THE TEAM NEWS
HULL KR
- Hull KR pushed Catalans Dragons all the way on their trip to the south of France last time out but they failed to build on a solid lead in that contest and ultimately succumbed to a late defeat.
- Rovers will have been content with their showing owing to the time that they had spent on the sidelines due to numerous postponements and despite blowing the strong position of a 14-point lead in that game, they will believe that they can avenge that loss back on home soil.
20-man squad: Abdull, Crooks, Hadley, Hall, Johnson, Kenny-Dowall, King, Lawler, Linnett, Litten, Maher, Milnes, Minikin, Mustapha, Parcell, Quinlan, Sims, Storton, Takairangi, Vete
Unavailable: Elliot Minchella, Ethan Ryan
Questionable: Korbin Sims
CATALANS DRAGONS
- Catalans Dragons made it 11 consecutive Super League wins thanks to what was ultimately a comfortable victory on the scoreboard against Wakefield Trinity last week but the French side were guilty of making it more difficult than it needed to be.
- The Dragons were sloppy in possession and blew numerous chances to run away with the score but that leaves head coach Steve McNamara with something to work on ahead of this trip to Hull KR.
20-man squad: Chan, Da Costa, Drinkwater, Dudson, Franco, Goudemand, Jullien, Kasiano, Langi, Le Cam, Maloney, McIlorum, McMeeken, Mourgue, Rouge, Seguier, J. Tomkins, S. Tomkins, Whare, Yaha
Unavailable: Jason Baitieri, Ben Garcia, Arthur Romano, Matt Whitley, Julian Bousquet, Tom Davies
Questionable: Michael McIlorum
THE PREDICTION
Hull KR failed to make it four straight wins as they fell to a narrow
loss against Catalans Dragons last time out but they get the chance to
exact some immediate revenge as they take on the same side for the
second time in quick succession. Catalans have played another game since
that clash, overcoming Wakefield Trinity to retain their spot at the
top of the table having now won their last 11 games. This will be a
tough task however and with both teams having no trouble in posting
points of late, this should be an entertaining affair which should
produce at least 44 points.
