THE TEAM NEWS
LEEDS RHINOS
- Leeds Rhinos were able to carry on where they left off in their previous outing against Castleford Tigers as they came out on top of an ill-tempered affair with Salford Red Devils at the weekend.
- The Rhinos are now counting the cost of that win having lost several key men to injuries and suspensions which has seen Richard Agar name a youthful looking squad for this clash as Leeds attempt to keep the pressure on the top six.
21-man squad: L. Briscoe, T. Briscoe, Broadbent, Donaldson, Dwyer, Edwards, Gannon, Hall, Holroyd, Leeming, Lui, Martin, McLelland, Mellor, O’Connor, Oledzki, Prior, L. Sutcliffe, Tindall, Vuniyayawa, Walters
Unavailable: Jack Walker, Harry Newman, Cameron Smith, Ash Handley, Alex Sutcliffe, Zane Tetevano, Luke Gale, Konrad Hurrell, Richie Myler, Bodene Thompson
Questionable: Rob Lui
LEIGH CENTURIONS
- Leigh Centurions once again came up short as their winless streak in Super League continued with Warrington Wolves proving to be too good for them last week in what was another poor defensive showing.
- An under-strength Warrington side were able to post 44 points to make it 108 conceded in two games for the bottom side who have now lost all 12 of their matches to begin this campaign.
20-man squad: Bell, Brand, Brierley, Gee, Gerrard, Hellewell, Hood, Ioane, Mason, Mellor, Mullen, Peats, Peteru, Russell, Sa’u, Sidlow, Thompson, Thornley, Tierney, Wildie
Unavailable: Tom Spencer, Blake Wallace, Ben Flower, Brendan Elliot, Ben Reynolds, Tyrone McCarthy
Questionable: Keenan Brand
THE PREDICTION
Leigh Centurions’ wait for a Super League win continued as they were beaten for the 12th
game in succession. Warrington Wolves exploited the Centurions
defensively as their poor run of form, particularly defensively,
continued although they will once again believe that they can capitalise
here. They take on a weakened Leeds Rhinos side who will be missing
some key men for this clash and while the Centurions could be very
competitive in this one, a win looks hard to put next to their name at
present but another high-scoring encounter is likely with over 46.5
points set to be scored.
