Last time Kr played Wire in the CC ................. Wire Won
Last time KR played Wire in any competition ............... KR Won
Since Wires CC QTR Final defeat in '06 ....... Wire Haven't Lost At Craven Park
Should Be a cracker .........
Agree I would not dare try to guess I think Rovers will win by 6 or less very tight, all I hope is that it is decided by the players & not by any odd or wrong decisions either way. I am devastated that I cant be there as I am at work I had booked Sunday off but because it has shifted to Saturday I will have to watch on TV but that is life.

The KR game was one of the most brutal matches I've seen in a very long time. That was one reason perhaps why Wigan were off the pace v Wire and by all accounts KR a lot slower v Cas. Games like that take their toll on players. Wire had an 8-1 pen count advantage in the 2nd half and despite that could only manage two tries. With that amount of possession and field position KR would have put 30+ past Wigan. KR are 2nd in the table and Wire 10th. That is the difference between the teams. IMO KR will win it in the halves. Dobson & Cook are in a lot better form than Briers or Monaghan. KR can switch Cook to the pack and Galea to 6 with Murrell an option to move position. Wire don't have those options. To me it's a home banker. KR 32 Wire 12.
....and I've never heard of a Wigan fan downplaying Wire before! This match is clearly too close to call, but stick to the facts. What 'could have/would have' happened is pure speculation. It's less than a week since the Pies were claiming that the 'after the hooter' try by KR at the Piedome was the only reason they won there! If Wire beat Pies by the same score that KR beat the Pies, that should at least mean something in comparing the two teams.

At Wire our backs arent good enough this year, especially since we let Gleeson go. Had they been I reckon we'd have stuck another 12 on Wigan and we did have a try disallowed. Our forwards are very very good and so are KR's.
What they've done there in 3 years is sensational, but I don't honestly think you're quite as good as some of you think you are. I'm going for a Wire win obv, I reckon about 26 - 16, cant wait

If you read the majority of fan's posts, we are not claiming to be the bee's knees. Most of us are over joyed with our current progress and as you say, in three years, it's been sensational progress.
It should be a corker, hope all you travelling Wire fans have a safe journey! May the best tean win (and we will )

Won't be back, to soon for him It is a big loss but we have managed with out him for a fair chunk of this season so far. I think, if I remember correctly, we have only seen Vella and Fozzard on the pitch together once?
It's going to be hard work for our forwards. Hopefully a good kicking game will keep turning the Wire pack and take some of the steam out of them.
League position would suggest a win for Rovers and I think we can do it but I expect it to be a nail biter against an improving Warrington that really should be higher up the table than they are.

32-20 Rovers.
Hopefully a classic.

In summary, HKR are made up of of a few overrated foreigners, a couple of Wigan rejects and a couple of blokes I have never heard of.
Saints by plenty, by miles even!

HKR are about as poor as it gets.

Shame it doesn't keep the sound like the full east stand of HKR. That's atmosphere.
