good win for Rovers today with two of our old boys doing the danme. Two tries for Dodgy and one for Brown.

Eorl to come back for this one.

Any other changes likely.

Hopefully we will spend the majority of the time with the ball will be high in the air heading towards Greg Eden.

difficult one to call depending on which Rovers side turn up, they ship a hell of a lot of points in but can also score lots too.....if our defence has an off day it could be 56-42 or something !

I could live with us wining by 12 points in the odd 100

Key is to stop the offload. Do that we win.

It's been said - kick to Eden and put in a good chase to pressure him

Pressure them because they can't defend but they can attack.

Give them no time, they will make mistakes and we will win.

put loads of pressure on eden and we will probably come up trumps!

did hodgy score again? tut he's rubbish,all he does is score tries!

Only 2 teams left who haven't drawn a game this season!!!

Looking on their board and comments from NB suggests that Rovers won it with a big pack.

Apparently they have some one who is 6 foot 7 and someone else who is 6 foot 6 playing for them nest week.

When will the Beast be unleashed and when will we see Mullally ?

Hope for a nice dry day next Sunday, quick defensive line
They can score plenty so we need to close them down quick

Who would you drop for mullally and taai? Kopczak is playing well, fielden has rejuvenated himself and is clearly enjoying his rugby. Patrick is back to his best and eorl..... Is well he's eorl- the whole team is lifted when he comes on!
We could rotate them but I'm enjoying seeing those four very much.
I think PA will make a decision after the draw today- a team in the lower leagues and he could give them both a run out and rest fielden and an other. A SL team he'll rest fielden this week ready for the CC game is my thoughts.

I would leave George out for an extra forward on the bench. It is good bringing him on for his pace but his defence is not the greatest. I would be a bit more conservative particularly if HKR are playing their big pack.

Like i said they are looking at playing some big players and that is how they steamrollered Saints.

I would like to see Fielden rested a bit though. There are bigger games to come although you are right we will see what the CC draw brings.

I would also leave George out- but I think his defence was pretty good on sat- a few solid tackles to prevent a break/offload.

I'd want us to go with out strongest pack for this one

Rovers are no mugs and took us to the cleaners last season

Hull kr struggle for consistency .. they are abit like cas, good in attack but dodgy in defence, all said we should be winning this one and keeping pressure on wigan at the top.

they have patterson who looks a really good player and needs to be kept quiet along with dobson.

high balls to eden and hodgson please!!!!!!!!! just attack them and 9/10 will come up trumps.

always rated alex brown was abit unlucky jerry came along at the same time.

hear that hull kr are bringing 6000 fans over so should be a good crowd.

well now that we have a decent cup draw i would suggest full strength for this game rest players against batley and bring them back for catalan, hull kr will punish us if we are not up to the scratch

A lot of players with a point to prove against us, hodgson, Carlisle, brown, Horne, walker, eden and playing at the John smiths won't hold any fear for them. We have to close down Dobson, stop the offloads and hit them hard early. IF we play as we can we should win this, but we will have to put in a good performance.

Think we need to be a bit more cute than just bomb Eden all game, sure he will probably drop a few but that does not guarentee points in itself and we need to concentrate on what we do well and not get too distracted in being one dimensional and not doing what comes naturally.

I also would worry if every time we are on the last KR's forwards know exactly what will happen as they may well see it as a chance to take out a few free hits on Broughy.

I've seen Eden drop one ball all season and that was when he fell to his knees. The only high balls he struggles with is the ones he fails to go for and decides to leave so I'll be more then happy if you kick to him.

Now Eden and a lose carry is another matter altogether.

He may not have dropped many but he hasn't had broughy kick to him yet. Leaving kicks will work for us too.we know from experience He's too dumb to lack confidence so he won't be nervous if he makes mistakes.
Kicking early will work as his positional sense shows his inexperience.
It's what he can do with ball in Hand we need to watch.

Rovers are a very dangerous team in attack and more importantly if they get some tries will just grow and grow

Our defence across the park needs to be spot on

unlikely you will see resting players vs batley, wont be easy, will be a full team sent.

maybe not bomb eden so much but certainly hodgson and attack his side, shocking in defence he is.

No he isnt. He is actually good under the high ball and is a good tackler.
