Its difficult to assess Cas up to now. Ian Millward hasn't put his stamp on the team yet and we don't want him to start with us! So, what we don't want is for Rovers to slip back into 'Bradford-mode', if they do then Cas will punish us.
If Dobbo (supported by Murrell) can carry on from where they left off last Sunday then I am hopeful of Rovers registering their first back-to-back wins of the season.
I reckon a 12-16pts winning margin in favour of Rovers, but TBH any margin will do as long as we win!
you say Cas are scoring points but since rd1 the opposition have been scoring more

Big game from Con Mika this week. J Hodgson to make out Raggy chase and no doubt mcgold-Edit-AS will be sent off. But who knows in games like this. Spoke to Jake Wester today he is in alot of pain, opp gone well should be back in 3 weeks, along with Green, Galea,Hall and O'Hara. Good news it's not his hip, its the double hernia.
Peter Gentle was rejected by Hull KR as their new head coach due to his lack of ambition.

I feel exactly the same. Lets hope the gaffer has the team focussed & fired up. We can't keep "bouncing back", its time to start performing week after week.

I'm as confident as I can be in a Rovers win, if our pack fires I think we'll have too much for them, this does however hang on whether our defensive performance is like the last sixty minutes against Huddersfield or the last sixty minutes against Bradford.
If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

I saw some naff stats on Boots n All last night (Clarkey the geek) showing Rovers n Cas as the worst 2 sides for conceding late tries. I would suggest nobody leaves early!
