I very much doubt that, I can't see any rugby player, at any level, thinking "oh no they're getting rough, I'll back down and try to make the game easier" If Wigan go at them in the first twenty then I would fully expect Leeds to give exactly what they get, regardless of whether they have a semi final next week or not.

I wouldn't either, which is why I said "subconsciously".

I was just trying to make a point.

I still maintain theres not a chance in hell that Leeds will back down if we start ripping in.

Lee Smith might not even play. Webb is now back. Smith played left centre against Salford as Senior was rested. Peacock should be back, and Burrow might return also, but thats less certain..

I was wondering what Howard from the Halifax ads was doing these days.
