It will probably be freezing and a poor game but any rugby is better than sitting at home. I'd go with:

FB 1 Sam
RW 2 Charnley
RC 3 Goulding
LC 4 Carmont
LW 5 Richards
SO 29 Powell
SH 7 Leuluai
P 22 Dudson
H 9 McIlorum
P 10 Mossop
SR 11 Hansen
SR 12 Hock
LF 13 O'Loughlin

S 6 Finch
S 14 Lima
S 16 Farrell
S 17 Tuson
S 21 Lauaki
S 24 Gelling
S 25 Mellor
S 28 Logan

Bring on Gelling, Finch and Mellor for Carmont, Powell and Leuluai at half time. The rest of the subs are all in the pack so just roll them on and off as usual. I couldn't really find a spot for Flower in this one but I look forward to seeing him play

I don't think O'Loughlin or Sam will play.

I'd be happy with that it give's a few new signings to show what they have got and a few fringe/younger player's to prove their worth for the up and coming season. I'd like to see Logan Tomkin's given a chance from the bench although I've heard he isn't Wigan standard I'd still like to see him in this friendly to see what he can offer.

I'd probably take lockers out of my team and give tuson a game. Lockers is coming back from injury and is obviously going to play in his testimonial. Two games in 4 days might be a bit too much for him.

I'm sure we'll see Russell in this one and probably will be the 'youngster' we see break through this year (hopefully along with a half back).
I hope Powell plays well also, I know it's only a friendly but it'd be encouraging.

It's worth throwing 5 or 6 first teamers in for this one just to back the youngsters up but I wouldn't go with many more then that.

The Giants and Salford games should be the main fixtures for us. I'd use this simply to blow some cobwebs off and see which youngsters deserve to be in the mix for those next 2 friendlies and the start of superleague.

A bonus guys is that you'll be under cover as your allocated the Roger Millward stand as we are dismantling the North stand in preparation to start building work on our new stand.

Here's your view.



And as a plus our new stand for 2013.

so are we likely to be in the south stand ala the river humber for the league game?

No!, as Easty has stated in above above post, you are been allocated part of the Roger Millward stand due to the start of construction of new North stand.
Hope to see a good few of you there and have a safe journey.

He asked for the league game?

Also does that mean that it's unreserved seating in the Roger Millward? And how much does that stand hold?

I've already purchased my tickets for this game from Wigan which cost £10 for me & £8 for my young daughter, however, Hull KR's online ticket office is selling the same junior tickets for just £5

For the league game you'll be at the south end of the ground ............................................but wait but you'll be in the current North stand that you've being in for previous games.

It's simply getting dismantled and re-erected at the south end of the ground. So from 2013 nobody should have to view a game from that far back again. As an added plus it will have a fancy TV behind it. You'll have to turn your heads to see it though

Are there any plans to re develop the south end after the north has been done? What will it take your attendance up to once completed?

They've looked at getting a new South stand with grants by building an olympic sized swimmming pool for the community etc but those plans are a long way off. The current North stand will sit at the South end for a few years I feel. The current North is only 1261 so improving it is a must.
The new North stand will be 2600 much needed seats. Main priority for me though is completing the unfinished east stand. for which we've had 750k funding in place for at least a year, However planning permission denied until the North stand is built due to not having the correct amount of disabled spots. The Clubs offered lots of alternatives but it's not being satisfactory for the local council.

We are so in need of extra capacity but with the correct vantage points. Millward stand which is our West stand is sold out to season pass holders with only restricted viewing seats left. And the East stand sells out most weeks and when it's sold out people certainly won't go in the current South and are not keen on the North for whatever reason.

Official club reply... "Due to en error from hosts Hull KR, fans who have purchased concessionary tickets via the DW Stadium ticket office have been charged £8 istead of £5. To reclaim the difference take your match ticket to the Craven Park ticket office before kick off on Sunday"

RESULT

Not a fan of friendlies, but with feck all to cheer at Latics this winter, I'm foaming at the mouth at the thought of some RL. See you Sunday.

depending which website you look at weather could be +2 or minus 1,hope the game goes ahead

Car is pretty frosted over this morning, massive cold snap accross Britain this weekend apparently. Still think the game will go ahead mind

A whopping 5 degrees at 3pm according to this www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2645425

True. They'd only really need to make that call at around 11/12 though tbh and knowing the forecast and that there's a game scheduled, I'm sure they'll have it well covered and the heating on (if they have it).

Will 100% be covered but we don't have any heating.

Its a lovely sunny day on the east coast! rugby timeee!!!

The game is on
