I don’t know what the crack is with Broadbent, but I was sat near him and a few other Leeds fringe players at Hunslet a couple of weeks back and when someone mentioned Jack Sinny, Broadbent’s reply was 'who, the f****ng prince of Headingley'. Take from that what you will......

Very interesting. He may have a point, but if that’s got back to management it would explain why he’s not playing tonight…..

I agree we have a better squad than last year equally we are pretty near to the team we are putting out tonight that wasn`t classed as a top 6 team last year.
I`m not holding out for a win but would have felt confident with those 7 playing tonight.

Maybe theyve gone with tindal for his speed

Yeah if they can give him good cover and get him some early ball im intrigued. Did he get much preseason I cant remember?

Yes and he looked good imo

With field we need speed if he breakd through

I don't buy into the Broadbent rumours, it's just horses for courses. Field and Marshall are both rapid, I think that's why it's Tindall on wing instead.

If that has got back to management, it wouldn't reflect well on his attitude. I seem to remember on one of the pre season videos on YT he said "I don't want to be playing at Fev, I want to be playing at Leeds" which in fairness, is probably his ultimate feeling. I just found it slightly disparaging to Featherstone..

Hardaker on the wing, Partington onto the bench, otherwise the Wigan lineup is the same as last week.


Is Tindall better under a high kick than Broadbent? With the weather being what it is, that could have played into the decision. Reckon there'll be a lot of bombs to the wingers.

He seems a good lad. I just took that comment as a young player trying to create a strong message that he's here to get a spot at leeds.
