Warrington Wolves vs Leigh Leopards preview

Warrington Wolves have been the surprise package of the new Super League season and they should have no issue beating rivals Leigh Leopards for the second time in a week.

Sam Burgess' team fell short of expectations last season and missed out on the playoffs after finishing eighth. The Wire scored only 480 points in 27 games, yet after six matches this season, they have already posted 225.

Forty-two of those points came against Leigh last week in the Rivals Round and it is hard to see the Leopards turning things around quickly, even if their players are fired up and desperate to reach a semi-final.

The hosts have scored 37.5 points per game so far in Super League and they should be able to cover the handicap against a side who have lost four in a row away from home. Leigh were beaten 54-0 by Wigan Warriors during that time and Warrington's squad will be even stronger than last week, with Cai Taylor-Wray and Kelepi Tanginoa returning.

Earlier in the day, Hull KR face York Knights in what should be a routine success for the hosts. The Robins overlooked York in the opening round and paid the price, but Willie Peters' team are starting to show signs of the 2025 team who won the treble after a sloppy start.

They have won four of their last five in all competitions, scoring 160 points during those victories, and York should fall short.

However, the Knights have not lost by more than 32 points all season and their attack is good enough to help them cover the handicap.
