Super League: Round 6 - Warrington Wolves v Hull KR

Warrington Wolves v Hull KR (+8/12pts)

I've had my eye on this fixture all week. With Warrington's indifferent form and recent injuries to our two preferred half backs, I was intrigued by what the bookmakers would go for, especially taking into consideration KR's formidable start to the campaign.It's a big ask for Warrington to beat any side by 12pts these days, more so at home believe it or not......their problem over the past few years has been the inabilty to produced the goods, killer instinct if you like, against the so called the smaller clubs. In 2006, when being favourites at the Haliwell Jones Stadium, the Wires choked each and every time....

With Chris Bridge and Lee Briers out, it's hard to see Warrington having the creativity & skill to break the KR defence too often, thus being unable to pull away.

Word of caution: Many will fancy Warrington to get their stop/start season back on track on Sunday. After last year's embarrasing defeat & challenge cup exit, no team would enjoy bursting Hull KR's overinflated bubble than the Wolves.
