THE PREDICTION

Hull KR succumbed to a third successive loss against bitter local rivals Hull FC and that defeat also meant Rovers were unable to make it three straight Super League wins. That loss was an untimely one, impacting their hopes of securing a spot in the play-offs and they will be desperate to respond as they aim to get back on track in this clash with Wakefield Trinity. The visitors could not build on their shock win over Warrington Wolves as they were edged by Castleford Tigers last time out but they look like a different side following Chris Chester’s departure and while they may not be able to come out on top in this one, they should prevail with the benefit of a +10.5 start.
