Live on Skysports 1: Sat 18.00: St Helens are Sportingbet’s 13/20 favourites to win the Grand Final and James Roby can be a key man.
St Helens are Sportingbet’s 13/20 favourites to win Super League’s Grand Final on Saturday after Royce Simmons’ side saw off Wigan to book their place at Old Trafford. Saints will face Leeds in the end-of-season showpiece after the Rhinos stunned League Leaders’ Shield winners Warrington 26-24 on Friday night and Brian McDermott’s men are 11/8 at Paddy Power to be crowned champions, despite only finishing fifth over the course of the regular season.
In-form Saints, at 7/10 (Sportingbet) to prevail in normal time, should have the edge despite having lost in their last four Grand Finals, three of which have been against Leeds and Stan James make Simmons’ troops 5/6 when starting from two points behind while they’re a tempting even money courtesy of Ladbrokes to overhaul a four-point head start.
St Helens duo James Graham and James Roby are both 5/1 with Skybet to be named Man of the Match at Old Trafford, the latter appealing the most out of that duo as his speed and ingenuity around the ruck will be vital and finally, there’s nothing between opposing wingers Jamie Foster and Ryan Hall in the first try scorer market; Skybet chalking 8/1 against both men.
Recommended Bets:
St Helens (-4) to beat Leeds – evens (Ladbrokes)
James Roby to be Man of the Match – 5/1 (Skybet)
