Leeds by 6.

Short turnaround 

[Leeds Wire]

Williams is in the squad for the first time so I expect he'll line up with Austin in the halves as Widdop is still out.

Philbin and J Clark are out injured but magic Matty Ashton is back, which is fantastic news.

Leeds too good for everyone; they'll win this one easily!

It won't be easy, and how the two teams cope with recovery from ridiculously short turnarounds will be important, but it's certainly likely Leeds will continue to be competitive.

Which we all know is really upsetting for some Saints fans with ongoing PTSD.

We might not take their crown, but the so called halo? Now that's a other thing

Yep, that could be the killer. The good thing is that Warrington are not having it much easier themselves. Hopefully the extra 24 hours will not be too much of an advantage.

Last time we met they had the extra day again. The difference was they were, again, coming off a tough win vs Wigan and Leeds had breezed by Leigh at home so that sort of levelled out some of the energy advantage. Last night's win over Hull required quite a bit more from the tank I feel.

[GeordieSaint]

Now now Leeds fans. Play nicely! If MjM is correct, I'm already having nightmares and breaking out in cold sweats about the thought of us vs you in another GF!!

For what it is worth, SL needs a strong Leeds side to be successful. Biggest club in the league (but whisper that quietly otherwise you'll give Redvee members aneurysms!)...

... so good to see you beating the cannon fodder again!

Leeds bubble to be burst in this one I feel.

Austin to put on a show both to impress his new employers and to outshine Williams?

Wire were at 60% at best, if tbey play to form they are a step above Leeds but need to be at that level.

I hope he makes a decent run of games if not the whole season. However he does give the appearance of a player with bones and ligaments made of biscuits

Yeah I'm interested in how it plays out. I'm expecting Williams to be very rusty though 

[Ullman]

A Sunday night game on Sky feels like a bit of a bonus and I'm really looking forward it but the short turnaround will surely have an impact. You'd expect that to particularly affect Leeds with 24 hours less recovery. Thought they looked a very fit side on Thursday but they spent a hell of a lot of energy winning that game.

[M j M]

No Leeming for Leeds is a big blow.

I so hope he looks like you suggest he might....

Crowd looks and sounds a bit sparse despite what Sky are saying.

Brilliant hands from Myler.
