WARRINGTON WOLVES VS LEEDS RHINOS PREDICTION
There is mixed team news for the Rhinos but the absence of Brodie Croft is a huge blow. They were comfortably outplayed the last time these two sides met five weeks ago and the loss of one of their best players will not help close that gap.
Warrington beat Leeds 30-18 but the margin of result does not tell the story. The Wolves were 24-4 up at half-time in front of the watching Brad Arthur who had just arrived in the UK that morning. As the Wolves eased off the gas, Leeds made the scoreline a bit more respectable but they were the better team by a long way.
Warrington and Sam Burgess will take delight in beating the Rhinos in Leeds and they have far too much quality for Brad Arthur’s men. With the chance to close the gap on the two teams above them, take the Wolves on the handicap to win by more than one converted try
WARRINGTON WOLVES VS LEEDS RHINOS TIP: WARRINGTON WOLVES TO WIN WITH -6 HANDICAP
