We could go to Wire with a full strength team, play brilliantly and still get beat on the night. Then play Cas with a weakened team and get beat.

Would that be forward planning?

Why is the Wire game more important?

We are clear at the top and most people accept that finishing top isnt that important anyway?

You should always try to beat your main opponents, experiment in the easier game. Where did i say it was important to finish top?

I'd rather beat wire and get beat by Cas if we are to lose one of these 2 games. Cas aren't going to trouble alums at the top of the table, were as if we beat wire then we will be 7 points clear of them.



I'm not confident about the wire game though to be honest.

Pull yourself together man!!!! Good grief!!!

If I was Shaun Wane I would be picking my strongest possible side for the Wire game. Your record from memory isn't the best against Warrington over recent seasons and Wane might want to field a strong side and get that monkey off your back. The is plenty of time to rest players during a season but against Warrington?? That would be plain stupid.

Strongest possible side for Wire and then maybe look at resting a few against Cas with it being such a short turnaround.

That would be the more sensible option....

All guns blazing at Wire for me. If we send a weaker team and get dusted, it'll do nothing for the confidence of the team that plays. And will probably be a big confidence boost for the Wolfs. Plus we need our best players to have an intense hit out, I don't think these thrashings have done much good for us.

thats my view on things...games v top sides are 4 pointers, we can afford to risk dropping points v teams near bottom, and at the same time giving kids vital experience.

I know for a fact that Smith won't play next Monday

I'd rather us wipe that smug look from Smiths face

Never did Leeds any harm not winning against the top sides the last few years, we would also still be top anyway.

Beating or loosing to Wire in June means nothing at all.
