I think a significant point needs to be made in the first 8-10 games/

That I agree with, we have more quality in the side this year and should have enough to win games even if not firing on all cylinders, like last Friday

Thought Luckley was good last year , good offloading so he will be a miss for HKR.

No wind at HKR will be a blessing.

As Loiner at large said , the slow starts are a regular event and I was hoping something that RS would change this season. We can’t afford to repeat so many first halves from last year where we get pinned in our half and rarely get into opposition 20 until the game is lost.

Sangare and Goudemand start

Sacrebleus!

Aside from 'comfort banket' on the bench for TNW and whether we start with lisone or sangare, as expected really, though hoped McDonnell was fit.

Side tonight is good enough to compete and win.
Tough game over there and its been wet all day in Hull. Can handle a loss tonight if we play and compete well. Don’t want a repeat of last years lame showing over there.

plenty of wind in the stands though after eating all those burgers

To be fair for all his faults Donno can cover 2nd tow prop and 13 if needed, im not a huge fan of having 2nd rowers on the bench

Miller taken ill
