Super League Betting: Wolves chance to win at Headingley
“Leeds lost at the Halliwell Jones earlier this season and their good run, and record at Headingley against the Wolves, look in jeopardy on Friday night.”
Once again it’s Bank Holiday or bust for some of Super League’s prime movers and punters. Stuart Jones selects the best bets.
The Bank Holiday weekend means Betfair punters have the chance to trade three live games in-running, the first of which is Friday evenings clash between
The Rhinos’ rotten luck with injuries this season shows no sign of abating. Centre Keith Senior is the latest to be ruled out, reportedly for the remainder of the season, and despite both men being named in the squad, question marks still hang over the fitness of full back Brent Webb and stand off Danny Maguire.
