I don't doubt that wigan will be up for it. Whether they have the confidence and concentration to use the ball well is another matter.

I hope they get this printed in massive letters and placed around the training ground between now and when the team travel up to Newcastle

I am sure they know it themselves, considering they always struggle against that kind of defence. Wigan especially done it numerous times to us, even with kids.

What I take from that is an admission that if Leeds play with composure then they're a better side than Wigan...

It's exactly what they did in the Magic game last year. Worked like a charm. We'll see whether we handle it better this year.

Agreed. But what ever we think, I hope the team are P'd off that any opposing team feel they have a sure fire way of unsettling our game. I hope that Gelling's glib comments inspire a clinical response. Forewarned is forearmed and all that.
But as others have said it's exactly what they did to us last year and the team will know that with out the mind games banter from Gelling. I hope their response is appropriate  |

Whilst Wigan should play a similar style to last year, I think if they try an exact carbon copy then they could be in trouble. Leeds' attacking style is so completely removed from last years lacking in ideas style that Wigan will need to consider that change in Leeds from 12 months ago. As much as they did a job on us last year with tactics, we still could've won in that 2nd half with more points which we had the field position and possession to do.....something we don't struggle with this year. Add to it that we had no Aiton, Cuthberston or Watkins in last years game, also not sure if Stevie Ward played last year. If he did it wasn't the 2015 version......that's arguably our four best performers in 2015 so far so that should be taken into account.

Looking at the 19, would have thought we'll be:
1. Hardaker
27. Handley
3. Watkins
4. Moon
5. Hall
13. Sinfield (C)
6. McGuire
17. Cuthbertson
9. Aiton
10. Peacock
14. Ward
16. Achurch
12. Ablett
7. Burrow
11. Jones-Buchanan
15. Delaney
19. Singleton
Walters went well last week but drops out as Delaney and JJB are back, Sutcliffe as well for mine. We need to dominate Wigan up front and JJB & Delaney are the two nearest SRs we have to a 4th prop. Achurch showed what he can do when not wasted running up the middle so I'd keep him out wide and give him the time to get into the game.

Poor performance so far. Wigan dominating possession and field position, despite being 12-4 up it was always going to happen. Big improve,net in second half needed, Wigan are nothing special we just need to get the ball in their half more.
