| Strange one this because of HKRs 50 - 0 Wembley nightmare!
Just how will they react to being embarrassed in the Challenge a Cup Final?
How will the emotion of the whole experience affect their build up to the M8s game against us and where will their energy levels be?
They might be gunning for retribution but that in itself could leave them vulnerable to a composed and committed performance from us.
I don't think Albert Kelly will make the game though, he is injured and shouldn't be playing at Wembley.
Big opportunity for Wakefield to take a huge step toward Super League security

| I have no idea how K R will react it's more about what we do. Today they looked like a very ordinary team that caved in against a Leeds team that set it's stall out and did not look to be flashy. I would not expect a same kind of performance from them next week.

| I was wondering a the same when watching. While I am sure they will want to show thei RL world they are better than this, physiologically it will be tough and Chester will have to give them one heck of a talk. They will be very disappointed as will the fans but we can't take anything for granted and have to go flat out for the full 80 with no thoughts about what they may do. It's about us and what we must do.

| To me, HKR playing Albert Kelly was akin to WT playing an injured Bill Ashurst in the 1979 Final against Widnes. It was a gamble playing an injured player too early, and whilst it was a psychological advantage having someone like that in the side, ultimately it could be to the disadvantage of the player's welfare.

Remember it well. Very big mistake on our part.

Or Leeds playing Keith Senior
Or HKR playing Gavin Miller
When will coaches learn!

| And yet he looked like one of the two or three HKR players who wanted to win.

He certainly did but carrying an injury all the same.
He wasn't his usual self and was heavily strapped up indicating that his injury wasn't healed and they'd patched him up in the hope if a miracle.
I think they'll wrap him up in cotton wool now and he won't feature against us.

| Trinity should be looking to win all four remaining games. Hopefully HKR will be emotionally shattered from today's thrashing.

Me too, however as with Ashurst, it was a case of if he didn’t play we’d have lost anyway.
We played a team used to the Wembley experience, as did H.K.R – but at least we kept it respectable!

You flatter them! Hull KR were utter garbage and the Rhinos were extremely clinical and exploited all the opposition weaknesses.
IF we play to our potential and get in their faces as the Rhinos did we will beat them.
Hull KR are punching above their weight all their flaws were on full view yesterday.

| I don't think I do flatter them but I don't underestimate them. I tipped the to be in the bottom 4 at the start of the season .

| HKR were shamefully awful yesterday, aided and abetted in large part by repeated errors from Dixon, who the commentators still insist on bigging up as if he's a superstar - which he patently isn't.
That said, they were playing against a Leeds side who have been comfortably the best team in SL this year - by some margin; we aren't that - we're WTW who last week, managed to scrape a win against Leigh by 1 measly point. Next week will still be a big ask - and if anything, they'll be fired up and looking to exorcise some demons.

And for those reasons we are likely to be getting a healthy start on the handicap

| Read on the KR forum that Kelly is done for the season. If true it will certainly be a bonus for Trinity.

| The problem is we could catch a wounded team that fight back.
Chisholm and the young kid can play a bit so they are not playing without halfbacks.
I also feel like Dixon is actually a danger man.
He dropped a lot at the weekend but he actually looked like their most likely threat with the ball. We can't just kick to him and hope he'll drop the ball. If he doesn't he'll fly past our backs before we have even set off to chase the kick.
You can also see Cockayne coming back in and having a blinder against us.
We need to play a controlled game again and work their forwards over.
It won't be easy. But I think we can win.

| Leeds v Rovers turned out to be a poor game for us. Rovers got hammered which will fire them up but hardly broke sweat. Leeds beat them with quick passing and finding gaps. Very few collisions or batterings for the Rovers lads. Almost like a training game of tag rugby.

| Forget Wembley ,Leeds can do that to anyone when they are in the mood. Hull Kr have some very good players and their squad is far superior to Leigh's.
If things go our way we may sneak a win but I doubt it. If I was doing the handicap it would be us with at least 12 start.

Yeah but we have play like Leeds did, turn the ball over in the right areas, good kicking game and move the ball about! Ok we don't play as well as Leeds but we can play good enough if we want to!

Yes we can .............. but only for 10 minutes at a time! It's the rest of the game that's the worry.

| Judging by some players reactions from Saturday I think you may be up against an angry beast.

To be fair, I would expect nothing less, but that doesn't always work to your advantage. Try to push too hard and the mistakes come far more easily.
Personally I think it will be a close win for you guys but I'm hoping to be wrong!
