I hope not anyway.

With it being an away game it probably won't be too bad. If we were at home might be a different story. Our next home game is likely to be week 1 of the 8's and if the starting backs make if through the cup game unscathed then he won't be picked I imagine.

Welcome to Wanes world. Nobody has had any sympathy for Wigan when they have had similar numbers out of a few occasions this season. It is what it is, Leeds just have to get on with it.
As we found the youngsters will give loads of enthusiasm and could be good experience in the long term.

So having lots of injuries is now known as being in "Wane's World"

Wow.

Under duress I am going tomorrow. I can think of a few hypothetical scenarios behind walker's non signing, however would hope he gets no stick. He is 17 and it will hurt a young weak team away against the side with the best players in the league, IMO. Obviously they have had loads of injuries and not played well but on paper their best 17 are better than anyone else, in my view.

Would hope Leeds fans encourage walker to sign the deal as best approach for both the kid, the team on the night and the club in general. An imaginative song like walker, walker sign the deal, walker sign the deal etc, assuming he plays which I doubt.

think he'll get an odd but bit of stick but I guess most will support him

Heard Alex Sutcliffe starting at centre tomorrow. My guess is that Walker is not playing as Newman is also playing tomorrow.

Golding
Newman Keinhorst Sutcliffe Briscoe
Moon Lilley
Mullally Parcell Garbutt
JJB Ablett
Baldwinson

Oledzki Whiteley Ormondroyd Smith/Jordan-Roberts

Watching wire v Widnes. Phil Clarke "the greatest skill in rugby league is holding onto the ball in the tackle". Add in o'connor' rambling gibberish, Cummins nonsense and captain hair dye. They make Barrie Mac sound like jack Gibson

Its a dead rubber. The result matters not one iota.

The experience is invaluable however.

Think walker will be starting.

Re: RD 23 | Wigan Warriors v Leeds Rhinos : Thu Jul 20, 2017 8:37 pm  

Let's not forget both Golding and Keinhorst returned from injuries last week and certainly in terms of the latter played longer than maybe planned.

Wouldn't be surprised if one of them is missing tomorrow.

If Golding is fit why would you play Walker ahead of him after what has happened?
