So after all that, Hull KR are pretty much full strength bar kelly?

but the points carry over into the playoffs. I'd go with Walmsley and, bring him off if and when the job's done.

Saying that

Mose, Charnock, Amor, LMS, Greenwood, Flash
with Thompson, Savelio, Vea & Richards is a pretty hefty set of lads.

good to see Atelea Vea back.

We should be OK with that, Vea, Thompson and Sav could take up the slack if Walmsley is rested.

On behalf of Travis Burns we welcome Green to Langtree Park, hopefully Mose will stampede all over him.

I think some people forget this. We need to take as many points as possible as its very tight for the top four.

Fair enough resting Roby, but we can't forget that this is an important game. Take out Walmsley as well and we lose a lot of what's been good about our game lately.

We can always take him off once we're two scores in front. If the Hull KR attitude is as it was at Wigan, we'd be able to rest five or six during the game.

It's not hugely important it's a league game and we have a nice gap between 3rd and 4th.

The semi final is a knock out game and vastly more important and also harder to win

They were missing a few lads for that game, mate. Granted that's no excuse for their capitulation but it's worth noting that they went back a week later with a few bodies back and turned Wigan over.

Why does it have to be either/or? They're both important games and we should be going all out to win both of them.

Also, there might be a decent gap between 3rd and 4th, but there's only 1 point between 2nd and 3rd. That's the difference between a home or away knock out game in the playoff semi, which is significant.

I agree mate. Friday night is important as we have to make top four. Forget the top 8 as teams like saints, wigan, wolves, leeds, hudds and Cas will start the year with top 4 and not top 8.

It's also important as finishing 1st or 2nd gets us a home game in the semi.

I disagree; its just as important as the more difficult Super 8 games and we should be treating it like a Super 8 game.

Not much point beating Wire away and then losing at home to HKR.

Hopefully though they have given up on the Super 8 and be concentrating on the semi against dire.

Tell that to Travis Burns. I hear he's been training for this one harder than Balboa did for the Laing rematch.

So long as he does not go looking to get one over on green. If he or anyone else does that it's simply going to benefit Leeds a week later.

Nothing wrong with a bit of legal retribution.

Travis plays on the edge and is not subtle ,if the red mist comes down you could lose him for a few games

Don't think we'll be that bad ever again but to be fair if we follow it up like we did last time I'd take a beating tonight.

Can't see anything other than a comfortable Saints win but I gave up forecasting our results a while ago, we can go from being brilliant to awful usually in the same game.

37. Adam Quinlan; 22. Matty Dawson, 17. Mark Percival, 3. Jordan Turner, 5. Adam Swift; 6. Travis Burns, 7. Luke Walsh; 10. Kyle Amor, 26. Lewis Charnock, 25. Andre Savelio, 21. Joe Greenwood, 4. Josh Jones, 18. Luke Thompson.

Hull KR:

Subs: 15. James Donaldson, 20. James Green, 24. John Boudebza, 32. Dane Tilse.

Interesting line up.

Walmsley and mose on the bench

Great to see Thompson back in the team, here's hoping he's over his knocks.

How did the academy get on?

Well resting the players did not seem to hurt us too much to start with.

I know we're winning this one, but I'd love us to use this chance to give some decent ball to Percival. He gets so little service, and I do think he could do so much if given early ball in space.

Won 36-12

Well from the lack of posts, we must of won and everyone is happy.

Always an inverse relationship between performance and posts.
