After picking up six points out of six against Sheffield Scimitars last weekend, Leeds Knights 2 boss Davey Lawrence is expecting another tough test at Widnes Wild on Sunday.

Widnes hold almost exactly the same record as Knights, and Lawrence is aware that Widnes' home form this season has been exceptional.

"They've been pushing teams really close," he said. "They will be a difficult team to beat, especially on home ice. It's a strange place to play as well, it's slightly smaller.

They seem to do a lot better on home ice than they do when they're on the road.
