Wakefield Trinity vs Hull KR prediction
Hull KR have been forced to stew on that desperately disappointing Challenge Cup final defeat at the hands of Wigan Warriors last weekend at Wembley and you would expect them to look at taking out their frustrations on Wakefield Trinity. But if there’s one thing we’ve learned this season, it’s that the hosts won’t be bullied. They’ve won eight of 12 so far this campaign and a smarting Hull KR are in for a stiff examination.
However, Willie Peters’ men haven’t become a bad side overnight. Wembley was a huge disappointment but Peters will have them fired up and ready for the fight here. They remain an excellent team and Mikey Lewis in particular will be chomping at the bit to get out and add to his 13 tries so far in Super League this season. He’s currently averaging over a try per game and is well worth backing to increase that tally during this latest match.
Wakefield Trinity vs Hull KR tip: Mikey Lewis to score a try anytime
