So your saying there wasn't an incident last week that left Danny Mcguire needing knee surgery??

Everyone knows he cheated. Try telling your fans that wasn't a walk-in try though

Re-read the thread properly the poster i was replying to made out that the Leeds players reacted the same way as Riddell and Leuleui did to Mcguires injury during a game at HQ when Tompkins was fouled which has been proven to be lies.
If yer gonna wade in or interupt read the threads properly and don't miss the point being made TIA.

Again more Bollox Farrell was sin binned not sent off for being late and high on a kicker which is clearly what the rules state is it not?
As for the Ablett incident who's fault is it that he did'nt go to the bin or get a red card?
Who has'nt realised Mcguire "cheated"?
Did golden boy not do the same against HKR on friday?
So are Clarkes comments and bile spouted by your fellow pies after Mcguire got seriously injured justified?

Coley - pulled Baileys hand off the ball, following set led to a Wigan try.

Sam Tomkins - Twice clamping the ball as tackler attempts to regain his feet.

Joel Tomkins - kicking McGuire

.......all in the spirit of the game? No club is anymore guilty than any other, all fans have their agenda, but how can you all be ar$ed with this page after page of cr@p?

Also, if you're not trying to cheat, you're not trying hard enough!

Conversation stopper.

(But you're right !)

You must have been watching a different Leeds Rhinos to the ones I've been watching over the years, week in week out.

I just hope to see a clean, classic game, that is a testament to the talents of both sides and the sport in general. Leeds v Wigan encounters are always excellent affairs and I suspect this one will be no different. I'm quietly confident of a Wigan win.

I just hope that the antics in the media by Phil Clarke, the twitter brigade and Jamie Peacock doesn't serve to add to the mounting tensions between both sets of supporters and this bring the game into disrepute. With the ability to mix around the ground freely and with people no doubt drinking before the game, I have to admit I think there could be trouble. I sincerely hope not.

As for the match itself, Wigan just need to stay professional as they have done this season. If Leeds want to come out taking our heads off, starting fights, trying to wind us up - then let them. It will only serve to hurt them if we keep our discipline and they concede cheap field position/get a man sent to the sin bin. With Danny McGuire absent, Leeds will be missing some spark. Although their forward pack is depleted, they still managed to get on top of us last time round. We must therefore go with four props - Feka, Prescott, Coley, Fielden - as we did against Hull KR. Hopefully Deacon is fit so he can amend our atrocious kicking game.

I hope when everything is said and done, no matter what has been said in the last couple of weeks, Leeds & Wigan fans put their differences aside and enjoy an excellent game of Rugby League, which this fixture and the sport deserves.

At least you didnt mention Leeds Utd this time like you did on your board

Wigan will bottle it again thanks to Bailey and the on form (forget the Crusaders 1st round match) Huddersfield will shock the half backless Saints into an unedifying last match at KR defeat.

Leeds v Giants final....with yet another GF win for the Rhinos. Who would have thought it ?

How the Leeds win is achieved over 80 minutes I care not one jot about and if you're honest you'll probably feel exactly the same if the team you support goes through to the Grand Final in their place.

Leeds must control the ruck effectively on both sides. Against Kr last weekend Wigan were excellent in this area. They threw three men into most tackles, controlled the speed of the ruck perfectly and showed good defensive line speed. KR had one or two tacklers max, lost the collision and were on the back foot.

This is a key area. I don't think we can go through them so we must hit the line hard, find the ground quickly and get a quicker ruck. If we do that, and it is a big if because Wigan have excelled in this area, we can win this.
