HULL KR VS LEIGH LEOPARDS PREDICTION
Hull KR have developed a reputation for being formidable on home soil and that could well be key as they take on an in-form Leigh Leopards outfit. The away side are unbeaten in their last four and will fancy their chances of claiming another win in their efforts to work their way into the top six. While Rovers will take some beating on home soil and could well prevail, Leigh should be able to at least keep things tight so are worth siding with, aided by a solid start on the handicap.
HULL KR VS LEIGH LEOPARDS TIP: LEIGH LEOPARDS +10.5
