Quote: tvoc "In the SL Era the only area Leeds have the upper hand over Wigan in head to head confrontations is in the Challenge Cup and that is probably only because all four meetings have been at Headingley.
SL Era Regular Rounds - 57% to Wigan
SL Era Play-Offs/Premiership - 56% to Wigan
You still think Wigan have a terrible record V Leeds?
If you want to dismiss the full-time Era has a whole and stick with recent form, as you've already pointed out Wigan have recorded two comfortable wins this season while suffering two agonisingly close defeats.

In the play-offs, yes.
Our last play off win against you was in 2003. That year was also very close in the league, 2 24-all draws, 1 win to you by 10 points and 1 to us (the aforementione play-off win, by 1 point).
The teams were very different back then.
Our secret weapon then was the wonderful Mike Gregory as coach. Today we have another Mike in charge, but still, I maintain my point; me saying next week is going to be a hard-fought and possibly very close match is hardly me being arrogant or looking through "Wigan coloured glasses".
I hope we win, I'm sure you hope you win. Good luck, both teams are going to need it.
