Warrington Wolves vs York Knights prediction
It cannot be understated enough just how big of a jolt this Warrington Wolves side is likely to be given by the expected return of their captain to the field. The NRL bound George Williams looked at one point like he might end up missing the rest of the season, but instead his return provides Wire with much-needed leadership and a quality presence at half-back.
Warrington had already impressed hugely over the past couple of rounds after thrashing both Castleford Tigers and Bradford Bulls, accumulating over 40 points on both occasions whilst conceding just 22 in comparison. Motivation is high as they look to keep Hull KR at bay and try to break into the top three. Against an inferior York Knights side who have lost their last two on the road, expect Sam Burgess’ side to win emphatically.
