Super League: Round 5 - Hull KR v Leeds Rhinos
Hull KR v Leeds Rhinos (-8pts/10pts)
Well it has been an underdog backers paradise so far in Super League, but I think some sort of normality will resume tonight when Hull KR take on a full strength Leeds Rhinos side.
Firstly, well done to Hull KR thus far, they are proving lots of their early season critics wrong, winning 3 out of the first 4 games, most noticably their historical 16 v 26 win over Wigan at the JJB. A victory for the Robins tonight will leave them perched on top of the SL table.
But lets not get to carried away with ourselves. The Robins face a Leeds side, also sitting pretty on 6pts. Not much credited has been handed the way of them so far, but weather conditions and a blip in France havent helped their cause. Tonight in dry conditions I fully expect them to pick holes in the Hull KR defence with relative ease. Not to forgot Craven Park is a extremely open surface, a factor that lead to KR's success last year could ultimate prove their demise come September.
Their last home game lead to a 10 v 26 defeat against Harlequins, something Leeds will be taking much encouragement from.Looking at the line-ups, it is hard to see where Hull KR have the advantage.
The Racing Post followers have gobbled up the -8pts on Leeds, so im going to see for -10pts with a saver on the tie!Saturday evening rugby league viewing is costly for me and most other punters at the moment, so im sticking to a 2pt bet....although it's tempting to go a little higher.
Hull KR (from): Goddard, Netherton, Ford, Fisher, Morton, Tangata-Toa, Aizue, Morrison, Dyer, Chester, Gene, Gannon, Vella, Murrell, Cockayne, Gallagher, Bauer, Webster
Leeds (from): Webb, Donald, Toopi, Senior, Smith, McGuire, Burrow, Leuluai, Diskin, Peacock, Jones-Buchanan, Ellis, Sinfield, Lauitiiti, Thackray, Bailey, Gibson, Tansey.
Recommendation – Leeds -10pts @ ladbrokes 1.90 (2pts)
Prediction - Hull KR 16 v Leeds 36
(Scale 1-5)
Good luck all!!
