Sure, it's a high risk gamble, but better to face them on your own park than in the final?


They can't choose Leeds can they? They can only choose from the other two.

Thats a good train of thought, but im sure they wouldnt risk not making the finaland all that goes with it and would still back themselves for the OT game.

Just had a read up on the rules as i didnt think that could happen unless Leeds lost but it can, Highest place overall gets pick of the games, then second placed highest overall gets whoever is left. I thought there was some slight structure but it appears not :)

The League shows we have been the fourth best team during the season (though form has dipped from that run of 10 wins in 12, it is hopefully coming back gradually at the right time) and I'd say we have the fourth best chance of being champions. The teams above us have been better and we'll be underdogs against all, but in a one-off game you never know. We've got a couple rest weeks coming up while Hudds and Saints hopefully knock seven bells out of each other in their semi and one of them plays at Wembley. If our luck holds with injuries, it could be our year. I'd have smapped your hand off for 4th at the start of the year, but I'm getting greedy now. With a second chance in the play-offs, I'd make us 10 or 12-1 to win the GF.

A very difficult path to OT, especially for a team who has not beat a team higher than 7th in the league since Round 8 ;)


:lol:
Aren't stats great? 7th at the start of their game with Rovers or 7th now? I can't be bothered to work out the first, so I'll assume the latter.

Only 6 teams are above 7th (obviously) and we are one of them. We haven't played Saints or Wakefield in that period, so we are down to 3 - Leeds, Hudds and Wigan. We beat Wigan in round 13, though they won't have been top 6 then. Quins were in round 10 though, weren't they? Also I've just noticed who the top 6 club we beat in round 8 was! :wink:

Based on current form anyone in their right mind would choose to play us instead of Huddersfield.






Hull KR play off wins = just the one.

They can chose any of the 3 as far as I'm aware.

I don't think that's right Karl as Leeds would be entitled to home advantage?

Maybe, but we historically do better against saints than hudds do. Maybe our game doesn't suit saints an they would feel more confident of breaking down a structured hudds side, or psychogically they may fancy having an early crack at Leeds... Whoever they pick it will just serve to motivate the oppo...
