Rhinos to win by a single score margin in front of noisy 'home' support at Elland Road.

Should be a good game with Leeds picking up some form. From our side we should have a pretty strong team to choose from, with only the long termers Wrench & Hayes missing with probably Fitzgibbon also unavailable. Should be pretty fresh after resting plenty vs London.

Be interesting what Burgess does with Bateman. I’d have Nicholson, Fitzgibbon & Currie all starting before him, but guessing he will line up in the second row with Fitzgibbon succumbing to injury.

 

Whos missing for Leeds?

Not sure it's fair to say Leeds have picked up form - it's only a week since we were bemoaning another poor performance at Salford. This will be another genuine test and I'd expect Warrington to take more advantage of Leeds weaknesses (especially lack of props) than Wigan did.

For Leeds Oledzki, Holroyd, Handley will be missing, the two props are the real issue that makes me think Wire will get on top.

I think Wire have issues too. They didn't perform that well in London and conceded a few too many points for comfort. I also think the addition of Bateman may have upset a settled squad. He's a quality player but it will take time to re-establish the understanding between players again.

Agreed, Leeds definitely rode their luck against Wigan, plenty of dropped ball gave Wigan the possession, and defenders running out of the line to cover saved them on more than one occasion. They need to improve to win again.

Can only see a Warrington win not sure about the home advantage for Leeds as I think the pitch size will be their undoing with the pace Wire have all over it could be a bit of a miss match.

Leeds put in the first 80 minute performance in ages last week. Hopefully they carry that through here. Every game is essentially a final now in the race for 6th.

Yeah, the gaps between games are longer than they used to be (golden point?) and why not hype up another sport?
