Oh dear.

Hull kr look a good side this year, they should've beat bradford and were beating leeds for most of the match. I wouldn't underestimate them at all. I fully expect them to be top 6 this year.
all that said we have the quality to beat them, but not no way never easily

I don't think this will be an easy match at all. Hull KR look an even better outfit than last year and they've got plenty of soul, digging deep and keeping at it. While we defended very well by the sounds of it on Sunday we have a quick turnaround this week and if we don't have Graham and Cayliss again then we'll be lighter in the pack and a bit less rested, but they don't look so light to me and they've had the longer turnaround this week. I think it will be a challenge, but one I'm looking forward to watching come Friday night!

(Wonder if the fans will fight among themselves again? )

Without Cooke, KR will be a better team. When he was walking off at the end of that last game his kit was spotless. He looked like the Persil boy standing amongst his mud, grass and sweat stained colleagues.

Looks like we could be missing Flannery for a game or two due to an arm injury.

If you hadn't told me I doubt I would have noticed.

Hmmm. With Graham and Cayless in I'd have no worries at all about this one. As it stands we are probably in for a tough match. If all of the players mentioned as carrying knocks miss out we'll be well and truly up against it.

I must admit, I haven't noticed a great deal from Flannery either. Maybe I've missed the obvious, I don't know.

Sounds like Emergency Ward Ten! Add Meli, Eastmond and Flannery to the list and we will be playing the youth team.
