Round 15 of this year's Super League sees the return of the live Monday night games and Stuart Jones has fished out the best bets in the two televised games this weekend.

"at a time where Lee Briers is being nursed back to full fitness, the loss of Brett Hodgson, so often their go too man on the second phase, is an untimely blow".

Warrington Wolves vs Hull FC

Despite having won four of their last five games, Hull FC aren't given much of a chance at all at the Halliwell Jones on Friday, receiving a healthy start of 14.5 points on the Betfair market. They may have been brushed aside by the Wolves at home earlier in the season, but they look a totally different proposition at present, and its no surprise that their upturn in fortunes has coincided with the return of captain Gareth Ellis.

Warrington themselves have put a good run of form together, though they are still to really show definite signs of a return to their best, and at a time where Lee Briers is being nursed back to full fitness, the loss of Brett Hodgson, so often their go too man on the second phase, is an untimely blow.

The chances are that Warrington should have enough to still edge this one, but I don't see them pulling clear of a confident Hull side, so 14.5 points looks too big a start to resist.

Recommended bet

back Hull +14.5 points at 1.9110/11

Leeds Rhinos vs St Helens

Injuries to Jamie Peacock, Brett Delaney and Carl Ablett mean the result of Monday's fixture looks much less clear cut that it did a week or so ago. Those losses should level things up a bit with Saints still ravaged my injuries themselves, and the inevitable reshuffles could turn a few trends on their head.

Neither side have been involved in many games to go over the points lines this season, but with Leeds missing three of their most hard working forwards, and Saints are still without top tackler James Roby.

That all points to a more open game than can often be the case between the two sides and an overs line of around 47.5 will make plenty of appeal.

Recommended bet

back over 47.5 pts at around 1.84/5
