Post subject:  Mental toughness?

Hull KR have the skill to beat any team in Super League but we are miles off in the Mental Toughness department. Justin is a great coach with great attitude but he needs the big game Mental awareness to be able to focus on the game for 80 minutes. The coaches that are winning games are great at the mind stuff and this shows at Wigan. The team has some good players but not world beaters in their own right but the way they attack the game makes everyone of them look great. No matter who comes in they play well.

The York game was the best example of this when we went 6-0 up all the players came back clapping the crowd as if they had scored against the Aussies. Laughing and joking with each other then its 6-12 and their heads drop. This is not a team well coached mentally.

The Bulls are rubbish and if we are not mentally tough enough and they score first we will lose. (Season over)

If Bradford play like they did against Halifax, Rovers could stay in the dressing room and Bradford still wouldn't be capable of scoring. Really abject last week I thought. Unlikely they'll be that poor 2 weeks running, mind.

Don't under estimate how bad this bulls side can be, especially away from home. 56 conceded at Salford! I expect us to get battered by kr. Youll probably top 40-50.

Likewise, you shouldn't under estimate how bad this Rovers side can be. :)

The Bulls defence currently makes wet tissue paper look like a foot thick wall of high tensile steel.

A comfy win for Rovers in a high-scoring game methinks.

Is Hull KR's team that good? Against Wakefield the team was;

"Hull K R: Cockayne, Fox, Hall, Welham, Latus, Green, Dobson, Vella, Fisher, Wheeldon, Galea, Cook, Murrell, Beaumont.
Replacements: Hodgson, Beaumont, Netherton, Taylor."

On current form I'd want only Dobson and perhaps Green in the FC team, at the best of times I'd only take Dobson, Vella and possibly Fox out of that team into FC's and we're only about the 5th best team (on paper) in the league.

I still guarantee we will be 6-0 down inside 5 minutes as per usual.

So on the flipside we would keep Dobson, Vella and Fox and take the rest of your team? :lol:
