ST. HELENS VS HULL KR PREDICTION
St. Helens will be eager to build some momentum ahead of the play-offs, especially as they are still not secure in the top six with Leigh Leopards and Leeds Rhinos still in with a chance of overhauling them. They were poor in last week’s game with Wigan Warriors and now run into table-topping Hull KR. The visitors have won their last six and will take some beating here so back them to extend their winning streak.
