Huddersfield Giants vs Hull KR prediction
What a strange season it’s been so far for Hull KR, who defeated Brisbane Broncos to win the World Club Challenge, but have lost both of their regular season Super League fixtures, the most recent of those being a stunning 58-6 thrashing at the hands of Leeds Rhinos in a marquee game at Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas. All the Hull KR fans who travelled to the USA were let down and no doubt Willie Peters will want a big response from his players.
Huddersfield Giants are the only other team yet to register a single point in Super League and unlike Hull KR were widely expected to be at the wrong end of the table. Hull KR simply must pull themselves together and there’s no doubt how desperate they will have been to get back out on the field after their nightmare in the USA. Expect them to finally get on the board in Huddersfield.
