Can't wait to see big Ray and Mason go head to head on Friday, don't really think that the way HKR have gone about signing him with de-registering of Dobson but you cannot deny that his is the highest profile signings in British RL for many years and brilliant publicity. Time the club got some good press itself and have Ray monster Mason.

[iA friend of mine was at yesterdays Hull KR game and he told me Mason did OK but at the same time the Robins were very much hot and cold yesterday.

I think Salford City Reds can beat Hull KR on Friday they are missing there main man so I'm expecting a big performance from the likes of Holdsworth and Patten.

"Mason did OK" pretty much the understatement of the season up to now! He was shattered after 5 minutes but still managed to have a hand in two tries and could have scored a couple himself but chose to pass instead. The guy was difficult to stop, take down and stop the offload.

Murrell and Green looked to have clicked a little more and with Galea being a bit more involved we seem to have enough to cover the loss of Dobson.

I like big Ray but I don't see much between Mason and him as Mason will be running out wide like Newton does on the other side. I'd say Clinton and Ray will go head to head more than Mason TBH.

you think we can beat hull kr because they are missing Dobson? you having a laugh? We haven't been able to beat saints and leeds who have had several players out each! I just hope we can compete for 80 mins and not get hammered again.

doesnt look like big ray will be going face to face with anyone. Disip hearing 2mora!!!!!!!

Grade A offence, so might get off with a fine, max is 1 match ban, but then again we are Salford and we keep getting the book thrown at us.

Think you may find it's his second offence in 6 weeks that will go against him I reckon knowing the rfl

Your club must think we're gonna get our money's worth, they're charging us 2 quid extra than you to pre-purchase our tickets! Just paid £55 for two adults and a student concession, I understand if you prepurchase tickets it's £49.

That must be your club charging extra not ours. Did you ask why they were more expensive?

You could've phoned our ticket office up bought them at our reduced rate and just picked them up when you arrived.

Had I found out before I'd bought my tickets that this was the case then I would have done that obviously. I have emailed your club but am still awaiting a reply.

You won't get one mate. I've e-mailed them many times before and not got a responce one. Must be because we're a massive club so they're always too busy to answer.

Do they answer the phone?

Whats a phone? is that like one of them hi-tec pigeon things

Why are you getting touch with Salford when it is HKR who have sold you the ticket, whether you buy at Salford or the away team you still get the pre-purchase price. So if I was you i would get in touch with HKR who stand to make a few thousand on this game by charging their own fans the full price.

I did put a post on your site re "dining with a legend" also in that was a link to pre purchase tickets from Salford at a reduced cost.

Have a good trip over

I rang our ticket office first and was told Salford had only sent £20 tickets.

Mason hasn't played since September. Hence his fitness. However he is still sheer class and managed a "energetic" 60 mins.

I feel once again we will concede a try in the first 10 mins of each half.
Be competitive for the first half, and allow the floodgates to open in or around the 60th minute.
1st half - 14-18
2nd half - 26-42

Mark my words

But your club should still honour the early bird £18. When wakey did their offer for our game they sent us full price tickets. When we went to get our tickets from the solly club shop we were told it was full price. They phoned up Wakey, who told them that we were right and our club shop then only charged us £10.

The fault must lie with your side.

Is it a superleague rule that away teams get to keep a % of what they sell? If that's the case and if I was a cynic I'd think that Rovers were upping the cut they get.

Re Mason - I've watched him for years at different clubs and I know him so well that opponents should do too: Tackle low down and clamp the ball - basically put him under pressure and don't give him the freedom of the park.

Call me old fashioned but we should be doing that to all players from all teams from the start!

In a perfect world, yes. But this is just the sort of game we've faltered in for the past few years, only to up our game in a respectable defeat against one of the top clubs. Maybe with the aura of fame surrounding a big signing from down under, we might up the game this week. Fingers crossed it happens eventually.

Last time I emailed them I got a response, quite a few actually. I'd imagine you're probably on a 'blocked' list or something.

Hmmm true I can see that happening, but as I was saying to Lady in Red last night, if the lads go out their and play with heart and commitment and get off to a good start as well show the flair shown in the first 20 minutes at Leeds you just never know we may just surprise them.

Looking at our lack of forwards i think its only you who thinks we can win tonight mate.
We need to be an awful lot more disciplined this week for a start, its a sin how many pennos/suspensions we've given away so far this season. I suppose as long as we play with the desire and passion we did against Wigan then we can't ask for much more can we?

Your Living In The Land Of Make Believe KOTS!

Cant see anything but a HKR win 36-16
