Its hard to build momentum when the other team is cynically running in / flailing around on the ground and generally poophousing their way through a game. When we did have a settled period of possession we looked ok, clunky and still building the combinations but ok.
HKR for all their faults are very much an attacking team and with them being at home and riding the crest of a wave after dismantling FC they will / should be buoyed with confidence and give us a real game so I cant see them going for the same slowing down tactics.
TBF, they kicked us to death in this game last year and much will depend on the weather come Thursday night but it should be another electric atmosphere and hopefully a good game we can squeak.
They kicked us to death but they had Jordan Abdul - they have a lack of decent in game kickers now
Totally agree about the slowing down on Friday, but my point was that yes we know we are probably a prop short but we didn't struggle or get dominated in that area on Friday.
Hull KR don't have a huge set of props either.
