Super League Round 9 Predictions

So we know who's off to Wembley after last weekend's Challenge Cup Semi Finals; but focus is back on the race for Old Trafford as Round 9 of Super League takes place.

With all the unbeaten records now gone, there's only Leigh without a point after defeat against Wakefield in the only League fixture of last week.

The Centurions have parted company with John Duffy, and a re on home turf against the Catalans. What price for an upset? Our team have their say on that and the rest of the latest fixtures...

Castleford Tigers Vs Hull FC

Rob

Castleford will be spared on massively by their cup win, whilst Hull FC will want to bounce back from double defeats by St Helens. It’s going to be a tough one to call but I think Hull FC will have the edge and strength in this one.

Huddersfield Giants Vs Wigan Warriors

Chris

The Giants have recorded a number of Covid cases in their camp so will be without several key players. This will give some youngsters an opportunity, but will weaken them for sure. And after a poor showing against Wakefield it's not what they needed. Wigan will be looking to respond after their humbling in the South of France, and given the Giants Covid situation I can see a big Wigan win.

Hull KR Vs Salford Red Devils

Kieran

This could be a very close game and one Salford may have pinpointed to get a much needed two points on the board. However, Hull KR are proving me wrong this year and are doing so well at this moment in time. I fancy them to win this one but it could be a closer game than some people think.

Leeds Rhinos Vs St Helens

Rob

Following their defeat to Catalans St Helens have bounced back in the only way they know how. Dispatching near rivals in the League and being 80 minutes away from their first piece of silverware. It will be an interesting game but Saints will be too strong.

Warrington Wolves Vs Wakefield Trinity

Chris

It was far from a vintage Warrington showing in the Cup and they need a response. Wakefield are slowly beginning to find some form with 3 recent wins. It's coincided with the ability to pick a regular 17 which they haven't always been able to do. They'll give the Wire a run for their money, but Warrington can't be as bad again, and I'll think they'll get the win.

Leigh Centurions Vs Catalans Dragons

Kieran

It’s been a tough old season for poor Leigh. Not only are they on a huge losing streak, but John Duffy left as Head Coach very recently. Catalans are one of the form teams at the minute and, even though they are genuinely stronger at home, they could rack up a big victory here.
