Picture Lyon - big threat to Hull's chances.

SAINTS LOOK TOO STRONG

FIXED ODDS
2pts Jason Hooper to score first try at 25/1 (totesport) Class act who is always a threat to opponents.
2pts Kirk Yeaman to score first try at 16/1 (bet365) Prolific scorer for Hull and can cross again.
2pts Sean Long to be man of the match at 5/1 (general) Saints favourites to win and he is key playmaker.

Hull get quite a big start on the handicap for a Grand Final when they take on St Helens at Old Trafford.

You have to look at sport or even horse racing and it is very hard for a team to play at their best for two weeks in a row.

Hull put up a great display at Knowsley Road a couple of weeks ago and only got beaten by four points by Saints and then defeated Bradford by seven points in the final eliminator.

Their defence has been outstanding in the last two games and I am not sure if they have another left in the locker.

I also think that St Helens can attack a lot better than they did in the last encounter.

On the big field at Old Trafford, it will cause more problems for Hull's team.

They lack a little bit of mobility around the ruck area and will players like Sid Domic have the speed to stop Jamie Lyon?

I do fancy St Helens to win and cover the handicap - it will be a tight game but in the last 15 minutes St Helens can blow Hull away.

I am confident they can do that with the calibre and quality of players in the team.

I think that Jason Hooper could be good value in the first try market.

He gets involved in a lot of first scores and is a fantastic support player and can also create and run the right sort of lines near the opponents' try line.

Also keep in mind that Saints have scored around 40 tries on their right side so Ade Gardner and Lyon are also worth consideration.

For Hull, you would have to say that Kirk Yeaman does seem to score tries.

As far as the Man of the Match is concerned we shall have to go with favourite Sean Long.

In a field of 34 players he is a short price but he will dominate and control the game and can be the best player on the pitch.

It is his fourth Super League Grand Final and he can show once again he is the most dominant force in the game.

Get on the 9/2 definitely.
