The replacements Rhodri Lloyd, Jack Hughes, Tom Spencer, Logan Tomkins, Dom Crosby and Jack Murphy are all included in the initial squad of 19 tonight and at least four of these will be given game time.
When Wigan played away at Widnes, who are bottom of the table and had guys like this in they lost.
They have also lost twice versus Huddersfield 16-20 and Warrington 20-22 but won the rest comfortably.
I know they go into the game with 10 consecutive wins but I'd be cautious about this one, Leeds are an inconsistent side but they are hard to beat at Headingley and have their full squad available bar Centre Kallum Watkins.
I have great respect for Roxxy but felt it was worth bringing up this detail. I am a Super 'Rugby' League season ticket holder by the way.
