How do you see Saints vs Hull K.R. going?
00:17
It's an interesting one. Like you mentioned, they've both won all three games, they've
00:21
played the same opponents so far, Kass, Wakey, Salford, and you say that the strength of
00:29
their opponents hasn't been top tier, they haven't played Wigan, Warrington, those kinds
00:35
of teams. So it's a great chance for both sides to see where they're at and a true gauge
00:40
of the progress so far. St Helens saw them at Wakefield last week, they looked strong,
00:47
they obviously had a tough season last season but still made the playoffs, they've made
00:50
the playoffs every year. So a tough season for St Helens, they're finishing fifth or
00:54
sixth, which most clubs would take. Hull K.R. have got injuries, they're without Rhys Martin,
01:00
someone at the start of the season I thought was probably the signing of the off-season,
01:04
I cursed him, he's out for four months now. But Hull K.R. can just revert to what worked
01:10
for them last season, they'll probably start with Dean Hadley in the second row and then
01:14
move Tanganoa there and move Hadley inside. So they've got a formula that does work, the
01:19
goal-kicking is an issue, especially in the tight game, which this could be on Friday.
01:23
Danny Richardson played very well as a stand-in last week, he's a very capable kicker. Hopefully
01:29
they'll have Tyrone Mayne and Michael Lewis back, but then that just poses the question
01:35
of who's going to take the T. Lewis did all right last season but he isn't Rhys Martin,
01:40
so that is a problem area for Hull K.R. They've got a pack to stand up to St Helens, so that's
01:47
where it'll be won and that's what Willie Peters said himself earlier in the week.
01:51
Really interesting match-up, it will be tight. It'll just come down to who wins that forward
01:58
battle and then how they stop Jack Welsby, because he's really started well for St Helens.
