Leeds on Friday will give us a true reflection on how far we've come over the past 12 months. A win would keep confidence going and get us further away from the chasing pack...a defeat wouldn't be a disaster but if we're to win the league then we have to back up our good results/ performances starting away at Leeds.

I think we're due a win there but that means diddly-squat I guess....

A win there really puts a marker in the sand, especially after away wins at Worriers and Stains. The confidence through the team (and fans) will rocket, further.

Confidence is a wonderful thing
Lets go back to the start of the season
Crushed at Cardiff, then scraped a win against HKR. Imagine if we'd lost that Rovers game, we'd have then have to face Stains, Worriers away and Leeds at home on the back of two defeats. Not good for the mind.

Come on Wire.

I quite enjoy going to Headingley, although not so much on a Friday night, much prefer a sunny Sunday afternoon. So I was surprised to see how awful our record there is, apart from the playoff win:

14/05/2010 Leeds 26 V 16 Warrington
01/08/2009 Leeds 24 V 22 Warrington
11/04/2008 Leeds 32 V 12 Warrington
01/06/2007 Leeds 42 V 26 Warrington
01/09/2006 Leeds 54 V 16 Warrington
11/03/2005 Leeds 38 V 6 Warrington
07/05/2004 Leeds 23 V 10 Warrington
29/08/2003 Leeds 34 V 26 Warrington
06/07/2003 Leeds 30 V 20 Warrington
04/07/2002 Leeds 22 V 23 Warrington
31/08/2001 Leeds 16 V 12 Warrington
22/06/2001 Leeds 24 V 24 Warrington
23/06/2000 Leeds 28 V 24 Warrington

Last league match won there was that one in 2002!

The Leeds game is really important for both clubs. For them its their opportunity to put their bad first half of the season behind them and take some confidence into rest of the year. For us its the chance to double up on the 3 times champions and the feel good factor that comes with any win at Headingley. Should be a belter.

Don't forget Seb, when the 'kickings' started 04ish, we were 'typical Warrington' , whilst Leeds were getting on a roll.

Time for a reversal of fortune at Sheddingley

Two great teams,should be a cracker,cant wait!!

could have a massive impact in our rein for grand final success,but feeling more than convinced we can do the job...

Should win this one

I agree. Leeds are soft at home this season so far, struggling to get on top of the lesser teams as well as the good sides. They seem happier away from home.

So they've got 1-13 excluding Senior
No excuses for them, then!

im confident.. but then again i was confident for Catalan and Hull.

Leeds still have a good set of players... i dont think it will be an easy game.

Not had an easy game at Headingley since the 50 point drubbing in '86 including a Mark Roberts hat-trick. One of the finest away performances by any Wire side I've seen in 40+ years. Any win there is a bonus.

Should be good viewing. Wire are favorites of course, but Leeds have improved over the past few weeks. With yourselves away at Leeds, and Hull FC entertaining Huddersfield, plus Wigan against KR. There could be some movement at the top of the table this weekend.

Yup, us putting daylight between ourselves and the chasing pack.

Clarke and Blythe out for me

BBC is predicting rain for Friday evening...don't forget to pack your cagoules!
