Hull KR have the skill to beat any team in Super League but we are miles off in the Mental Toughness department. Justin is a great coach with great attitude but he needs the big game Mental awareness to be able to focus on the game for 80 minutes. The coaches that are winning games are great at the mind stuff and this shows at Wigan. The team has some good players but not world beaters in their own right but the way they attack the game makes everyone of them look great. No matter who comes in they play well.

The York game was the best example of this when we went 6-0 up all the players came back clapping the crowd as if they had scored against the Aussies. Laughing and joking with each other then its 6-12 and their heads drop. This is not a team well coached mentally.

The Bulls are rubbish and if we are not mentally tough enough and they score first we will lose. (Season over)

watching the bulls last week in the cup there problem is defence you seem to have the same issue ,whoever controls the ball the best and completes there sets ,gaining field postion will win.I predict a high scoring game with you winning by 6 ,home advantage been the key ,but if childs is ref its in the lap of the gods loll

If Bradford play like they did against Halifax, Rovers could stay in the dressing room and Bradford still wouldn't be capable of scoring. Really abject last week I thought. Unlikely they'll be that poor 2 weeks running, mind.

Don't under estimate how bad this bulls side can be, especially away from home. 56 conceded at Salford! I expect us to get battered by kr. Youll probably top 40-50.

Likewise, you shouldn't under estimate how bad this Rovers side can be.

The Bulls defence currently makes wet tissue paper look like a foot thick wall of high tensile steel.

A comfy win for Rovers in a high-scoring game methinks.

Is Hull KR's team that good? Against Wakefield the team was;

"Hull K R: Cockayne, Fox, Hall, Welham, Latus, Green, Dobson, Vella, Fisher, Wheeldon, Galea, Cook, Murrell, Beaumont.
Replacements: Hodgson, Beaumont, Netherton, Taylor."

On current form I'd want only Dobson and perhaps Green in the FC team, at the best of times I'd only take Dobson, Vella and possibly Fox out of that team into FC's and we're only about the 5th best team (on paper) in the league.

I still guarantee we will be 6-0 down inside 5 minutes as per usual.

So on the flipside we would keep Dobson, Vella and Fox and take the rest of your team?

The table doesn't lie.

I hope Morgan puts into practice some of the observations he made on Sky last night , especially the one about an ALTERNATIVE game plan when things are not going right.

tomorrows ref is Silverwood
....
in respects to points etc
points conceded
bradford 420... thats an average of 32.3 per game shipped.
rovers 374 ..... 28.7 per game shipped
points scored
bradford 266 thats an average of 20.4 scored
rovers 311...is 23.9 scored
so not really that much difference between the two teams..

I know Keith Earle does alot of work with Rovers. He is an expert in mental toughness. He was one of my lecturers at uni.

Does he and has he started work with them yet

cos it aint blooming working.

Very perceptive.

Looks like I overestimated Bradford's attack but otherwise as expected. Bradford really are gash right now.

Unfortunately I wasn't wrong. We are garbage. Worst team in league.

Listening to the radio, bombed at least 3 "certain" tries. Could have made a big difference, especially the one before half time
