THE PREDICTION
Leigh Centurions finally got off the mark in Super League as they
defeated Salford Red Devils for their maiden win of the campaign at the
17th time of asking. They will hope to build on that but they
face an almighty challenge here as they go up against defending
champions St. Helens. The hosts responded to a rare defeat against
Castleford Tigers by seeing off local rivals Wigan Warriors in
comfortable fashion and they should prove to be far too good for the
Centurions in this contest with Saints able to win by at least 20
points.
