Play like anything we did in the second half of this afternoons game and we will be in with a good chance of winning, Wigan will be looking to bounce back from their defeat against Warrington this week. We could be in with a cracker next week, I expect Lee Smith, Brett Delaney and Ali Lauitiiti to be back this week, but Luke Burgess will be out due to his operation this week. Glad to see Ben Cross came back onto the field in the second half, shows that he was ok from his concussion. IMO the Watkins, Ablett partnership is the best partnership we had in the centre/wing this season. Id go with a 19 of:



Webb, Smith, Delaney, Senior, Hall, Burrow, Leuluai, Buderus, Jones-Buchanan, Ablett, Sinfield, Lauitiiti, Cross, Bailey, Kirke, Watkins, Hauraki, Clarkson, McShane.



If this is so, after todays performance I would say Smith and Kirke to drop out.



Webb

Watkins

Ablett

Senior

Hall

Sinfield

Burrow

Leuluai

Buderus

Bailey

Hauraki

Clarkson

Jones-Buchanan



McShane

Cross

Delaney

Lauitiiti



If one of Lauitiiti/Delaney are out next week also, can be replaced by Jay Pitts.

If we have Delaney and Smithy available then i'd play both with Smithy at RC with Watkins on the wing and Delaney on the bench to come on in the SR.

Really? Now was Leeds that good or was Wakefield that bad? From where I was stood I'd say the latter. As I'm writing this the highlights are on SSN. Luke George's defence was atrocious and Watkins will not score tries as easy as that against a Wigan defence!!! Unless Leeds improve drastically Leeds will struggle to get into double figures.

Fancy a friendly wager?

Pepper Charnley with plenty of kicks and I'd say we have a shout.

I was away on Friday and have no knowledge of Wigans display, did Charley have a shocker? If so I cannot see Michael Maguire allowing that to happen again - he is a better coach than that.

Rabbit in the headlights performance. Terrible. But TVOC says he won WIgan a couple of penalties and he had to defend him, having bigged him up the preceding week. TVOC loves any winger that doesn't play for Leeds.

Could be quite interesting then with Watkins taking advantage of some poor defending from George this afternoon. I'm not bang upto date with Wigan's injury situation but could they put Roberts or Goulding against Wakins if they are both fit. With Finch coming into the side Tomkins is free'd up for FB which as a result free Roberts up.

Play like anything we did in the first half of this afternoons game and we will be screwed.

Never seems to be in the Leeds game plan though does it....unless it's to kick to the more competent defuser of the high kick a la Pat Richards of course

Only if Wigan don't turn up, and only then by one score, I think the way we played this afternoon a 13 man overlap wouldn't be a certainty to lead to a score

Would have to agree with the above, we got the win and points but no drastic improvement in my opinion. The wigan team will be a stronger opposition and i fear we will struggle
