Burrow can rip you apart from 7 too, either by nipping into dummy half or taking it at first receiver.



I think we'll miss McGuires backing up a hell of a lot. Burrow does it, but not as well

Alot rests on 2 areas for me, winning the ruck (to achieve a quick play the ball and lots of scoots from Burrow). Other general kicking game, pen them back and a quick line speed in defence.



Very similar to how we set up in the semi. Do the above well and we can be confident.

We need to win the ruck defensively as much as in attack. That's the area we've looked weakest in pretty much every time I've seen us play this year.

Think we have an outside chance tonight but not feeling anywhere near as confident as when we played Wire last year.



Our chances could be lifted with the rumours that Tomkins may miss the game but its probably just that.

I've heard he's been having sleepless nights.

At the thought of TMFMISL bearing down on him after steamrolling through the wigan defensive line??

Indeed.



Get a few high kicks up, let's see if he's watching the ball or peeking at who's going to smash him.

Sam Tomkins out apparently.

Hmmm, heard this all over... I won't believe it until I see the team sheet tonight..

Mind Games.

Not sure what the benefit is/would be of mind games. The only game plan you can really make for Sam Tomkins is to kick high, chase well and try to stop him before he gets going.



The usual thing to do with a stand-in full back is kick high to him and chase well. So probably the same tactics. Helps Leeds' cause if he doesn't play, but Wigan are still the better side on paper. Plus, how much training will we realistically be doing this afternoon? Hardly going to disrupt our preparations is it?

Tomkins is out for at least 4 weeks

If its not true about Sam Tomkins being out who would be sad enough to start a rumour like that !!!
