how many game ban for that? i hope its more than baileys 5? lol.


On a serious note, I am liking the way Leeds going along now. Beat all the top teams (I don't class hudds yet as one) and going along steady. They pretty much destroyed warrington in everything bar the score. A jaded 2nd half due to a trip to France and the bulls in town meant we were never going to run away with it in the end.

We can beat any team on our day. Wigan however unlike last season are also going along very good without being in the top form they lost at the back end of last season. Fully expect a Leeds vs Wigan grandfinal based on how the season is going.

Bailey, Delany to come back too Hardacker back after several weeks..roll on Friday.

Leeds are playing well, and it's looking like a three-horse race (with maybe Huddersfield in the mix as well as long as they don't do their normal implosion thing) for the league-leaders shield.

It's a bit of a 'phoney war' at the moment, with all the sides struggling with absentees through injury.  It's going to be a case of who can cope the best without their missing players, and who will be strongest come the end of the season.

Wigan didn't play well on Sunday, but for the match against Bradford, there could be Charnley, Richards, Lockers, Hansen, Mossop and Flower all back in contention. Not a bad group of players to have coming back into the side.

Yeah I think ~Wigan have more depth this year. Not worried about Hudds tbh, think come the end of the season they will be 4-5th and lose out to the bigger team come crunch time.

Maybe Bradford up there as well?  Or again, not enough strength in depth?

I liked Bradford against Leeds, they seemed to have a great team spirit and some good players. Would not want to meet them in playoffs

Sale are saying a 3.5 year deal has been done for Wigan to sign Andy Powell.  Wigan so far have said "no comment".  It's all a bit strange.
