No.<\/p>\n<p>Sam Cook: Hull KR 40-10 Castleford<\/p>\n<p>The Tigers have brought in enforcements after their heavy defeat last Thursday but Rovers are on a roll and are tough to stop at Craven Park.<\/p>\n<p>Sam Brocksom: Hull KR 36-14 Castleford<\/p>\n<p>New faces will give Castleford confidence, but if they can\u2019t get up for a performance in front of their own fans, they will certaintly struggle to perform in front of a hostile Craven Park crowd.<\/p>\n<p>Leeds Rhinos v Wakefield Trinity \u2013 Friday, May 1st \u2013 KO: 8:00pm<\/p>\n<p>PS: Leeds 24-18 Wakefield<\/p>\n<p>Game of the weekend. Wakefield have won three of the sides\u2019 last four meetings, but in-form Rhinos have home advantage and a full-fit squad so should just shade it.<\/p>\n<p>SC: Leeds 22-18 Wakefield<\/p>\n<p>A big game for both clubs but arguably more important for Leeds, who have already lost to Trin this season, and for whom the expectation is on. For that reason I see it being close and this could come down to goal-kicking.<\/p>\n<p>SB: Leeds 30-22 Wakefield<\/p>\n<p>The game of the round sees Brad Arthur\u2019s side face somewhat of a bogey team in Wakefield, who beat Leeds at Headingley last year and knocked them out of the Cup back in March. That being said, I think Leeds take the win here.<\/p>\n<p>St Helens v York Knights \u2013 Friday, May 1st \u2013 KO: 8:00pm<\/p>\n<p>PS: St Helens 30-10 York<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Despite their injuries, Saints should be too strong, though York are on a high after a win last week and won\u2019t be a pushover.<\/p>\n<p>SC: St Helens 34-10 York<\/p>\n<p>Saints grinded it out against Wakefield last week to keep their unbeaten home run up and I expect an easier victory on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>SB: St Helens 48-8 York<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of if Welsby plays or not, I think the Red Vee will be far too strong and will put a big score on York\u2019s depleted squad.<\/p>\n<p>Jake Connor\u2019s World Cup chances, Brian McDermott reaction &amp; Leeds Rhinos early title favourites \u2013 <a class=\"in-cell-link\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/XgTBWWq5qjs?si=w7W3v7cgtp4m0ShY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Click here to watch the latest episode of the Serious About Rugby League Show<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Wigan Warriors v Bradford Bulls \u2013 Saturday, May 2nd \u2013 KO: 3:00pm<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">PS: Wigan 26-14 Bradford<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">On a run of four successive league defeats, with injuries to key players and a week out from a Challenge Cup semi-final, Wigan are vulnerable. Bulls, though, have their own problems and not enough depth to add to the hosts\u2019 woes.<\/p>\n<p>SC: Wigan 28-16 Bradford<\/p>\n<p>Wigan are still without their starting halves but Bradford don\u2019t even have their back-ups available in most of their backs. That said they showed against KR that they can get a foothold in games but it likely won\u2019t be enough to beat Wigan.<\/p>\n<p>SB: Wigan 22-6 Bradford<\/p>\n<p>Respectfully to Bradford, if Wigan don\u2019t end their losing streak here then big questions need to be asked. Bulls will be well up for it, but I think they come home empty handed.<\/p>\n<p>Catalans Dragons v Leigh Leopards \u2013 Saturday, May 2nd \u2013 KO: 6:00pm (UK time)<\/p>\n<p>PS: Catalans 20-16 Leigh<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Leigh have found some form and Catalans are inconsistent, but home advantage could be the key factor in this one.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">SC: Catalans 22-26 Leigh<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Catalans are a different beast at home compared to away but Leigh are starting to find their feet this year, so I\u2019ll just back the Leopards.<\/p>\n<p>SB: Catalans 8-16 Leigh<\/p>\n<p>Catalans have been very good at home this season, so this prediction could come back to haunt me, but if Leigh get bodies back as Adrian Lam has said they might, I think Leigh could get one over on the French side.<\/p>\n<p>Huddersfield Giants v Warrington Wolves \u2013 Saturday, May 2nd- KO: 8:00pm<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">PS: Huddersfield 6-30 Warrington<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Giants seemed to have turned a corner after back-to-back wins, but their form has dropped off again and \u2013 as long as next week\u2019s semi-final isn\u2019t too much of a distraction \u2013 on-song Warrington should win with something to spare.<\/p>\n<p>SC: Huddersfield 16-28 Warrington<\/p>\n<p>Warrington should have too much for Huddersfield despite the Giants now being relatively healthy after their torrid start to the season.<\/p>\n<p>SB: Huddersfield 0-24 Warrington<\/p>\n<p>The Giants have hit a stumbling block after winning two games on the spin under Liam Finn. An in-form Warrington awaits, and I think the Wolves will want a complete performance ahead of their Cup semi-final.<\/p>\n<p>Hull FC v Toulouse Olympique \u2013 Sunday, May 3rd \u2013 KO: 8:00pm<\/p>\n<p>PS: Hull FC 36-16 Toulouse<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Hull aren\u2019t pulling up trees, but they had a big win at Castleford last week and \u2013 even with their recent issues on and off the field \u2013 will be too good for a Toulouse side who conceded 38 points to York in their previous game.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">SC: Hull FC 28-24 Toulouse<\/p>\n<p>Hull will find it harder this week than they did last and expectations have understandably risen. Toulouse are on a seven-game slide and I expect it to continue in a tight game.<\/p>\n<p>SB: Hull FC 32-10 Toulouse<\/p>\n<p>Toulouse haven\u2019t won in England since their round one upset over Wakefield, and after a hefty defeat to York last time out, I can\u2019t see their fortunes changing.<\/p>\n<p>Predictions Leaderboard<\/p>\n<p>1st: Peter Smith\u2013 55<\/p>\n<p>2nd: Sam Cook \u2013 49<\/p>\n<p>3rd: Sam Brocksom \u2013 44<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768085712_213_srl-logo.png\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The predictions are in for Super League round 10, and after another hectic round of top-flight action, it\u2019s&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":559790,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[5903,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-559789","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-rugby","tag-rugby","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/559789","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=559789"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/559789\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/559790"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=559789"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=559789"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=559789"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
