I'd be even more pleased if he stopped writing rubbish!

Bookies are giving us 12 points start. I think that's a good bet with their injuries.

Morris is close to fitness. Match fitness another matter obviously

Still 14 points with Bet365 William Hill
Looks good value unless KR are kidding with their injury situation.

Maybe you'd be better off saving your prayers for the Warrington game

To be fair for us one win would be a decent run.

I'd sacrifice Miller for Hall. Millers been riding his luck in terms of team selection since his display against Warrington and aside from that has done nothing in a WTW shirt. I still think he'd be a decent centre but a 6 he is not. No doubt someone will pop up saying Brian Smith knows better but Miller is the worst halfback we've had for quite some time - Finn isn't far off. Also Gibson should be dropped.

The problem for me is that he clearly has it in him.
I thought he was great against Hull in both games
I don't see him have bad games so much, as just disappear. That needs to be rectified for him to keep his place.

Saying that, I haven't seen anything from Hall against SL opposition apart from Cas away last year and he was full back.
He goes missing far more than Miller does, has no defence and can look uninterested at times.
He has got a long kicking game though, and can open defences down the middle, so would be handy.

Problem is, having it isn't enough for either of them. Doing it is the part we struggle with.

Maybe Smith might be struggling with his selections who knows, but I'll take his selection over somebody what can't remember Miller's contribution against Hull FC but thinks he had a sparkling game against Warrington.

Gibson has been dropped.

I can think of 2 worse ones without having to rack my brains.....Tommy Lee....Jeremy Smith.

It looks promising that Simon is not playing in that game. Neither is Annakin.
You'd think that means they are both in the squad for Rovers.

Hall is still laying though so half backs are the same.

Anakin had to be helped from the field with a nasty looking leg injury last so can't see him playing.

To me Craig Hall has done enough in both friendly games to be considered for 1st team selection, looks like he is not wanted

or he's been considered and decided he is third choice.

Annakin and Simon are in the squad for HKR, with DK missing

Jeremy Smith hardly played which is quite telling so I'll give you that one.

Tommy Lee did alright for a makeshift halfback and considering he played behind a pack a thousand times worse than Miller did last year or this year. Lee was heavily criticised for his defence which I never really got because, unless your a Jose Mourihno type of coach, you don't play someone at halfback for their defence.

Tommy Lee played for years at half-back before he came to us so I'm not sure that's classed as makeshift. I agree about the beaten pack though, but that's nothing new for us. It wasn't only Lee's defence that was bad, his skill levels were very poor and still are. Best place for him is hooker where he can pinch a living like he is now.

Barely a line on the captain being dropped. No mention of Kirmond being injured. It must be purely down to form.

Scruton in the 17 so hopefully is OK to play. Molloy to take Kirmond's place possibly? Walton to take Gibson's place at centre.

A bench with Simon, Anderson, A.Tupou and Sio looks a strong one if that's selected....

Tbf Gibson had a mare last week and kiro form has been crap

Don`t know what Hall has done wrong as it seems strange that our most creative player in pre season ( I know not much competition ) can`t get a run out in the least creative side I have seen in a long time. Can anybody tell me how having watched Miller a coach decides that Miller offers more to a side that Hall. Beggars belief

I reckon it will be Johnstone back on the wing and Tupou back in the centre, Possibly Lyne playing on the right and Johnstone on the left.

Molloy for Kirmond could be a good call or perhaps Simon to start.

The three quarters is the most interesting.
Do we play Walton or Bill Toupu in the centres, which would make room for Johnstone o do we revert to the Lyne, Arundel, Toupu and Johnstone that played against Widnes and have Walton on the bench to cover second row and give options if someone picks up an injury.
Brave to drop Kirmo but, the guy isn't at his best just at the minute and certainly Molloy would give some extra power in the middle.

We have a real chance on Sunday, especially with KR's injury list but, If we c keep Kelly quiet, then maybe we can bag our first 2 points of the season.
Mantellato is a huge miss for them.

I would have England as Capt without kirkmond,, lead from the front!!!

On the Sky website it states Kirmond is injured but does not specify the injury unlike it does with other players in the article.

Big game and best chance of 2 points..forwards like Simon and Molloy must play and the pack needs to really turn up and dominate Hull KR (like having 6 x Anthony England's on the pitch)...
