Who is or isn’t available for this ? Be a bit harsh to drop anyone am assuming gale hood Bowden Lino are available , atoni Taufau possibly obviously Salabio won’t be playing and that eseh and hewit will have served their bans.

Be interesting to see if gale comes in , personally would stick with bowes and Kaye at hooker, thought kershaw and French winger were excellent. Dagger to centre , Bowden /shaw for salabio other than that would leave rest where they are

Whitbread and Bowden coming back would certainly add something to the pack.

Is whitbread likely to be available , if he was and proctor continues where he left off think we ll give them a game

I dont know who is back available, but i read somewhere that there were possibly up to 12 coming back into contention for HKR.

If we go back to the old men ,we will have learnt nothing

Better leave Fifita out then.

And Pitts

I thought there was a reserve game but someone then said there isn’t. This means Hewitt and Eseh out.

If that’s the case then I’d try to keep same as much as possible and go:

Jowitt
Franco
Langi
Croft
Kershaw
Dagger
Smith
Proctor
Bowes
Bowden
Ashurst
Pitts
Whitbread

Fifita
Battye
Kaye
Shaw

I think I'd rather have Proctor in SR with Pitts at 13 and Whitbread at 10.

I'm still not sure whether I'd bring Lino back. It's a big call.

Who would be a coach. Damned if you do and damned if you don’t unless we win. I’d change as little as possible.

I’m not sure about proctor in SR purely as he’s used to 15-20 minute stints and us not having any other second rowers.

Pitts and Ashurst will do full 80 at SR. Could put Battye, Whitbread or even bring Crowther back in for 13.

I don’t care so long as we win. It’s a huge game.

I think we agree on all the players. Its just a question of position.
It's a big game for us. We don't have that great a record against Rovers but it's probably the best chance we'll have.
I just ask that we give it a go.

Oh absolutely it seems the team we more or less agree.

I think the KR game is a huge opportunity for the players to really break out and show the rest of the league they mean business for the second half of season.

I’m thinking of heading over myself.

Going back on myself here but I’d leave Proctor at prop - I thought he had his best game for us there last time out and I’d give the Dagger/Smith pairing another go.

Me too

Me too. First away game this season.

It's nice trip to both of the Hull grounds. I reckon Hull KRs ground is probably my 3rd most visited away venue after Headingley and Cas.

Big game this one. Win and put some pressure on Cas, get nilled and write off all the positivity from the Leeds game.

It wouldn't be a shock though would it, typical Trinity thing to do.

I agree.
Winning would realy shake things up.

Losing doesn't mean the end of the world. Plenty of teams have lost at Craven Park

.....but losing to nil would be a disaster.

Well, HKR have just beaten one of the form teams today in CC, perhaps Rovers have clicked again just at the right time, I’ll still be there on Friday hoping for that win.

Don’t believe all the baloney about teams on their uppers regarding fit players , plenty of gamesmanship going on at HKR by the looks of that scoreline .

That's what I thought, was going to have a bet on Salford till I saw KR squad.

KR haven't won a SL game since May 5th (having won six in a row before that) - a big drop in form due to injuries that has seen them drop from 3rd place to 7th. They tonked Batley in The Cup during that period and have now seen off Salford. Maybe your meeting will be a tad too late... or are they now concentrating on Wembley?

Yeah I hurt crisis seems a bit of a stretch

We have got a good few out thats true, plus Ryan Halls going in for knee surgery so you wont face him either, but weve got pretty decent cover thankfully.
If we'd have lost that cup game today then i could definetly have seen you lot turning us over, but i just think that'll give us the confidence to get the win though.
I hope we turn you over, but i also hope you make a real fist of the relegation battle too.
