I would.

Both figured in the more expensive part of our squad when the season commenced, and in Roberts's case, he still does. (I accept that Roberts is officially fit, but that nasty injury took away the Amos Roberts we loved and admired - he's a shadow of that player now, and may as well still be on the treatment bench).

But if you don't want to count Roberts, you can certainly count Gleeson and Fielden. In both those cases salary cap money has been wasted all season.

Granted we haven't really needed them, but without that wasted expenditure we could have had two additional top-drawer players in our first team squad.

If people are going to start talking about Leeds being reduced in strength, then there's no reason why we can't say the same thing about Wigan, because on paper at least they have been.

Wigan have been improving all season, NRL coaches pride themselves on getting their team ready for crunch games. The two previous games against the Rhinos were close affairs, but more to do with poor Wigan form in game one and as a previous poster noted a run of games against top teams before the second Rhinos game.

The Rhinos will turn up and make the game a battle for as long as they can and they do have some very quick young players who could go the length of the pitch; a reproduction of the form against Wire and Saints will see Wigan winning.

It wont be as easy as some think, Leeds still have class players who have the ability to inflict damage, but as a team, they struggle.
Forget Sheffield, that had more to do with money and the betting odds than a shock win.

We all know that Leeds will cause us some troubles, we have played them twice this season and have an aggregate score of 46-44 in our favour. Shows who close they can be to us. They will no doubt try and slow us down, try and use the famous bully tactics to try and throw us of our fluent game.

Madge knows what to expect, he will have us technically spot on to face Leeds and Wane will have the lads fired up.

It wont be a big win, but i think we'll take it by 10 points.

Course madge knows! What I can't believe is that Wigan fans can't see knobody spoils, niggles, slows the play down and trys to bully more than Wigan. Don't pretend your some pretty rugby team. You are the baby of bellamy. That's not a bad thing it's just true.

leeds are still a top 8 team and as such they demand respect wigan will be fully focused on the job in hand come the weekend. i think it will be a close game but wigan will just edge it i hope.
