Weather in Leeds: The weather for Friday in Leeds is looking okay, even if it is a bit nippy. Throughout the day the Met Office are predicting sunny intervals, with highs of sixteen degrees, and lows of four. The temperature for the game is expected to be around the ten to twelve degree region. Wigan fans: If you haven’t been to Headingley before, the away end (Western Terrace) isn’t covered, but there is little chance of rain.


In other Rhinos news; It has been announced that Leeds will play the Catalan Dragons in 2010’s Magic Weekend at Murrayfield. It’s a disappointing draw for many who have already booked for what is planned to be a ‘magic’ weekend. The draw in full follows;


Catalans Dragons v Leeds
Wigan v St Helens
Warrington v Hull KR
Wakefield v Bradford
Hull FC v Castleford
Salford v Harlequins
Huddersfield v Celtic Crusaders

Also, Carl Ablett has come out and said to the Yorkshire Evening Post today that the fans can roar the side to the Grand Final. He is urging fans to be the eighteenth fan ahead of the meeting with Wigan, and also explains how much the team enjoy playing at Headingley, and what an advantage playing at home really makes. Fans are going to have to create even more of an atmousphere this Friday though as the front half of the South Stand will be closed to fans, due to safety issues. That means supporters who wish to spectate in the South Stand will have to reserve their ticket extra early, as spaces are limited.
