Skip back to the many threads started after the Castleford defeat and you'll see, even the prediction competition for the other week had a lot more people tipping a Catalans win rather than Leeds.

That's not the same as saying people were suggesting Leeds would lose the next 4 fixtures 2 of which were against 2 of the weakest sides in SL.

Leeds have only played 2 serious sides - they have had a very soft start to the season - and they have lost them both the next test will be Wigan - lets hope it is better than the game at the Jungle

Anyway, Huddersfield away next. Considering they picked up a great point today at Wigan and always seem to be up for us at home in the regular rounds should be a bit more of a guide to where we are at the minute. I can't see there being more than a score in it either way.

Losing to Catalans is not what you said and you know it so prove your point or stop digging

Leeds have played Leigh, Salford, Wakefield and Huddersfield next week all contenders for the bottom 4 I would say that is a pretty soft start to the season

How many of those did you predict would be in the bottom 4?

Next week is a toughie for sure,I would take a win of any sort as it will put a bit of day light between the sides

It's proves my point exactly, more people were writing us off for that game than back us to win. Like I said go back to those post Castleford threads and GH's 4 game 'deadline' and plenty didn't fancy our chances in those 4 games. People are still questioning are chances in the next two.



At the start of the season I'd say quite a few of them would be in the bottom 4, but things change just like facing Warrington hasn't been the same challenge for teams that you would've thought. We're the only team to have won at Leigh, Salford are doing ok and have beat Castleford and Warrington.

Wigan have played Leigh (at home) Salford, Widnes, Huddersfield (which they drew) and a massively out of form Warrington. Can we dismiss Wigan until they have tougher challenges? Haven't seen anybody do it.

Wigan were well off it today apparently and still could've won.
I'll wait for the squads to be announced before making predictions but if we're unchanged or even better we have more players back then it should be a fairly comfortable win.

Wigan lost Liam Farrell before the game and O'Loughlin early doors today both with calf injuries so could be interesting how they go the next few weeks if they don't get them guys back with Hull on Friday and then us at Headingley and Cas the following week, could be some more dropped points coming up for them. I know they cope better than others with injuries but those two guys in particular could be a couple of injuries too many even for Wigan.

That'll go some way to explaining why Hudds did so well yesterday then.
I'm shocked at O'Loughlin getting injured though, it's not like him at all.

If those two are missing at Headingley then I can see us winning quite easily.
