Bradford -10 v Hull KR 3pts @ 1.91 with Ladbrokes
Hull KR sit just behind Bradford in the league table and this game will guarantee the Bulls a play-off berth. I think we have been helped by the Hull KR victory at Warrington last weekend with this handicap mark. I believe the Ladbrokes compilers have read too much in to that result. To my mind Warrington looked very fatigued after their heroic attempt to defeat St.Helens the week previous and a lot of the Rovers points came in the last quarter. Prior to that Rovers have been in dismal form on their travels and already have a big defeat at Bradford in their locker.
The Bulls look to be coming back to some sort of form. A creditable close defeat at Leeds was followed by the returning Paul Deacon inspired big victory at home to Hull. Whilst I think Bradford are a long way from the team of old and I don't regard them as serious Grand Final contenders I do rate them significantly better than Hull KR. I had this one as Bradford by 14-16pts.
