Leeds Rhinos and Warrington Wolves face off in the Super League play-off semi-final at Headingley, with both sides aiming to reach the Grand Final at Old Trafford.

Leeds enter the fixture following two home defeats against Wigan and Hull FC, closing their regular campaign with three losses in five matches. Head coach Brad Arthur remains unfazed by the inconsistent run, stating his side are ready to find their best version for the full 80 minutes. Leeds last reached a Grand Final in 2022 under Rohan Smith, who took over mid-season after Richard Agar's departure.

Warrington earned their semi-final spot by defeating reigning champions Hull KR 35-12 in the eliminator, with Matty Ashton scoring a hat-trick. Sam Burgess' side finished third on points difference after winning nine of their last 11 matches. Burgess credited the team's recent success to staying out of the way and letting players perform.

Leeds will be without captain Ash Handley (back injury), Lachie Miller (hamstring), and Jack Bird (hamstring), with 20-year-old Fergie McCormack set to start. Arthur believes the two-week break has left his squad fresh and ready to capitalize on the opportunity.
