WARRINGTON WOLVES have reignited their Super League rivalry with Leigh Leopards after taking a hilarious jibe at the latter.
The two infamously went head-to-head on Twitter last season when Warrington joked about the Leopards looking more like Jaguars.
And now the Wolves’ social media team has gone after ‘Leeto the Leopard’ – Leigh’s mascot – once more, posting on X: “BEWARE! Sightings of jaguars in the local area. Keep a lookout…”

Not to be outdone, the Leopards responded with their own post on X, replacing the ‘Leigh Leopards’ name on the Warrington fixture list to ‘Jacksonville Jaguars’.
Leigh posted on X: “Had a quick check on @WarringtonRLFC website, that explains that then…”
