THE TEAM NEWS

HULL KR

• Hull KR come into the play-offs on a real high having snatched fourth place at the expense of Leigh Leopards after they hammered Wakefield Trinity in their final regular season game.
• Rovers have now won five games in succession and will be confident of enacting revenge for their Challenge Cup final defeat at Wembley back in August.

21-man squad: Ryan, Opacic, Kenny-Dowall, Hall, Abdull, Sue, Parcell, King, Linnett, Minchella, Litten, Kennedy, Batchelor, Storton, Keinhorst, Lewis, Senior, Luckley, Aydin, Walker, Schneider

LEIGH LEOPARDS

• Leigh Leopards pushed top of the table Wigan Warriors all the way last week but ultimately fell short and were left frustrated by a hugely controversial decision by the video referee which would have given them the lead.
• The Leopards must now dust themselves down as they aim to put that disappointment behind them and will hope to have key man John Asiata available after he was named in the 21-man squad.

21-man squad: Briscoe, Chamberlain, Charnley, Mellor, Lam, Amone, Ipape, Mulhern, Wardle, Hughes, Asiata, Nakubuwai, Reynolds, Holmes, O’Brien, Davis, Nisbet, O’Donnell, Seumanufagai, Halton, Gildart

THE PREDICTION

Hull KR and Leigh Leopards will do battle in this first round of the play-offs in what is a repeat of this year’s Challenge Cup final. Leigh prevailed on that day but the respective form of the two teams since then points to Rovers coming out on top here. They have won their last five games and with confidence high, the home side are expected to book their spot in the semi-finals.
