On the back of their golden point disappointment against Catalans Dragons, Hull KR hit back in fine style as their quick start put to bed any potential nerves and they claimed a relatively comfortable success against Hull FC.

LEEDS RHINOS VS HULL KR PREDICTION
Leeds Rhinos will hope a fresh direction can aid an upturn in form as Brad Arthur takes charge of his first game. He was present last week but only had minimal input having only landed in the country a few hours before the game with Warrington Wolves. He now faces an in-form Hull KR side that have lost just one of their last six games so it will be a difficult task for the new boss and while Rovers look set to win again, it is worth siding with the hosts with the aid of a start on the handicap.
LEEDS RHINOS VS HULL KR TIP: LEEDS RHINOS +6.5
