I have the same team.
The only alternative for me is putting Gale in, moving Dagger to centre, Kay to 14 and drop Hood.

It pains me to see Atoni in but let's hope Fifita embarrasses him into stepping up.

What Atoni needs is a stormer and a confidence booster. Maybe he can take something from Fifita’s game.

I live in hope he will come good.

Well not as bad as Trinity’s injury ravaged squad with 10 out.

And 2 very good loan signings really eases the pain for KR in key positions.

Not doing it tough like us with 13 out last week and 10 this but who knows. We won last week with 13 out so why not this week too.

If he picks Lineham and Hood then you would have to question his Sanity.

I also question the sanity of Atoni and Lineham being anywhere near a Super League squad. They are crap. They have been crap for us consistently. Why would they suddenly become worthy of consideration?
Mad.

No last week was paid for, Friday isn't. If you are off, I wish you well.

And yes I'd do now we have injuries just like all other clubs, my point being, other clubs seem to turn them around and bring players back. We seem to be stacking the list higher. Two weeks since we last played and our injury list even worse than then.

I may have missed it being in oz but why dont the club when they release the squads say why people are not selected ....just give us some info !!!

example Proctor has been way better since Fifita got there and i was told one of our best last week - why isnt he in the team ? injured / how long out for

Lino probably been our best player this year - what is wrong with him - is he out for the season?

doesnt take much nowadays to keep fans informed .

They did last week. Think Lino was 2 weeks.

Also Lino has been the constant this year but not had enough positive influences in games. It always tends to be other players fault Lino isn’t performing. He’s played with 4/5 different halves and I’m of the opinion it’s his game that needs to change. Won’t be popular but that’s just what I see. Try’s really hard Lino but holds the ball up, is predictable and one dimensional with an average kicking game.

Try pollards plaice instead, it’s not far from it and a lot better imo.

Thanks for the advice there.

My wife is a Hull KR fan, but has lived in the Wakefield area for 35 years, and in the 20 plus years we've known each other, that's where we've always gone.

I'll let her know. Where about's is that one?

Well 4/5 different partners might be a clue as to why he ‘isn’t performing’
We all see things differently- I think he’s been the only player who looked a threat in most games, but I like the look of Smith at sh and for me it’s his place to lose.

I have to agree with this.

Even going back to the friendly on Boxing Day, the score was comfortable enough, but it wasn't until Lino went off and Smith went into the halves, did we step up a gear.

Right now, a 3 year extention for Lino, is very generous to say the least.

Potentially, Smith, Gale and Dagger are probably the ones in contention for the half back spots, and if they work, then I'd stick with it.

I hope to be proved wrong, however.

Dagger has proved his utility value at SO but I personally feel he’s not a permanent SO.
Gale might be the answer if we can get him on the park.
I’d like to see a Gale/Smith partnership given a few games.
If that’s not right try Lino/Smith?
Time will tell but I acknowledge that Smith at last stepped up against Leeds - can he do it week in week out?

Still see a lot of Keighley fans on SM when the topic comes up making mention that Gale had no shortage of effort but wasn't killing it against champs teams. His mind is probably still whole but his body might just not be doing it anymore maybe?

I guess we will have to make our own minds up when he does get onto the field. He’s come back into a full time environment so that may help bridge a gap. Hard to say tbh.

And we don't need him to be running the length of the field. We need him to manage the team.

Exactly. Finn wasn’t the fastest but he had the brain to get the team over the park - as does Gale.

True but if Dagger and Smith get another shot and do well then we may have found our solution.

Finn also had one of the best three-quarter lines we have had down at Wakefield ,You have no need to run with a 2 to 5 like that .Think a 7 needs more than a brain with the team we got

Well Thomas is playing for the reserves

4 of us going

The game tonight could be defining with regards the coach and team. The performance will show if we have actually turned the corner or if the Leeds game like Salford were just outliers in an otherwise disappointing season.

It's still a disappointing season. A few games don't change that.
However, a win, or even a competitive game shows there is something to work with.
Some will of course just jump on the scoreline and if we don't win Mash and all the players are rubbish and don't try, but there's far more to it than that.
