Thing is it's not us who have to learn anything from past defeats to them on this occasion, it's Wigan. Like I pointed out previously, this isn't being played at the DW or Magic Weekend, it's at Headingley and when was the last time they put in a "Wigan performance" at our place? 2012? They've not being able to do what they've done to us at the DW/Magic at Headingley for a few years now.
Magic Weekend they conceded 4 penalties, at the DW 5 penalties so 9 in total in those two games. At Headingley earlier in the year it was 11 penalties. That's been a key reason behind them being unbeaten at home and having a poor away record....penalties and naturally being pinged more when you're the away team.
The question is can they stop us flowing in attack without giving away too many penalties AS THE AWAY SIDE.

The penalty count in the last two games was pretty even, and low. Are you saying Leeds need a big penalty count in their favour to win? In that first game at Headingley, Wigan dropped the ball twice straight from the kick off after they scored and indeed led the game. That gave Leeds easy field position and didn't allow Wigan to build pressure. As I said earlier, I'm looking forward to this game, it should be a good test and indication of where we both really are.

He would not have caught him in his prime never mind these days
Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.

Silverwood was also the referee who failed to spot a blatant knock on by Matty Smith which resulted in Wigan scoring 6 points in the following set He also disallowed a certain try by Leeds for apparent obstruction along with his other RFL collegues on duty that night
So i'm sure you have far happier memories of him than we do

One thing I'm ALMOST certain of, Leeds won't be allowed to play tick and pass as they have done in the last few weeks. Wigan will get numbers into the tackle to slow the momentum down. Whether that'll be enough to get the job done again, I'm not sure. Leeds are playing a very entertaining brand of rugby at present, but it's up to Wigan to do that defensive job on them, just as they did at Newcastle.
And Tony Clubb's mandatory cannonball tackle in every set of six.......
