THE PREDICTION
It is a quick turnaround since the last round for both Wigan and Leeds and it will be the Rhinos who are feeling the fresher coming into this game. They may not have won at the DW for eight years but they are looking forward a third win in a row and will benefit from an extra day of rest compared to the Warriors.
The hosts are coming off an emotional and physical 26-2 loss to rivals St Helens so they will be fired up to respond. They miss a handful of players including the suspended Willie Isa and need to pick themselves up quickly following that game on Friday. That may be easier said than done however and with this Leeds team looking to cement their place in the top six, there are a number of factors going forward the Rhinos. Consider the visitors +2 here.
