Peters delivers St Helens verdict as spine conundrum dominates narrative

THE ROBINS HOST THE IN-FORM SAINTS TONIGHT

- By MATT SHAW

Willie Peters is under no illusion that Hull KR will take on a St Helens side that is back to its best tonight.

The Robins host the Saints in another test against one of Super League's top six sides as part of a tough run of fixtures to end the campaign.

The Saints have hit form at the right time, winning nine of their last ten matches, giving them an outside chance of a top-two finish.

Rovers have beaten Paul Wellens' side twice so far this season but will face them in a different guise this time.

They have improved on both sides of the game. In fact, the two clubs boast the best defensive record in the competition, having both conceded just 232 points in 23 matches.
