Potentially a real humdinger of a game this one. 

Can see this one getting tasty with KR taking out a narrow home win.

[Snowys Backside]

Hull KR comfortably  

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

HKR by 6. A good test for Sam Burgess in his SL debut season as a coach, but I think that Wire will just come up short.

[graveyard johnny]

gonna watch this game but base it on my viewer habits for the rest of the season- if it's as dire as the rest of the stop start error and penalty strewn fayre served up by SL so far then its NRL  only for me as don't have time for both this year and the gulf in the 2 comps is worlds apart as was evident in NRL round 1 last week

Williams back and partnering Hayes.   Should be a chance to see where Warrington are at defensively, and if they can finally put in an 80 minute performance.   Th attack will take a little more time, but it's coming together in very small patches.

Would think HKR will win by one or two scores based on the first few matches.

[Old Frightful]

Let's hope last week's home wins across the board is reversed this week!

[Liverpool Rover]

The defence has been good but against a team with Warringtons firepower the attack is definitely going to need an improvement but I think it will be a very narrow home win.

l knew we could "COUNT" on you oh obsessed one.

[George Watt]

I will go for a Warrington win. They are my second team in the UK game and I have been following them for over 75 years.

[Reliant Robin]

Going to be a close one, Rovers attack really isn't clicking at the moment but hoping for a tight win with big sell out crowd getting behind the team

[Worzel]

Williams being back will make a big difference to Wire's attack. Going to be a close one but hopefully the home atmosphere will tip the balance.

Agreed...until the pitches dry up then will own every game at their place

To be honest, I think Rovers will win this. At this time of year, NCP isn’t a great place to visit for opposing players and fans so I expect Wire to come up short and maybe by a fair bit.

[JohnM]

In my view, Williams return is key. He provides a sort of fixed point which the team plays off,  is a defacto leader, and can play rugby, too. 

But then again, my tipping record is er...not quite 100%.

If that nithering easterly is as cold as it was at Aldbrough this morning, they're in for a real treat.

At least it should dry out the Marfleet marshland a bit.

Two teams with identical records makes it hard to call. I don't know what to make of Warrington yet, they have won the games you would expect. They did ok against Catalans but will have seen it as a missed opportunity playing against 12 men for 40 minutes. I liked what I saw of Hull KR in weeks 1 and 2 but they were quite error-ridden last week.

I'd back Hull KR but with limited confidence!

Williams.

Fitzgibbon  seems to think no one's allowed to tackle him.

I'm so rarely right that I savour the moment.

Dufty wanted absolutely nothing to do with that.

Great finish … worst haircut ever
