Foster comes into the 19 for Bailey which perhaps shows that McShane's chances of being involved in the playoffs are very slim if none of the pivots get injured.

Rob Burrow is reportedly having some form of injection to allow him to play this game.

You would have to question the wisdom of this for what is alleged on here a ''dead rubber'', unless leeds really don't fancy facing huddersfield first up.

Not really a surprise with how this clueless coach operates.

a ruined back playing needlessly will go well with his possible regular concussion dementia

Kevin Sinfield has not missed a goal since his first kick vs Castleford, stands at 34!

4/4 vs Catalan Dragons, 2/2 vs Hull KR, 7/7 vs Salford City Reds, 5/5 vs London Broncos, 5/5 vs Wakefield Trinity Wildcats, 4/4 vs Exiles, 7/7 vs Castleford Tigers.

There's a bigger obstacle in the way of that scenario even without the RFL rule being in place anyway... and that is that Hunlet's season finished last weekend

Nice little funny aside to tonights game for Leeds fans ....... the loser tonight will play Huddersfield; so for you lot, less travelling, but also, tickets are priced at £10 ..... tickets at HJ for playoff are priced at £20 ......

Funerals have better atmospheres than the DW

Since when can you nick the ball when on the floor? Has it always been like that? I thought once down and tackler on top it's completed.

No, Its fine if your a Wigan player.

are you really complaining after all the forward passes that you have got away with? the ball carrying arm never touched the ground and it was a legit strip.

Classic sucker punch.

Leeds have failed to make their first half advantage count. You gotta post points when you're on top.

Oh well, the game is proving to be a decent run out before the serious business starts.

Onwards to hudds we go I guess (after going in behind i expect wigan to probably win)

after all the defense we have done i think you will have to much for us in the 2nd half.

I don't deny a fair few forward passes from Leeds. But my question was regarding stripping the ball on the floor. Hall was down, Tomkins landed on top, therefore tackle complete. He then nicked the ball.
