Match Preview

Hull KR return to Craven Park on Friday night as Super League leaders, looking to extend their dominance against a revitalised Wakefield Trinity. The Robins have been in imperious form this season, sitting top of the table with 14 wins from 15 matches and boasting a powerful points difference. Their most recent outing saw them dismantle Castleford Tigers 48-0 away from home, underlining both their attacking prowess and defensive solidity. Willie Peters’ side have been relentless, with new signings like Jared Waerea-Hargreaves and Rhyse Martin adding further steel and skill to an already potent squad.

Wakefield Trinity, meanwhile, are enjoying a dream return to Super League after a treble-winning campaign in the Championship. Under Daryl Powell, Trinity have recruited smartly, bringing in experienced campaigners like Tom Johnstone and Mike McMeeken, and have shown they are not just here to make up the numbers. Currently sitting seventh, Wakefield have eight wins from 15 and have already caused a few upsets this season. Their most recent fixture saw them narrowly lose to Wigan, but they remain a side capable of springing surprises, especially with the likes of Oliver Pratt and Caleb Hamlin-Uele impressing.

In terms of recent form, Hull KR are on a hot streak, with their only defeat coming against Wigan Warriors earlier in the campaign. They have scored freely and kept their defensive line tight, exemplified by their recent 48-0 thrashing of Castleford. Wakefield, on the other hand, have been competitive but inconsistent, picking up some notable wins but also suffering a few narrow defeats. Their resilience and ability to stay in games, however, make them dangerous opponents.

Team news is positive for Hull KR, with no major injury or suspension concerns reported ahead of this clash. Their squad depth has been a key factor in their success, allowing them to rotate without losing quality. Wakefield have also managed to keep their key players fit, and their bolstered squad means they can match most teams physically. The battle in the forwards, where Waerea-Hargreaves and McMeeken will go head-to-head, promises to be a highlight.

Key Players to Watch

• Hull KR: Mikey Lewis (top try and points scorer), Rhyse Martin (goal-kicking and back-row strength), Jared Waerea-Hargreaves (leadership and physicality), Tom Davies (powerful winger).
• Wakefield Trinity: Tom Johnstone (proven Super League finisher), Mike McMeeken (experience and work rate), Oliver Pratt (young centre with try-scoring ability), Caleb Hamlin-Uele (impact forward).

Prediction

Hull KR come into this fixture as strong favourites, and their home form combined with squad depth should see them through. Wakefield will be competitive, especially in the opening exchanges, but the Robins’ firepower and organisation are likely to prove too much over 80 minutes. Expect Wakefield to show flashes of quality and keep it close for spells, but Hull KR’s class should tell in the end.

Predicted score: Hull KR 32-14 Wakefield Trinity
