Discuss Warrington Wolves v Leeds Rhinos here.

If Warrington can cope with the Leeds pack they've got a decent chance.

The absence of Widdop offsets the absence of Gale but Wire probably have the edge in the backs.

One day extra rest for Warrington could be crucial.

[Sir Kevin Sinfield]

Hats off to both Warrington and Leeds for taking the field again, with both having  plenty of players in the England v All Stare game, they didn’t hold back/withdraw them from that game. This will be their 4th game in 11 days playing Friday, Sunday, Thursday and Monday, it’s a ridiculous toll to put on the players and clubs.

Well at this stage I've got to say Warrington 

[MZH]

Can't really see anything other than a comfortable Warrington win, but I'm hoping Leeds can cause an upset.

[Alffi 7]

Shame Tetevano is missing, would be good to see a full strength Leeds pack vs a full strength Wire pack.

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Wire by 8 - given that both sides must be knackered, can't see this as being the most inspiring game of the season!

[Cheshire Setter]

Close game, both teams missing a key player or two and both backing up from a busy period.

Not making a prediction but hope the better weather makes for a decent game.

Well I'm down at the bottom of Cheshire about 30 miles away, but I think Warrington is the same as here - warm and dry for the whole day.

[Barry Badrinath]

Its been raining off and on most of today

[The Frying Scotsman]

Wire should be comfortable here.

While it would probably be better for Hull FC if Leeds caused an upset, cheering them on just doesn't feel right.

So, in spite of Dave T's recent decision to nail his second team's colours to the Rervers' mast, I'll be reasonably pleased if Wire come up trumps.

[Chrispmartha]

Pretty even matched sides - on paper. Warrington have the better halves snd centres, so should win this one, think both sides will be tired though.

Im going to go with my team here Rhinos by 6

[M j M]

Quite excited by this one, shame it's affected by the volume of games being played although both sides have had a pretty similar schedule and commitments.

Wonder if this is the game where this tough young Leeds team suddenly gets noticed by people outside Headingley.

Warrington are the form team of the comp so a win here for Leeds would make people sit up and take notice. Can’t see it though.

If Gale was playing id be more confident, however we have shown some good signs lately

[Dunbar]

I see that Brian has has taken on the challenge from Phil and raised the bar.

[M j M]

No Hurrell is a big blow. He was supposed to be fit again after that HIA.

Edit. Just noticed he's on the bench. Scary prospect.

If the ref shouts 'held! release him', surely there has to be some consequence if the defence then picks up the man with the ball and pushes him back 5m?

[Old Frightful]

Terrific start to this one but Leeds must be wondering how they're not in front, they've looked fairly dominant up to now.

Wire bomb a golden chance, hope it keeps like this.

[Old Frightful]

Flying pig looks to have lost a yard or two.

[Old Frightful]

Josh Charnley won't want to see that try again.

[Dunbar]

Enjoying this game.  What a prop Oledzki is, hope Holroyd develops just as well.

[Hughsehhh]

Leeds playing well here
