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!!!
