Hull KR vs Leeds Rhinos prediction
This will be yet another fascinating showpiece match so early in the Super League season and the spotlight once again will be on whether Hull KR can follow up their outstanding win over the Brisbane Broncos last week.
That will not be easy against this talented Leeds Rhinos team who showed positive signs last week in their comprehensive win over York most recently.
Brad Arthur's men have something to prove this season and they will be keen to put a marker down against the best team in the league over the last 12 months.
Hull KR may well have enjoyed their celebrations after the win over Brisbane but that emotional drain combined with the travel to the West Coast of the United States will make this quite a challenge for them.
We like Leeds’ chances in this match and 6.5 points on the handicap is extremely tempting.
Hull KR vs Leeds Rhinos tip: Leeds Rhinos to win with +6.5 point handicap
