The sad thing is is that the player pool is so small they probably won't be looking at another career opportunity, some other club would take them on.

I don't DENY that things at the club are “PRETTY BAD“ at the moment but I'M NOT DOWN

The Clash past me by but my misses loved The Housemartins so I’m going for Hull 4 London 0. My coats on and I’m waiting for the taxi.

It would be nice if we well up on the score and have a “happy hour” for the last 60mins or if not and it’s going a bit wrong we may to “think for a minute” to sort out……..anyone want to share a taxi

Following Grix press conference about potentially some injuries it will be an interesting squad announcement. He has basically nailed down that Lane will be playing in a different role too - potentially Centre, so does that mean Carlos is injured, or one of the wingers, and Briscoe will go back to the wing?

Surley if Carlos is injured Briscoe and Chamberlain will play centre, he could potentially play 9 if Balmforth or Smith have taken a knock, hopefully he'll stay in the backrow where he's been one of our stronger players this season.

I have a feeling that Balmforth will be dropped

Be interesting to see who's left out which is a rarity if Ashworth is fit out of the 21, can see Martin, Gardiner and Jebson left out /rested but reckon other one will be Ruan or Fash/Sao if not fully fit.

If we can get all 3 of Sao, Ashworth and Ese'ese in the team again then that is huge for us.
Being stuck in our own half, unable to make any headway, has made for grim viewing lately so a chance to get on the front foot for a change will be welcome.

Dreading it, think they’ll have too much for us. We lack any idea.

With that squad if all the main players play we should win comfy. How many London players would get into our 17.

We play with enthusiasm and use our brains we win.

Forwards are probably the best we've had all season, the spine however is so weak, do worry where the points would come from, London could well edge it.

They've got a few threats in their spine with Rourke, Leyland and Campagnolo, our pack should get on top but they're a hardworking unit. Least Meadows isn't playing, I've only seen him play well against us.

If everyone's good to play I'd go something like:

Moy
Briscoe
Carlos
Chamberlain
Martin/Barron
Walker
Charles
Ese Ese
Smith
Sao
Cartwright
Lane
Aydin

Ashworth
Eseh
Balmforth
Ruan/Fash

Ese'Ese will want a big game after the assault on his name in the last game

The whole team should, should want to right the wrongs on that awful performance

I'd probably give Martin a rest and give this game to Barron. Martin looked like he needs a rest in that Leigh game.

I know we had him at Hull a few years back, but I'd have the beinek (sp) as a back up forward for next season. He's looking like he's realising he can be SL quality. Big bloke,.runs hard and has a bit of an engine.

The london players are all too young for our recruitment strategy
Think Miloudi is probably the oldest at 30
I wouldnt write them off

True but we said the same when we played them in May.

I'm very nervous about the game. We are mostly awful at Magic, last year being an exception (our last win outside of Hull).

This one has a big fat L written all over it. Again, we'll be out enthused and outthought

That statement is the epitome of misery. Our forwards look miles better than of late, backs not bad. Granted halves not great but provides more experience for next season. Don’t go into motivational speaking. Hey come on be a bit more upbeat there are good reasons to be so

Agree with this, unfortunately.

We must have some of the most miserable downbeat Rovers fans on here.

Funny how all these fans who’ve rejoined the board, either no longer go or contribute with downbeat posts, makes you wonder whether they’re standing next to Bonaire (a Robine e) and the Eastander

To my knowledge I don't know bonaire or Jake but there's no way they are Rovers supporters. Can we knock that on the head. We [ido[/i sometimes get interlopers on here but they don't last long as they are so obvious.

As for being downbeat, it's understandable when you think that since that run of three wins in four games last summer we have won just three games out of twenty-eight and one of them was a last minute win.
