Warrington's star man: They have a team full of them, but Australian centre Jake Mamo stole the show against Wigan last week with a sparkling hat-trick. Mamo will join Castleford Tigers next season and is keen to go out on a high.

Key battle: Rhinos could move Kruise Leeming from half-back to hooker, or start with Brad Dwyer - known as their super sub - in the number nine role. Both players are in good form, but whoever starts will be up against one of the best in Wolves’ Daryl Clark, while Danny Walker is a talented option off the bench.

Warrington's form: Warrington are third in the table and have won their last six Super League games, including a 40-14 success at Wigan Warriors five days ago. They have lost only twice - with one draw - in 12 league fixtures, raising hopes this could be their year.
