I said on the VT before the season that Leeds would be back this season, because you can't keep a champion club down, and got laughed at - even by Leeds fans. Doesn't really matter that they have had personnel changes, the club (like us and Saints) have a culture that breeds resilience and success when it matters most.

I 100% want us to finish 4th and go to Cas. Mainly because it gives us a chance to put right a few wrongs from earlier in the season but I also genuinely feel their ar$e would drop out if an in-form Wigan went there (their fans won't admit it, but they aren't the ones running out onto the pitch...).

Beat Hull & Wakey and it won't matter what happens in the Cas S-8 fixture at home IMO.

I'd leave Tautai out. I've been saying it for a while now but his performances haven't been good enough since that new deal was signed and he gave away a couple of ridiculous penalties at Saints last week.

I'd go-

Tomkins
Davies Gelling Gildart Burgess
Williams Leuluai
Sutton McIlorum Tomkins
Bateman Farrell Lockers

Subs
Clubb Isa Nuuausala Powell

You will stick 40 past Wakey. I suspect you will be facing Cas Academy given that they will have a semi final the following week.

Has the old guard moved on? Obviously there is movement every year, but they still have McDermott as coach, with Wakins, Hall, Maguire, Burrow, JJB, Delaney, Ablett and Ward out on the pitch. That's a massive amount of play off experience which Cas can't match. I'd say, rather than 2015, this is actually the last campaign for the Leeds old guard, before Maguire, Burrow and JJB move on.

Joel is not Wigan standard
