| No slip ups now Rovers.......need to prepare for Wakey like they did Saints. Excellent chance to get 6 points from the next three games......possibly 8 from four.

| I think calling it a banana skin is being disrespectful to Wakey tbh.
The league, albeit at an early stage, looks so competitive that i dont think there are "banana skins" anymore

it wasnt meant to be disrespectful to anyone but after last fridays result it would be easy to get carried away facing any team at home......especially a game Rovers would be expected to win.

by whom?
Wakey are 3 from 4, only losing to leeds like yourselves, and beat you last time out at CP. Even with their injury problems they managed to d1ck (i know they are performing badly) Warrington and win away at Wigan
I think its even but I think Rovers may just sneak it by 4 points or so!

| Its not a banana skin as such, just the first time rovers will enter a game as favourites - not massive favourites, but I think the bookies will have us ahead, for what that is worth. Wakey have started well but have mounting injury problems and Rovers have home advantage. They therefore have to guard against overconfidence after the great win at Saints.
I think the OP is making the point that Rovers have often surprised the 'big' teams in SL, but not backed it up in games that looked more winnable on paper - we are hoping that will change this year.
The only real banana skins this year, IMO, are Celtic and Salford. Leeds and Saints (could the latter be entering a Bradford-esque rebuilding period though? Very little experience outside the first 17.) remain the only teams for whom defeat is a real surprise. The rest are all very close, which is why I think Rovers could [ipossibly[/i finish as high as fourth or fifth - if they can improve against the likes of Wakefield, Cas, Quins etc. And avoid too many injuries, of course.

| This is the type of game we will go into expecting to get 2 points and be disappointed if we don't, unlike Leeds and Saints who we would expect to get beat by.
These are the type of games we have lost in the last 2 years, against teams who we see as our rivals for a 5 to 8 finish, I would put Hudds, Quins, Wakey, Cats and possibly Hull into this bracket.
If we are to show true, playoff and higher playoff finish potential then its these games we need to win and not pin our hopes on a one off win at saints (albeit a very good and welcome one) as a guide to our future finish spot.

| I think the only teams you can call Banana skins are Celtic and Salford any team will be disapointed to get beat by these two.
If there has to be a third team though its us

| No banana skins please, our players will slip and get injured
For what its worth i would not be too unhappy if we lost, IF we don't suffer anymore injuries, tight game but KR by 6/8.
But Adams presence is with the players and they'll fight tooth and nail for everything so if you ill prepare you may suffer.

| I fancy us to win at the weekend and I also think its a game we should be winning if we have any real intentions of being up there at the end of the season.
The key is to prepare for this game in the same way we have for our first 3 opening fixtures. If we can defend in a similar fashion I think we have enough in attack to take the 2 points, we really cant take this game as an easy 2 points.
Wakefield deserve alot of credit for their performances, Kear has a real team mentality going amonst the players, forget their injury list, Wakefield will battle hard!

And it is disrespectful calling us a banana skin. We aren't second in the league so far for nothing. Even our only defeat to date against Leeds didn't feel as bad as defeats normally do. We've got a talented bunch of young lads who are standing up and being counted. Although the prospect of a foot race or several between Dave Halley and Peter Fox is very exciting.
Banana skin indeed! eusa_naughty.gifeusa_naughty.gif

I for one will not be under estimating wakefield, they aren't where they are by some fluke, they have some very good players and a fine coach in John kear.
He will have them fired up you can be sure of that and Rovers will have to be tuned in mentaly as well as physicaly to get a win.
ALL in all i think this game could be a fast end to end type of game and i am looking forward to it, i hope Wakefield do bring a good following with them which will go to create an even greater atmosphere.

| This really is the battle of the Titans, in that we are both form teams. Only difference is you are doing it with basically your best line up and we are not. To me this indicates we are the more likely to break. I can't see us winning, however I would never say never. I for one simply cannot call Trinity games anymore - not since Kear took over. It's one suprise after another.
HKR by 14 or Trinity by 4
