Hull KR-16. 5

Nice fixture for Rovers i think they can win this easily.

Catalans have started the season pretty much in the same way they ended it- on awful form really struggling. Its early days ofcourse but a change of manager and a few new signings doesnt seem to have made much of a difference. The French were one of the poorest sides in Cardiff on day 1 and performed even worse at home to Wakey last weekend.

There is a lot of experience and some good players in that squad. But this side does not seem to have great spirit and their defending is hopeless at times.

Hull Kr are a side i really like the look of. Very strong and poweful but more importantly excellent in defence. The passion they have is second to none- every player loves playing for manager Morgan- they would run through a brick wall for him. I think they can really push on this season and go for prizes, if top players stay fit.


We seen them outplay bitter rivals Hull on day 1 and follow that up with a good performance at a quality Warrington side. Rovers really should have won that game.

Catalans took some right hammerings on the road last season and im expecting the same here. Rovers will have the crowd right behind them as it is their 1st home match of the season and everyone is on a high due to the form the side have shown already and in pre season.

Catalans do tend to turn in some very poor performances on the road- we seen them crushed here last season. They make so many silly errors at times and the discipline can be woeful. I expect Rovers forwards to be on top here and with Dobson and now Green the home side have plenty of quality behind them.

Im sure we will see another top performance from Welham. This guy is one of the most underrated players in super league and he will be up against a Dragons defence thats pretty weak on the right edge.
