Full squad for us I think and we rested quite a few last week. Should be a good game.

Could do with you beating them for us, nevermind yourselves



Will Hull have a cup final hangover? Cant really say last week was for them as they rested players.

Anyone else think O'Loughlin's body has finally packed in on him ?
Hard to see him getting back in the squad now

These "he's pulled out of the warm up" injuries that turn into 6 weeks have become far too common. I thought he had another couple of seasons left in him but I think that's highly doubtful now.

IF both hull and wire win, then wigan wont be able to finish top 2 as their points difference is too much to make up on fc

Top spot has gone for us realistically. If we were in better form I'd be fully advocating resting players now ready for the semis but 2 wins from the last 7 games says we desperately need to find some form with a settled team.

It's the same drill everytime nowadays. He gets a one week injury which turns in to a five or six weeks injury. I've been his biggest supporter on these boards over a number of years but the time has come for him to call it a day I'm afraid. He isn't contributing much when he's on the field nowadays and in a salary cap era we need reliable players especially if they're on very good money.

A full time place on the coaching staff should be his reward for his years of top service starting from next season.

How much of his salary is on the cap these days? Are we hiding some of it as he's also a "coach"? If not much of it counts I'd give him one more year and if he can't play 20 games then he should retire. I think he's contracted until next year anyway.

Reward?

If he is registered as a player, then all of his salary should count on the Cap. That said, if he has been there for more than 10 years then the first £50k of his salary is exempt from the cap.

I think we might pinch a win at Hull but a win the following week is asking a lot.
I'm banking on Hull not being back at their best and Wigan putting so much into the game that they can't be beaten, rather like Widnes against us.
I hope we don't get any suspensions after tomorrow, but it will be that sort of game don't you think.

Big crowd expected for the game. Very few tickets left for the East Stand.

3 blocks for wigan fans in the east stand, dont know how many wigan will bring, shame we cant put away fans back behind the sticks and have the whole east for home fans again

Be lucky if theres 500 Wigan fans there, i reckon. Never travel well for both FC and KR games.

WTF was that play the ball before the Hull try? Atrocious.

Hull are nowhere near their best and still look more dangerous than us

Another e half from us. Why the hell do I bother?

Every game I hope for improvement, and nearly every game it's the same crap. Dropped ball, when we do keep hold you could read it with your eyes closed. Wane is deluded if he thinks it's just a matter of holding the ball and better timing. We just don't have a clue at all. We are the most boring, predictable and clueless attacking team in SL. I'm sick of watching it, I'm even more sick of moaning about it.

I'm with you mate. I really wish I didn't care.

It's so frustrating, that try from George proves what he can do wth some space to work with but they don't create any. There is no movement or dummy runs in the middle, the whole attack is laboured and easy to read.

Just turned it off after Tierney's fook up to gift them a 40/20.

Every week is like the first game of the season, no links, no fluency, no chemistry at all. It's like 13 random players thrown together with no leaders.

Sneeeeeyynnndd

Hope this gives us enough momentum and confidence to win at Wire but skill levels are still way off and if we defend like we did in the first half Wire will rack up a score that we can't steal another win from!

Jeez, Shaun Wane looks rough!

A really determined effort in the second half, though, if still alarmingly lacking in polish. Determined defences are *still* pushing us over the touch-line. Can we not learn? Some great efforts in defence from Bateman and Tautai, and Gelling was very good too. Sam looks convincing in the air, but can he ever beat a man again?

[edit And as Wigg'n points out, if Hull had taken their chances in the first half they could have put us to bed before the interval.
