Does anyone know if you can go in and out of the grounds during the day?'"
It's been allowed every other year so I would say yes.

I hope your right. I went last year but didn't try. You van obviously go ink and out of the stadium and into the fan zone. I'm surprised re-entry was allowed.

Just found this on RFL site
PASS OUTS:
A pass out/return system will be operated on both event days allowing spectators to move freely to and from the stadium bowl – there is no limit on the number of times someone is allowed to pass out and re-enter.
Spectators leaving the stadium bowl with the intention of returning may do so but MUST first ensure that they have a hand stamp applied upon initial exit; if there is no evidence of a hand stamp re-entry will not be permitted. Hand stamps will be applied by stadium stewards. Dedicated exit and re-entry gates on each level will be used to facilitate this operation. Different coloured hand stamps will be used for each level each day.
It is important that match tickets are not discarded; tickets need to be produced for re-entry if using the pass out system. Re-entry to the stadium bowl will be on production of both a hand stamp and relevant match ticket.

| Lockers is still an outside chance of playing according to an interview with him on the love rugby league site.
No point taking any sort of risks but if he's fit that would be a real boost.

| Quote: RhinoNeil "Not directed towards you, I've seen comments regarding referees and Leeds quite a bit recently.
Where did I say the Southstand doesn't have any influence on referee decisions??
I said Leeds are not giving the opposition anything and the stats prove that. You dont concede the lowest penalties in the league just because of the Southstand.
As already alluded to, last week I saw 2 occasions when Leeds' players legs were lifted above the horizontal, the southstand erupted then, what was given? Nothing.
Yes, 50/50 decisions crowds can influence the referee, and when they go against you its your teams own fault for been in that position in the first place. Its 50/50, your away from home etc...'"
With all due respect the reason you hear that is because there's some truth in it. It's remarkable that Leeds fans go on about Wigan's 'foul play' when Jamie Peackock led with the elbow not once, but twice during that match alone and, not only didn't get penalised, but didn't even get spoken to! You also committed more than your fair share of head shots (as picked out by the commentary team on occasion) and our play the balls were much slower than yours; not because of some fitness issues or an imaginary inability of our players to stand up less quickly than yours, but because yours were more adept at holding down than ours. Yet in Leeds fans eyes we were the main guilty party in all of these offences! If you seriously think that your players went through an entire game of that intensity (up until that time the toughest and quickest game of the season by any 2 teams) only committing one offence then either 1) Your team is made up of angelic supermen or 2) you're being extremely one-eyed!
Now, don't get me wrong; I've posted elsewhere that niggle and playing the game at the margins is what makes a good team great and I applaud Leeds for doing just that. However please don't be so naïve as to think you're somehow being hard done by when other supporters considering Leeds get away with more than most. If we ever go a game of that intensity only conceding one penalty I promise you I won't even need to watch the match to know we got away with a few!

Slow PTBs can often occur when you get dominated in the forwards as we were. If they can regularly win the collision, put numbers into the tackle and turn the player over in defence and we're not managing to do the same because they have momentum and stronger runners they're bound to get quicker PTBs.

Or to put it another way, more adept at holding down....

All part of the game. When our team does it it's good technique. When opposition do it it's holding down.

Its called controlling the game mate
You win the collision and dominate your man at the PTB which goes a long way to snuffing out the next attack.
Like I said, I don't like talk of referees as I believe you are always in control of matters. If Wigan had a problem with Leeds using a slow ruck then its their own fault for not winning the collision.

every coach from juniors upwards will talk about winning the collision and dominating the ruck. That's all part of being a good rugby team not a skilless way to cheat the opposition like you make out. We do it plenty ourselves, but in this game we couldn't as our forwards were beaten. No point looking for excuses!

Hang on a minute! If you're going to put words in my mouth at least give them some semblance of truth! Please point out where I said it was 'a skilless way to cheat the opposition' or indeed anything remotely similar. In fact I said the exact opposite ('being able to play at the margins is what makes a good team great' and 'I applaud Leeds for being able to do so') However, as Pemps points out quite succinctly, one set of fans 'good technique' is the opposition fans 'foul play'. We lose many things when O'Loughlin is out but I've always maintained that one of the most important is his unrivalled ability to control the speed of the play the ball. Guess what though? Opposition fans complain that he 'gets away with holding down' and 'is a cheat'.. QED
On a personal note, you need to wind your neck in mate. I strongly object to being spoken down to in the way you seem to have taken to recently. I've been a Wigan supporter for well over 20 years and a season ticket holder for most of that. I certainly don't need you to condescendingly explain the basics of the game. Did you think you think you were giving some great insight or something? I suggest that, before you post your lols and great insights in future, you actually learn to read and, more importantly, understand the posts you're answering to. ''More adept at holding down' was a compliment and nowhere did I suggest that it was skilless or outside the rules. Moreover, nowhere was there any intimation that I didn't understand the principles involved. I certainly didn't require your great insight into one of the most basic aspects of the game; less so delivered in the condescending way you chose to. Now, if you'd just explain what that ball-thingy is that the players seem to carry I'd be most grateful
