Leeds may have on the GF, but they lost the 3 games after the cup final, if we both do that we wont finish top of the league.

Will certainly effect both teams and it's up to Wigan to take advantage and get a home semi, which will be key.

Build yourself a cushion before wembley so that you can absorb a hangover and still finish top, like leeds did last year. You have to think bigger than just a CC win. This is a huge chance to rack up some trophies for hull this season.

It's an interesting argument as to which is better. Having great players is...errrr....great, but in these salary cap days that means having below average players around them, and means over-reliance on the "greats" staying healthy. Leeds and Huddersfield would love to be as "average" as us right now, I suspect.

I don't think your ability to deal with injuries better is totally down to being a more 'even' squad
The structure that Wane plays seems to be drilled into the whole squad, so injuries shouldn't be too disruptive

btw, if you think it is bad watching an over structured team, try watching a team with no structure (or game plan) whatsoever!

Say what you will about Wane, but if he were in charge of Leeds they would probably be close to the top 4 atm

Maybe, but there would have been no treble last season.

Because Wigan were so very far from getting anything last year?

The proximity of the team to trophies is irrelevant if they fail to win anything. The comment was made because leeds were able to play out of the box at times last year not to a rigid wane structure, which was crucial in winning the games that mattered. Had wigan been more ''play it as you see it'' in that grand final, the scoreline at halftime would probably have been reversed and wigan would have gone on to be champions. The 2014 GF was a gimme had wigan not gone out with the ''knock em out'' mentality.

Wanes cost wigan 2 grand finals.

Would you rather have 1 season where you won the treble and then the next season played in the middle 8's, or 2 seasons where you were up there but won nothing?

Course you wouldn't pal, I mean you must only just be back watching the Rhinos these past two seasons since Ryan Bailey moved on.

Good for you having morals.
