Friday Night Super League

By Crafty Stan

Wigan Warriors v Hull KR



Friday 12th February 2010, 20:00GMT
Sky Sports 1 (19:30-22:30), Sky Sports HD1 (19:30-22:30)

Tonight's live game sees two of last season's success stories playing against each other. You wouldn't necessarily look upon last season as a successful season for the mighty Wigan but given their recent history it was a massive improvement and a testament to Brian Noble's good work. Hull KR however are a continually underrated force and I think they may well prove so again tonight.
 
Despite their financial woes, Rovers got off to a confident start with an easy win over Salford and will no doubt come to the recently renamed 'DW Stadium' tonight expecting to cause a minor shock. With the brilliant Michael Dobson at half-back acting as talisman I think Rovers will be highly competitive tonight. I won't go as far as to pick them to win the game as this is a very strong Wigan on home turf but I think Rovers will have enough to keep the game close.
 
I saw this game as a handicap of 4 with Wigan favourites in light of home advantage but I think the 8.5 start is too good to refuse. In round 13 of last year’s Super League Hull KR won 20-12 at Wigan and I think it could be another fairly low scorer. Skybet go Under/Over 43.5 @ 1.83 either side and I strongly recommend the Unders.
 
Good luck all and enjoy the Super League action.
 
RECOMMENDATIONS:

- 3 Points Liability LAY of Wigan -8.5 @ 1.93 (Betfair )

- 3 Points Under 43.5 @ 1.83 (Sky Bet )
