eyes on the semi I think

Lambs to the slaughter

Last year I would have said so, I think there is obviously a different ethic in the team and some of them youngsters mentioned are very good.

You obviously haven't seen much of Wigan this season, we can barely get out of our own half.

its a free game for us really, we arent desperate for the two points. Wigan arent in the greatest form, the kids get some experience, a few knocks and strains get rested, if we win and the kids show up well, brilliant, if they don't then we reset, bring back the big boys and go again at the semi and middle 8s/

That was last year...you're a bit better this year

Welcome to Wanes world. Nobody has had any sympathy for Wigan when they have had similar numbers out of a few occasions this season. It is what it is, Leeds just have to get on with it.
As we found the youngsters will give loads of enthusiasm and could be good experience in the long term.

As for the game it all really depends how Wigan show up, will they put in a strong showing after the disappointment of last week? Could seeing the Leeds team sheet make them complacent?

I see some on social media aren't happy with the weakened squad but I suppose time will tell and if we win the semi final you could say it was worth it. Personally think we should've aimed for the 2 points here but if the end justify the means next week vs Hull then so be it.

I see Hull have gone pretty much full strength in their 19 this week. Ellis back in, Kelly named but maybe they'll give him another week off.

Losing to the 2017 Pies would be an embarrassment.

I'd still be surprised if we turned you over given our form. A bit of youthful exuberance against a Wigan team going through the motions could work a treat.

If anyone is confident of a Leeds win, might be worth sticking a few quid on them at the bookies, seem to be around 5/1 to win

Don't fancy us to win with that many missing but remember us beating Cas at home one year with a load of players injured or rested.

wasn't it that they were playing for GB?

Think it was 2008, we beat Castle 18-12 and had halves of Webb and Danny Allan! But that was at home, bit different youngster getting their first game away

Danny Allen!there's a name I'd forgotten. think his dad had a garage in york iirc. went there once or twice to look at cars.
