Good - Crosby has been dreadful and Bowen is practically useless on a heavy, early season pitch.

Will be surprised if we win this one, although if we defend with the same intensity as Saturday and hold onto the ball we should have a chance.

Hampshire
Charnley
Gelling
Sarginson
Burgess
Williams
Smith
Clubb

Sutton
Farrell

Tautai
Patrick
Greenwood

C Farrell and Logan missing out

Relieved to see that Tautai has recovered.
If we have enough in the tank we should be fine.
(If Rocky catches the kicks they are certain to send his way.)

The concerning thing about Tautai is he's played three games and picked up three injuries.

Looked good when he's been on the field though.

H.K.R squad.

Hull KR (from): Allgood, Bailey, Blair, Boudebza, Burke, Campese, Carlile, Cockayne, Dixon, Goulding, Green, Horne, Kelly, Larroyer, Mantellato, McCarthy, Salter, Sio, Walker

Big bad Ryan Bailey makes his debut, should be like old times.

2nd Hull KR debut for Bailey.?

Looking forward to seeing Greenwood get his chance.

He definitely stood out in a well beaten London pack so let's see how he goes for us.

Anyone know when mossop (biscuits shoulders) is fit, I thought pre season he was fit for Workington but never heard out else since

I stand corrected, it is his home debut. Cheers.

Wane was interviewed on Wish FM earlier, he said Mossop is fit and doing what is asked of him in training. He was due to play for Workington again last weekend but their game got postponed. From the interview I wouldn't at all be surprised to see him come into the squad for Patrick (form), Sutton (rest) or Tautai (injury).

That squad should be strong enough towin easily. still not a fan of Patrick, but he deserves some more settling in time, I guess

From the two League games we upped our game massively v Brisbane and a continuance of that should get us the win. Starting props will be interesting as Clubb and Tautai were devastating in their first appearance off the bench against Brisbane.
Hampshire at fb will give extra pace and the back three of Charnley, Hampshire and Burgess have pace to burn.
HKR pitch may be better than we think. It is near the coast and windy which may well have helped dry out the surface more than anticipated.
With his team selection Waney does appear to think we have the beating of them. HKR have conceded 40 points in their last three games.

Sunday will say a lot for our chances this year IMO and will give us a good indication of our attitude in comparison to last year. These are the games we struggled in last year and we just didn't seem intense enough in them.

A good solid performance with less errors then we've been making would be nice and would really set us up.

As for the team C Farrell and Logan Tomkins to miss out for me.

We've not really had any bad weather this week so pitch should be in good condition,
really not confident on this game we have shipped in 86 points in 2 games and if you count the wire friendly it would be 126 points in 3 so I'm hoping you playing 90 minutes against brisbane has taken a lot out of your tank and we actually start to look like a team, all ifs and buts that need to go in our favour for us to pick up our 1st win

Spot on , for top 4 spot I would say this is a must win game, see if we can get that Yorkshire monkey off our back, or sheep even, see if we have learnt those lessons from last year, first two games have seen a points improvement on last season even though it is early days, weather forcast looks ok, looking forward to it.

Heard theres been a late change to the squad. Mossop IN and Sarge OUT.

Any news on what's up with Sarginson? Last thing we need is an issue with him. I was hugely impressed by him last Saturday after a long break and no pre season games.

What an engine!

Sarge was at the under 16s today. Right knee was strapped up and was limping.

Mossop was withdrawn from our (Workington) squad this morning and we heard he's in the Wigan squad tomorrow in place of Tautai.

Any update on the changes to the team.

Rocky; Josh, Gelling, Joel, Joe; George, Matty; Sutton, Micky, Tautai; Faz, Faz, Bateman
Clubb, Patrick, Moose, Powell

confimed line-up (on wigan twitter feed)

Surprised Logan has been dropped for Powell but I quite like Powell as bench hooker.

If Joel is going to play centre for a few weeks then I hope someone teaches him where the sideline is.

says on bbc sport that Thornley is at 6

Sounds like once again we've been ing awful.
