Is this the thing he wrote in the cave on Patmos? Or is that a different John?

Different St. John. This one was a Syrian priest and scholar.

Is this St John going to the Galpharm on Monday night? If not then fount off the lot of you.

wonder how many would be calling for sandy's head had he not got very lucky in the last 2 games?

St John the Baptist?

Why was we lucky Jake what cos really you shud have beat us even tho for the few weeks leading up to playing us ur team were lucky to get a result and lucky to come back like we did against wire, get ur head out of the sand and admit it we were not lucky, I suppose beating cas like we did was pure luck

Yeah, I'm sure sandy had it planned that way all along

Rovers have a decent team and a very, very good coach. Slowly things are coming together, the progress graph has not had a uniform incline, nor will it have. If we lose away on Monday to a quality Huddersfield team I dare say the doubters will be back out in force. The good thing is we have progressed to a point where people give us a genuine chance away to Huddersfield a team who has wiped the floor twice with Hull FC this season, at home & away, in the league & in the cup.

We are a decent team yes but very much not across the board from 1-17. There are some glaring weaknesses and also particularly early on, several of the better players missing. Sandercock has managed this and a '5 home, 8 away' first half of the season really well. Gentle's '8 home, 4 away' start would have been far easier. While Hull were scraping those home wins against London, Wakefield etc. Rovers were losing at Warrington, Leeds & Wigan.

Inevitably things are now evening up as they were always going to.

People should think about players like Craig Hall, Josh Hodgson and Rhys Lovegrove and their contribution under Morgan and now under Sandercock. These 3 were make-weights in 2011, now they are stand outs. Coincidence? I think not, Rovers fans

Craig Hall in particular. Morgan would never have trusted him to play 6 in a million years. He'd have moved Galea, Murrell anybody. Hall cannot do what Blake Green does at 6 but he can do what Craig Hall does which quite often is scoring and setting up match winning tries.

Actually Hall has a good tackling technique far better than Welham or Dobson, his worst fault is sometimes choosing to go for the creative when the simple choice would be better. A dilemma never encountered by the less talented. But under Sandercock, Hall finally has a mentor who believes in him, nutures him, works with him not against him and gives him his chance. We've seen the results.

Rovers finally showed the ability to defend tough, like a top Super League team in the second half against Warrington. All season long we haven't done that. Can we do it again consistently and complement our attack which is statistically in the top 4 in Super League? Only time will tell. At least we now know we CAN defend because it had seemed at times we could not.

Huddersfield are a team I rate very highly and there is no doubt at all they will sometime recover the form which saw them crush Hull and others so easily. I'm thinking Rovers will be in for a hard night, I think Hudds will be really up for it. Losing runs end, winning runs end I just feel that's how it will be hope I'm wrong.

If Rovers win at Hudds then it's light the blue touch paper. If not it's back to the fight for 7th & 8th with the likes of Bradford & Hull and I'd back our chances.

You forgot to mention hull bobness, oh wait no you didnt .

but you didnt forget to give us another boring meaningless post did you

OK I'll mention Hull FC again for you then.

Huddersfield have wiped the floor with Hull FC not once but twice this season. Not just in Super League but in the challenge cup too.

Hull FC have also been crushed by Wigan on their own ground. They have an owner who has been sacked by Hull City and who cries to the RFL when they get beat by Rovers.

Can't think of anything else about them, hang on they have fans who love to come on a Hull KR forum. Have I missed anything?

Thats nearly everything I think , oh wait you forgot were still above you in the league

Of course he did were not called the comeback kings for nothing you know

what you mean that hull got crushed twice by the giants

Great post tho that bob I'd agree with that

I think we will probably get beat on monday as Huddersfield are due a win and when this is the case with any team, we seem to be the next fixture. What I do like is our never say die atitude and is something I commented on earlier in the season and one thing that needed changing from previous years was once we went 18 points down 40+ would follow without a fight, we now at least give it a go till the end whilst playing better attacking rugby.

We may have been 'lucky' in some peoples eyes to win the last two games from such a distance but I suppose they also viewed as being unlucky against Bradford earlier in the year. I am hoping for a Rovers victory not epecting one yet I have said that the last two weeks.

hudds didn't wipe the floor with Hull at the galpharm. HTH

Just like up to round 26 2011. How did that go for you?

Not here, but then I'm a natural pessimist.

I think the fact that anyone thinks we have a chance has more to do with Huddersfield's form than our own. As Sandra quite rightly summarised, we will get dry bummed.

How did he get lucky?

Do games only last for 80 minutes when he is coaching?

You forgot to mention the full page article in the Hull Daily Mail crying about injuries followed by the quote "but we aren't crying about injuries"

No, not at all. Just stopped you from scoring a single try.

In an effort for some immediate credibility I will have a stab at a score prediction Huds 28 KR 30. It's a long shot I know, but I could live off this first post for the next year if it comes off. I'm off to tart up my profile with something witty!

4 points in it with just over 10 minutes to go. Closer than you were to us with 14 minutes left at etihad

Lucky because both teams were cruising and comfortably in the lead and took their foot off the gas. Fair play to rovers for taking advantage and you can only play what's happening at the time, but let's not kid ourselves that it was anything other than Hull and wire easing up because they thought they'd won
