Our performances away from Headingley have not been great this year. This is a real test but can't say I am confident of a result here.

Miller being back is a big bonus.

[WN83]

Miller is a huge in for Leeds. I thought Wire looked like they could be struggling for points in games during that first half at Saints but they did get the attack going a bit second half. I think the Warrington absences of the likes of Williams, King and a couple of forwards could take a bit of a toll here though. 

Leeds by 8

[Thunder Road]

Leeds by 16

[Fevrover]

Wire by 12,  but two teams hard to predict.

I think this is our challenge. Consistently scoring well crafted points has been a challenge for us. We are very reliant on individual skill and effort at the moment rather than our structures going great in attack. 

Getting the wins is the important thing right now and we are doing that, but hopefully our halves can settle in and we can start to get some consistency in the spine.

I have no idea on tonight, but im really looking forward to it.

I very nearly posted just before half time in the Saints game to say I couldn't see Wire scoring more than a try, if that and that they were reminding me of how Wigan were at your place. That was really game but with the absences of some key players blunting the attack and leading to a lack of belief. Wire got that try just before half time and that flipped the game and gave them some confidence with the ball but I could see problems against the sides in better form. 

It really doesn't matter in some ways though. The attacking players will be back and to just keep showing that grit and resilience means more right now. I think Wire will do that again tonight but Leeds will probably just have an extra few points in them. 

[Loiner]

Expecting a close game here,maybe only 6-8 points in it but think home advantage will see Warrington prevail. Hope I'm wrong of course.

I wish

[hunsletgreenandgold]

A genuine 50/50 game - which means there's a blow out score incoming. 

 

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Wire by 8 - potential to be the game of the round.

[FearTheVee]

First neutral game I've really looked forward to this year other than the CCF and SoO games tbh.

Can't really call it, the way it should be.

[Barry Badrinath]

either way, i reckon it'll be 6 to 8 points, close game.

 

Wire will need to handle miller better so we dont get sucked in and leave sivo for a one metre barge over.

[Futtocks]

Lovely 40/20 from Leon "Purple" Hayes.

[tiffers]

Unconventional if nothing else.

Somebody has learned the lesson from the disallowed try at Wigan. 

[Click]

Completely agree with the try but I was quite surprised it only took about 30 seconds for the VR to confirm it, very unlike our referees

He still has to be there to get hold of it.

Handley making his opposite number look a bit foolish there

[Futtocks]

Excellent try.

[Dave T]

Good first 10 or so for us, All Leeds this last 10. Too pedestrian when we had territory and possession im afraid.

[WN83]

Got a bet on Handley score a try anytime. It would be nice if he could finish one himself, rather than setting them up via various means. 

Wire just looking a bit clunky in attack.

We"ll only get away so long with Currie controlling everything. Even though he's having a great season, he isnt creative, or fast, amd we are over-using him imo.

I dont understand this rule anymore
