Well how extraordinary is that? Just when I think it's not possible for Rovers to show any further level of incompetence they somehow manage to take it up a notch. I have been saying for weeks that non fed = non fed no matter what your bloody passport says. Clearly Mr Typowriter doesn't understand the rules of the competition we are happy to boast we have been part of for 10 years.

The car crash just crept forward another yard.....

Looking at the weather forecast for Sunday afternoon. Very windy (25 to 30mph) and showery. Factor in the swirl effect off the River and it makes for a more interesting contest.

Wouldn't want Dixon, Shaw or Sio at FB in those predicted conditions, given what's at stake. Cockayne the most experienced FB option for crap East Hull weather, despite his limitations.

Was delighted when I heard Sio was to move to Full Back for this season, but this current car crash calls for a game by game reappraisal, especially given the threadbare nature of our resources and their proven inconsistencies.

I agree. It is a complicated rule - but not that blooming complicated. If true, it'd be poor, as it was questioned pretty much immediately. While I don't expect the club to pore over the wisdom offered on the forums, but if we realised, surely they should have (again, if true).

Is this incompetence about a player Rovers have never even mentioned?

Yes.

Its getting desperate now players are getting picked according to the weather

So, Rovers have never mentioned said player but have shown great incompetence in not signing someone they have not mentioned they were trying to sign?

Yes. I officially nominate Charlie as our bad weather fullback. Essential if we are to win 30-0 as per your prediction. I thought I would show some solidarity with you, Frankie, and try and shoe horn in an equally absurd post under the radar. Epic Fail.

Yes.

I actually think that is a consideration.

I still wouldn't select Cockayne though.

CP is a horrible ground to play full back at, the wind swirls all over the place and the modern balls and spiral kicks are seriously challenging to deal with.

Other least favourite grounds are Mount Pleasant and Post Office Road, I remember fielding a kick in the corner at Fev and having two massive props running down the slope at me. Bad times.

Wow.

I take offence to you calling my post absurd as you haven't got your facts right I never said we would win 30-0 I said we would win by 30pts I was thinking more like 48-18

Sounds to me like your throwing your hat in the ring for Sunday's full back spot

Two massive props chasing a goose no chance unless it was XMAS

O/ T cox has made the 17 for Warrington tonight. Interesting to see how he goes.

Looks huge and playing in a position that everyone thought he should play except hull kr coach

Must admit he looks a real handfull

That guy Cox who came off the bench for Warrington. Where did they pick him up from?. Looked a monster and didn't look out of place. Can we get him on loan.

Looked similar to the guy of the same name who used to play for us, only better.

Needed a change of club.

He'd burned all his bridges at Rovers and wasn't ever going to happen.

I'm glad to see him resurrect his career, because he always obviously had talent, my take is that is was probably forty per cent the coaching staff's fault and sixty his.

Goose. Right on the money. Let's hope Clarkson, Minns, Thornley and any other of our newbies who might take to the field for us on Sunday get the Cox effect with an uplifted performance.

The other interesting player last night was Lee Penny, a couple of seasons ago could not catch a cold & nearly out of the game. But a short spell in the lower league & look at him now? Warrington showed faith in him, just hope our coaches remember that when dealing with Dixon.

I thought his brother Kevin Penny looked good as well...

Sorry should have checked (it was the end of a long night shift)

Walker left out of the 19 man squad for the Cas game along with Holker and Shaw.

Expect Dixon and Mulhern to miss out on the final 17 imo.

If rumours are correct which I don't agree with Dixon will miss out, I would prefer Tilse to miss out also he offers nothing to the team in my opinion.
The coach has already stated that Lawler will play hooker(curve ball) so we shall have Donaldson and Boudebza on the bench, both very honest and players I personally like but size is a worry yet again.
