No Long or Cunningham in the 19 man squad. It does however have Wheeler in there but whether he plays or not is a different matter.

Two points to Hull KR for me

Me too.

In fact, I'm trying to think which game we might actually manage to win! If we play as we did last Sunday, even the Dragons will burn us and they haven't been on the best of form themselves all season.

Yes, we played shockingly on Sunday and where completely outplayed by an immense Hudds side, but Jesus Christ, a few bad performances does not mean that our entire season has gone down the pan.

Some pans must have a whole in them then. My pan (s) don't leak.


Providing we get a couple of players back for the playoffs I think we will give a good account of ourselves. We have had a lot to contend with this season but some people don't look at it that way.

Saddened, stop taking over other peoples profiles

we lost to HKR by poor goal kicking last time, if kyle is playing that shouldn't be a problem. I want a big game by leon, time for him to stand up and show us he is a real 6 and not just feeding off longy.

A whole what?

Yes, we were outplayed by an 'immense Hudds side' but taking that away and we did not look anything like a winning team. In fact, we didn't actually look like a team. We were a bunch of individuals who didn't know what to do when confronted with some defence. We struggled in the same way against Wigan the week before and, frankly, we've been struggling the same way for weeks now.

I'll be more than happy if we win today, obviously. But I have lost confidence that we will. There's nothing wrong in losing confidence, it just happens. I just don't see us coping with Hull's kicking game, if it is on form, or their defence, if that is on form. We didn't move quickly last week nor did we look like we were playing for each other. If that all changes and suddenly we discover what has been missing for weeks now then great but I simply no longer have the confidence that we will. I'm not alone in that feeling, not by a long, long way, so regardless of your sarcasm, I still don't think we'll beat Hull KR. But if we do, then great.

Christ, you make Despondant Dave and Saddened having a pint together, listening to the Smiths after a funeral seem like the picture of happiness.

We looked disorganised on Sunday and have done for a few weeks. In fact, we've looked disorganised since Mr. Long picked up an injury. People slag him off, but he is unbelievably good. He get's the ball wide quickly allowing Pryce and Wellens to move, he organises better than anybody in the country and his kicking game is usually very good. He'll be a big loss for us when he does leave and he's been a loss for us since his injury.

Don't get me wrong, I like Eastmond. He has blistering pace, he scares teams with his direct running and his kicking and passing game is decent. But it'll take time for him to settle into our structure.

Anyway, we have enough to beat HKR, but it is an extremely tough game for us. We need to move the ball wide quicker than previous weeks, otherwise it'll be a tough grind for us and we're short up front already.

You mean the 100% record of your goalkicking in the game earlier in the season wasn't good enough?

You're funny, you.

Oh bugger

So I'm worse than Saddend still huh? Sounds like we're playing our usual clueless on the last play to me.

Let's hope we can make something of the second half. But I hoped for that last week and nothing came of it.

Sounds a real bruiser, 6-4 at half time to HKR, it's all their for the taking.

10-4

I think hull kr will run away with it in last 20 mins.

ffs S.

oops

Lucky escape there

16-4 and Ganson just ruled out a close call, still along way to go.

Ah well, back to cleaning the bathroom

lol
