Round Two - Wigan Warriors 20-06 Leeds Rhinos - Match Thread

i took it as though if the last two games were mid season and the wcc were mid season, he would have rested players for the games against wigan and hull kr in order for them to be fully fit for the manly game.

as this is the start of the season, he wants a big advantage as possible over the aussies, which meant playing a few players last night who were already carrying knocks i.e sinfield, leuluai and jjb

This was a very intriguing game. The Warriors deserved the win. They defended immensely well and their attack was potent. I think the Rhinos lacked some confidence and ideas and couldn't cope with the pressure put on them by Wigan.
I wouldn't be too concerned if I was a Rhinos fan. Leeds will get better as the season progresses and they will be the ones to beat come the playoffs.
