrington at the HJ, Hull F.C at the DW, And you only had 3 first teamers out when you came to the DW and we had 2 out by the way. Saints had 1 first teamer out and so did Wigan when we played them at the GPW.

By the way Wigan still have 2 of there 1 to 13 players out you can only beat the team infront of you.
The question you should ask is how many Leeds have beaten when the other side has put its first choice 13 out?

When?

Just put this one in the keep net!!

suggest you read what i put then check it on the SL web site as thats where i got the teams from

Why would a 3-peat back to back Champion team worry about form or league tables given their inert knowledge that when they wish to, they can beat anyone in the League? The core of the team know how to perform at the key end of the season and it is ever more evident that they are saving themselves for the key run in come play-off time.

A very very brave soul to write of the Champions of 3 years running based around July form or league placings.

Donald, Delaney, Ablett, Peacock, Leuluai, Sinfield all missing just from a quick glance down the teamsheet. I may be missing someone though.

Should we delete Andy Greg from the "knows what he is talking about list?"

Saints had Wheeler (Dean played centre), Wellens (Wilkin at 6, Pryce at fullback) and Soliola out for the wigan game - funny looking 1 player missing for that game too.

Think this fella's lost the plot.

Missed Eastwood & Watkins as well, we did pretty well that day with all those out.

Whilst this time you will also have Lee Smith, arguably the most "big game" player in SL.

Whilst I agree with that, we've only really seen glimpses of the big game player since his invaluable effort against Bradford.

It's confirmed. You are a know nowt fekwit thick as fook gomper.

Brett Delaney, Kallum Watkins, Scott Donald, Jamie Peacock, Kylie Leuluai, Carl Ablett, Kevin Sinfield, Greg Eastwood.

Please explain how that amounts to 3, you gloit.

He thinks all 27 squad members are "first teamers" - we should take that as a compliment really.
