Always a tough game for Leeds, although it always seems to be at Headingly where the Wildcats spring their surprises. I can't look past Leeds, although their players might slowly begin to turn their heads toward the up and coming WCC clash...
 
The Wakefield forwards will have to go some to nullify that Leeds pack and provide a platform for Brough & Rooney.
