Rhinos out for revenge
16 January 2007
The Rhinos, who are level on points with leaders St Helens, suffered a surprise 22-20 defeat at Craven Park in March, a result which briefly put Rovers at the top of the table after five rounds.
Rovers have won two of their last four matches to pull three points clear of basement side Salford and Rhinos coach Tony Smith insists he is taking nothing for granted against Justin Morgan's team.
"We saw last week how competitive Super League is this year with the team that was in 10th (Catalans Dragons beating the team that are top (St Helens) and it just goes to show that no result these days are unusual," said Smith.
"We need to make sure that we don't fall victim to a results like that. Hull KR have done really well in their debut season in Super League and we will need to be at our best against them.
"They have got a lot of experienced players who have gelled well together and they will have no fear coming to Headingley Carnegie."
Elsewhere, Wakefield and Hull do battle at Belle Vue for a play-off spot.
The Wildcats have won six of their last nine games to give themselves a great chance of a top-six finish, while Hull have surged to fourth place after losing just one of their last six matches.
"It's fifth versus fourth so it's a big game," said Wakefield coach John Kear.
"They played really well against Warrington last week. They've always had exciting strike players and Matthew Head has added another organisational dimension to them."
