is JJB fit? he still had a pot/cast on his foot on saturday

any side you want...still gonna lose

Ooo! Ooo! Ooo! i love it best when people totally write us off!

i dont like it when leeds are written off. we are favourites for sunday after finishing top and leeds injury issues in the forwards, but you still have a decent pack and are always dangerous in the halves. we also have alot of youngsters who are yet to experience playoff football, will they cope not only with the pressure but the expectation of the wigan fans. this game is going to be alot closer than many think. maybe a just a couple of points either way. sunday will not be another CC final. leeds will turn up and wigan will have to play very very well to beat you !!!!

Of course he wont play this way cos he never has a back on the bench (unless he has senior there but he would be classing him as a 2nd row if he did)

Difficult to pick a side at this time of the year without knowing the full extent of player fitness.

If Leeds win it will be close. Otherwise I fear a re-run of the CC final scoreline.

Pick from the following:


The squad in full is:


1 Brent Webb
2 Scott Donald
3 Brett Delaney
4 Keith Senior
5 Ryan Hall
6 Danny McGuire
7 Rob Burrow
8 Kylie Leuluai
9 Danny Buderus
12 Ali Lauitiiti
13 Kevin Sinfield
14 Matt Diskin
15 Greg Eastwood
16 Ryan Bailey
17 Ian Kirke
18 Carl Ablett
20 Jay Pitts
24 Luke Ambler
28 Lee Smith

I think Leeds will roll out the same 17 as last week.

I'd be tempted to bring Ambler and Pitts in for Smith and Ali this week.

I don't like saying that about Smith as he is one of my favourites, but I would just rather load ourselves with forwards, and I thought Donald had a good game last week.

Ambler and Pitts seem to have gone down the pecking order, so can't see them getting a game now we are in the play-offs.

Ali has to be in for me. He has the ability to break down teams, we will need some flare to create enough scoring chances to out score Wigan.

Hull have a big pack and Leeds more than held their own last week. So I hope we can repeat the effort and improve to get the win. So with the injury disruptions as it is, I think Leeds needs as many constants as possible now. So the same 17 would be a big help IMO.

Is Lauitiiti worth taking into the game if you're only going to get 20 minutes out of him before he breaks down again?

Yes.

5 minutes in the GF did the job.

His offload (all-be-it a scruffy one) was the game breaker to create the space for McGuire to win it last week.

All-be-it a gap with Radford type shape in it.

Alll well and good if Alis is on the pitch for longer than 10 minutes, but a complete waste of a gamble if not.



Hull played with 12 men last week, and lost one of their forwards from that team inside 10 minutes. I would not hold onto anything from last week as a given for this week.

You could say he always comes with a gamble!

He will play.
