33718_1325770967.jpg Games as big as Grand Finals define individuals and clubs. Remember, we only rent these journeys. In my time I had Pat Richard's shirt. Ellery Hanley had Sean O'Loughlin's jersey. Sam Tomkins is wearing Radders' number one jersey. Andy Coley is wearing Shaun Wayne's jersey. You have to make a mark in these shirts before you hand it down to someone else. Hand it back. So be aware for 80 minutes that you are not only playing, but you are also writing history and creating legacy. How many people actually write history - not many? A big stage demands big players…..INSPIRE YOUR TEAM MATES.

Too late ... seen it
As Pie has said, it's one thing knowing how to beat the opposition - it's another matter having the players, intensity, and firepower to do it at playoff time. Both sides on paper have got 1 & 3 ..... we'll see tonight who's got 2 !

| 1) Avoid Brain Farts and indiscipline which would give Leeds easy upfield yardage.
2) Spot Sinfield and Burrow, cutting down their kicking game.
3) Tackle tough, but legal, and clamp the ball.
4) Give the ball some air when the situation dictates.
5) Vary our kicking game... keep 'em guessing. Uncertainty promotes mistakes.
Simple!

| This is a tough one to call. Last time we played, Leeds defence was very quick to move up which limited the ground made by our forwards and have our backs no platform to build. Green & Smith need to recognise if this is happening and be creative but only when the time is right. We can't afford to have less possession than Leeds.
Kicking will be key. We all know Sinfield will kick us to death so pressure on him is important but without sacrificing a solid and strong defensive line which would leave gaps for their very quick back line to exploit. I think this is a much tougher fixture than the Huddersfield game last time out and the tactics need to be different. I don't buy into the Leeds might tire theory. They're professional athletes who are capable of playing 2 games with this turn around.
If we can get some field position from an effective kicking game and have a better share of possession, we can win the game. It'll need a near perfect performance from the whole 17 on duty to pull this one off. MM to play 80 is essential for me. I'd love to get to a play off series without key players missing! I'd love lockers out there tonight!
I think the game will be won by the halves of either team. Heart says Wigan, head not sure! COME ON WIGAN!!!

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |
