Hull KR will walk into Wakefield Trinity's Belle Vue ground today with all the cameras and attention on them, but for Daryl Powell, that sits just fine.

Pressure is more on KR than us - Powell

In fact, the Wakefield head coach believes all the pressure is on Rovers, who are looking to close in on a second piece of silverware this year.

Ahead of the clash, the permutations are simple. For Hull KR, a win guarantees the club a first-ever League Leaders' Shield. For Wakefield, it all but guarantees a playoff position.

The stakes are big, and for Powell, there's a chance now to get at Rovers and take it to them - just as he promised after defeat at Craven Park back in June.

Recalling that game, Powell told the Mail: “We were down on troops at that point and we were 10-all at halftime. The second half of the game blew out a little bit. I just thought we were really good - we've been good against Hull KR for a game and a half in the two games we've played against them. We've got to be good again.
