No tempting fate

it its key!

You missed Lincoln Withers. We've not got a big squad either. Gonna be seriously patched up on Sunday, bad enough playing you lot when we're at full strength!

Rate Dobson and Welham, will Burns be playing, fiery character and will be interesting to see the first tackle between him and Broughy ;-0)

Hodgson always did well for us and knows how to score, Eden sometimes shocking under the high ball and he will struggle with Broughy's towering bombs, would also like to see us putting some grubbers thru to turn Alex Brown cos he a big fella and not the most agile winger in the world.

Forwards need to dominate from minute 1 and get us on the front foot, need a crowd of well over 8000, nearer 10000 if Rovers bring a few thousand

No visiting team has brought the numbers they usually do this season though

Attendances are down across the competition. Think I read only wakefield and Leeds are about same average as last year - and it was pointed out Leeds have played the three teams who traditionally give their highest crowds.

Our home average is only 4% down on last year but it's the away days where numbers are well down. It's the easiest way to save cash.

See you Sunday fellas, although I never enjoy visits to your place.

how long till chan is back with us?

piece on eden today saying he knows nothing of the clause in his contract to return to the giants so thats aload of rubbish. bit strange of of MD to come out with this, guess it was just to appease the angry fans

?? What piece where? KR chief exec confirmed the clause at a fans forum at the beginning of the year- and the giants also reported a similar clause.

Yeah it is a bit baffling

its in todays examiner and eden says he knows nothing about it and its upto him where he plays end of

wardle 13/8 to score a try tomorrow

I'm really looking forward to this game. This is a game we would possibly have lost last year and for me winning this with a good overall performance will be a measure of this year and convince those still not convinced that there will be no mid season slump in 2013.

Do not think today will prove that one way or another.....saying that the 3 game run of KR/Catalans and Wire (and possibly Widnes and Bradford to follow) will tell us alot about where we are and how the season may pan out.

I guess 3 wins would be par out of those 5 games but the potential swing either way will tell us an awful lot.

Yeah I get what you mean about the next few games but I just think if we win today some of the stay aways may be convinced to come back.

I hope you're right Jools

I do have a sneaky feeling we might get a decent crowd today too
Watch us get a shocking crowd and a dismal performance

very windy today, need a few big brough bombs!

already two wins this month, win this one and that is already a good month for us

id of taken 2 wins minimum, widnes, cas, hull kr.. catalans away wont be easy. and hopefully a cup win

I'm happy to write off Cats away so long as we pick up 2 today

If you don't score over 50 today I will be amazed

Nearly lol

Well we won. But I'm rather unhappy we conceded 30 points
