Hull KR vs St. Helens prediction
Hull KR are finally set to play at Craven Park for the first time this season following ‘home fixtures’ at the MKM Stadium (World Club Challenge final) and in Las Vegas where they were pounded into the dirt by Leeds Rhinos. It’s understandable if this has played a big part in the reigning Super League champions having made such a poor start to the season, losing three of their four games.
St. Helens however, are red hot and inside the top three after winning each of their last four Super League matches and five if you include their fourth-round Challenge Cup triumph over Castleford Tigers. Paul Rowley has this team extremely well set up, hard to score against and their attacking players are performing. Whilst Hull KR on their own ground are a massive challenge, you can’t mask how poor it’s been on their part so far this campaign and an in-form Saints has to be favoured.
Hull KR vs St. Helens tip: St. Helens to win
