Leeds half-back Burrow ready for Wigan 'cracker'
Thursday 9 July 2015 11:26, UK
Leeds half-back Rob Burrow says he is expecting Thursday night's Super League clash against Wigan to be a "cracker".
The Rhinos come into the game three points clear at the top of the table following their 46-18 drubbing of St Helens at Headingley, but Wigan return to action after their recent 17-6 dismissal by Warrington.
Wigan beat Leeds 27-12 in their Magic Weekend clash back in May but Burrow claims revenge will not be the main goal when the two teams line-up at the DW Stadium.
Speaking to Sky Sports News HQ, Burrow said: "Every game is big at this stage of the season but none comes bigger than Wigan away.
"Obviously we are rival teams playing each other and it should be a cracker.

"There is no score to settle we don't won't to get our own back or anything like that, but obviously we want to play well because they did beat us last time and did a pretty good job on us. So we want to play well and perform well enough to get the win.
"Last time we played Wigan they came off the back of a bad loss so they will be wanting to rectify their recent defeat against a team like Leeds.
“We need to be on our guard and take our good win against St Helens forward and keep that momentum going.”
There are a number of Australians in the Leeds squad and Burrow expects there to be plenty of banter in the dressing -room during the Ashes series.
He added: "Any sport where England and Australia are playing against each other there is always banter but hopefully we can have the smiles and they be down a bit."
