How can we win this?

For me HKR are the favourites for this one. If we are to win IMHO we will have to take advantage of this. HKR are a good side but not outstanding and as a team unit relatively inexperienced. They will rightly want to put a show on for the CP faithful. For me if we can keep it tight and low scoring in the first half and thus frustrate them we stand a chance. With a big crowd behind them they will be keen to score and may push the ball. If they do they may make mistakes and lose cohesion. As I say they are a decent side but still IMHO lack the experience and composure to close a game off like Leeds or Saints can.

If we get in there faces from the start and frustrate them we could pinch it.

Over to you chaps

got to win the forward battle and get them on the back foot then who knows ?

If we are to win this one our goal line defence needs to step up because although we beat Wire we looked very fragile when defending our own line.

If we can keep it tight and have a good kicking game then we stand a chance. Our chase is normally superb and enables us to keep sides pinned right back. But i have a feeling Dobson is going to show us how skillful he is

TBF, that has been our biggest failure since promotion to Super League but something the coach is looking to instill this season. With Leeds, Bradford and Saints first three games not had the chance to try implementing it yet


Can honestly see a low scoring match because our defence has been excellent to date and impressed likewise with what iv'e seen of Wakey.

Hope your fans travel in numbers ( your form , league position and being played on a sunday afternoon should ensure no reasons why not) and add to what will be an electric atmosphere.

we need to maintain our outstanding kicking game. Our kicking game has been much better than our opponents' in the games we have won thus far.

Looking forward to this one, hoping to see a fair few of you travel over and hope it's a better day weatherwise than when you came last year (I had family who are Wakey fans in the North Stand and remember they got a bit wet)

Here's to a good game

You had?...you didnt dis-own them because of the team they supported??!

I don't think it looked fragile especially with top tacklers Stosic and Obst out of it, Warrington were always going to score a few. However as you say it could be better and will need to be, if we give HKR a sniff we could be on the end of a pounding which we don't want.

For those coming over have a safe journey and if you fancy a pre-match drink close to the ground then Soccer Sensations is ideal, especially families...

It's a 2 minute walk away from the ground and kids can play on the astroturf pitches too.

It's worth going back there after the game too for maybe 30mins and let the traffic die down before jumping back in to your cars otherwise you're stuck in the traffic.

Head for Craven Park but bypass the main car park, it's about another 100yards on your right.

Have a safe journey and hopefully we'll see you in Soccer Sensations.

As for the game...it should be a cracker but I think we'll make sure we don't repeat last years home game and the farcical last 12 mins or so especially seeing as you're still without Rooney, Brough and now Obst.

hull kr 18 - 44 wakey

wow that would be great now I think you should give your head a shake, going to be a lot closer than that

I think it will be a very entertaining game on sunday, both clubs coming off the back of great wins last weekend and seemingly playing well. I know im a rovers supporter and am biased but i think we will have too much on the day due to the fact you are crippled with injuries and us welcoming back Colbon and Gene. Lets hope for a good game of rugby and the right result

Don't know if you saw the results but we were very unlucky against Leeds (ref evening things up) and we beat Saints on their own turf. Our defence is very good and we will suprise a few teams with our attack as well. I think it will be a close game though, but think we will win.

I did and you answer your own point mate, you didn't hold out to beat Leeds they held out to beat you

. They have done it to us loads of times and that is the difference, both our teams get rattled, they rarely do. You must have got into Saints at KR, but it takes a lot to keep that up every week. Leeds and Saints do that 9 out of 10, I don't honestly think either of us are quite there just yet. Enjoy it whilst it lasts is what I say

Surprised there has been no speculation on how the team will line out against KR. Here's my guess -

Blaymire
Blanch
Atkins
Gleeson
Halley

JD
Martin

Bibey
Drew
Wilkes
Snitch
Ferguson
Henderson

Bibb
Pitts
Sculthorpe
Davey

I feel that this team is capable of a massive defensive effort and whilst the forwards might not have the same penetration strength in attack as KR I expect our backs to see plenty of the ball.

I have a feeling Atkins is going to have a stormer, Blaymire is going to link up well into the line and get a least one try and our wingers are also going to profit.

If we can avoid anymore misfortune

I think we have a really good chance of bagging this one

The wakey team must be buzzing with confidence right now, but so will HKR. I'd say 28-12 to Wakey, but I'd say it would be a good match.

this team is good enough to pip the rovers IMO, Wakey by 4

All the best for tomorrow guys

Thanks
FC looked good last night nice to see Horne back to his best

Should be a good un tomoz
