Rovers' home game Sunday 15th against Catalans.

There will be no Todd Carney to worry about. He is out for at least a month with broken ribs.
That was thanks to a crushing tackle last Saturday from his former Sydney Roosters team mate, now at Salford, Lama Tasi.

I expect Todd Carney to be replaced by Thomas Bosc.

Catalans attacking strings will be pulled by scrum half Scott Dureau, who is also the goal kicker.

Pity about Carney because I was looking forward to the battle of the half backs.

Same here, would have loved to see Carney out there. Looks like it could be another cracker, two teams who can score a lot points, really looking forward to this one!

You should get a chance to see him when Hull KR and Catalans have their return match in Perpignan on April 25th.

Its already booked, staying in Toulouse

I'm glad carney isn't playing anything to give us an advantage you can enjoy watching him against other teams

Could do with Zeb Taia tweaking a hamstring in training as well!

Looks like Catalan could have players returning after injury. Hope Rovers continue improving and to be fair our first two home games (and Wire away) the team have showed commendable effort and commitment and no shortage of skill. Both teams can score shedloads of points, lets just hope our attack is that bit sharper than theirs. Looks like being an entertaining game, hopefully played in good weather.

Catalans are my tip for a top 4 this season. They are a great attacking team with a bruiser pack.
Last time out at ours, Catalans attacked and scored freely on our right flank through Whitehead, Pomeroy and Oldfield but these 3 can also be dodgy in defence. Cory Paterson for Salford had a ton of success against them last week and made muppets of them.
Worryingly Tonga at left centre outside of Zeb Taia looks a major threat too and better than Millard.
We won't have to worry about Carney's long cut out passes and ability to break the line this week just Dureau's, so we might just have a outside chance containing them if they go wide.

A close win for rovers against a side I have had a small wager on to win the competition. We have done well against the cat's & I don't think we should fear any side this year, we have played some good rugby & will only get better.

Rovers by 12

Better get down to Perpignan in April to see Todd Carney play against Hull KR. He may be heading back to the NRL in 2016. www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/leag ... 44ala.html

Heading to the game today optimistic of seeing a good game and obviously a home win.It is strange to Every one seems to be waiting for take off, we have a good team, a good captain , what seems to be the ability to score points we just need to click.

Won

Bit iffy at half time like!

Well don't know what was said at half time but what a turn around. I thought that barnstorming run from welham that ended in charlies try just before half time was crucial and turned the game on its head.once we got on a roll it was fantastic rugby. Hard to say if cats were bad or we were that good as they just never got the ball. Hope that was a sign of things to come as it was great entertainment orchestrated by a great pair of half backs.

Unbelieveable performance and fantastic entertainment,worth the entrance fee just to see albert kellys try.Well done,come on you reds.

Stunned at that 2nd half

Allgood, what a pudding. he couldn't even put little Dureau to bed. seriously though he needs to put them brain farts to bed.

cracking effort from all the players today, gotta single out Campese and Kelly though. like chalk and cheese.

Arsene Wenger, Jean Paul Sartre, Asterix The Gaul, Beatrice Dalle, President De Gaul, Napoleon Bonaparte, Jean Capdouze, can you hear me? Your boys took one hell of a beating today!

gutted by result, but fair play good win by you guys

Rovers haven't put you at the bottom of the league. your teams managed to be that bad all
on its own.

Superb last 50 minutes lunt is going to be a great signing for us this year. Hope we can tie up a great big nasty prop this week and we really will be a team to be reckoned with. Up the robins !

Campese is just a master at what he does. What a Captain Marvel this guy is.

Kelly is off the cuff pure excitement

Sio, what a finisher this guy is.

Mantellato, boy can this guy kick.

Welham had a decent game *gulp*
