Tuesday 13th October, 19:45, Super League Round 16, Halliwell Jones Stadium, Warrington, Warrington Wolves versus Leeds Rhinos
With a Challenge Cup Final to look forward to, you could forgive Leeds for getting distracted, yet, this is a fixture that is incredibly important in the race for the top four as the business end of the season approaches. Leeds currently sit fourth with Warrington in fifth – the Rhinos having won six of their last seven games whilst the Wolves have lost three in a row, including a narrow 18-14 defeat to Wigan last weekend.
