Hull KR to win at a  canter .

 

 

Please give the saints fans enough tickets as we don't want another farce.

Yep I'll go with that

[Chrispmartha]

I really want Saints to get to the final and win it after their fans have been calling for Wellens head all season.

Reminds of Leeds fans when Brian Mcdermott was in charge.

[bobbruce]

I’m happy to announce that Worzel emailed me at 10.37 last night saying HKR can’t get a team together. As such Saints will automatically qualify for the grand final. See you all at old Trafford. 

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

HKR by 12.

[up the robins]

Well looking at our 21 man squad not a single player missing, we can't have any excuses.

Expecting a close game but think the drama of last week might have drained saints, leaving a rested fresh Hull kr to take this one

Yeah a weeks rest and HKR ready to go. I expect Saints performance to be full of effort and commitment but just lack that quality to get them over the line. Maybe just maybe they can rally round last weeks finish and convince themselves their name is on the trophy. I don’t think so though HKR by 10. 

[Loiner]

May the best team win and no controversial issues. Good luck to both teams.

Wish we could say the same - first three choice wingers out (Murphy, Feldt, Dagnall) is a big blow and I'd be suprised if Percy played which could make it 4 outside backs missing.

Struggling to see who would play centre (probably Whitley which has been a disaster on more than one occasion) or how we would manage to make any ground at all early in sets.

Can't see anything other than a comfortable KR win tbh.

Again last week Saints were poor in attack for nearly all the game and I’m not sure they  will have enough points in them against the best defence in the league. Hull KR will be in control for most of the game and will win, though I think it will be a low scoring game.

The one thing this game does do is free Saints up a bit. Even last week although most on here had Leeds as favourites.I think all in the Saints camp would’ve been fairly confident they could go there and get a win. This week they are not expected to get anything out of HKR and that may just the best out of them.

Feldt missing?  Hasn't his eyelash recovered from that assault yet?

That was so so poor wasn’t it. Embarrassing.

[sam4731]

Saints by a margin small enough that someone will moan that Rovers were hard done to.

[George Watt]

Rovers by not a lot.

[dkw]

Absolutely no idea how this game will go. 2 months ago its 100% a KR win, and a comfortable on. But since then they have regressed to Saint`s level pretty much, the only difference between the 2 at the moment is KR have an actual kicking game.

Saints meanwhile have on e of the most stunted attacks Ive ever seen them have, they are absolutely clueless in the opposition 20, to a point if I was the coach of KR I would let them get there any time the wanted, knowing it would only end up as a turn over anyway.

[17 stone giant]

I hope Hull KR can do it, and I'm going to back them to do so.

18-12

 

[Waynebennettswinger]

I find it hard to argue with Paul Cooke’s take on this one, KR win with some comfort.

Saints cannot rely on defence and fitness alone to beat the top sides and we are just clueless in attack. Last week’s match winner was exceptional but I think we’d need to do that 3 or 4 times to stay in this game.

Hull KR should be well rested and Saints best chance is to go out for early scores. I just don’t see it though. 
 

KR deserve to be in the final, best team all year, they just need to play the percentages and stay composed.

[sam4731]

I think Saints' best chance is if Rovers are up by 6 with 5 seconds to go.

They don't score very well in the first 79.9 minutes of a game.

[Wilderspoolmemories]

Rovers by 10.

[Josef K]

I would expect Rovers to win, but id better not say who id like to win.

HKR have more pace and a far better kicking game, i expect them to pepper Sailor with ‘up n under’s’ and also aim some at Bennison. 

[fieldofclothofgold]

Hull KR have been bit nervous of late ,but this season they are a better team than St Helens. I think they will win comfortably 

[Faithful1865]

Tonight I'll be a saint, but more in hope than expectation.  Wigan for the big one though.
