After Albert Kelly won us the game at home, thoughts on the game at Salford.
It won't be easy, chance for them to win back to back games for the first time this season.
With our points difference being poor at least a draw is required.

we need a win. if we still aim to get in the top 8 we need beat Salford and win the Derby. Then hypothetically ( depending on Widnes ) we should be able to field a weakened team for Saints prior to the Cc semi. Any other outcome puts massive pressure on the squad till the end of the season.

I'm sure everybody at KR will realise this and Chester will expect to hit Salford hard and get the win. Salford however may have other ideas!

My thoughts exactly we can't go into the saints game needing a result it has to be over 1 way or another

If we win on Sunday, and you win the next two games, you still couldn't risk the last result, in case we beat Wigan on the last game (Although as it's on a Thursday you will know the result)

A win on Sunday will do for a start, it wont be plain sailing but at least this part of the season is getting interesting in our area.

Without wishing to sound too defeatist but it's a fact that has to be stated ...

SL (away)
Played 9
Lost 8
Won 1

Do we honestly expect a change in fortune?

If you believe in sods low no but if you truly believe YES it has to happen why not now

I've got a feeling in my water that Rovers will win this Sunday. For this to happen, we need:
- To stop gifting sides their first 2 tries, as we have in the last 2 games
- To tighten up around the ruck
- To protect the ball better inside our 20
- To turn up with a bit more desire, intensity, physicality and line speed
- To hope the weather on Sunday is dry

Rovers by more than 10 in the event of the above, Salford by more than 10 if not.

You'll win on sunday. salford in disarray without a coach

Did you intentionally type in a Hull accent.

Change the record, pr1ck

Time to give an airing to the well worn forum trope of the exploding irony meter.

Yes, he's a one-note gormer, but as irritations go it really should be minor. You should try living with my effin Internet connection.

Anyway the AUP about insults, final reminder.

I would be quite annoyed if I was a Hull fan about playing before everybody else in the final round. It might not matter, but the way things look at the moment, it could easily.

Ha ha.

I come in peace JTP.

Salford are in disarray, yes, but suspect that the arrival of Aussie supremo Tim Sheens at training today to take charge of same and other rugby matters at the Red Devil's until the end of the season could just kick-start this bunch. Just as Brian Smith is doing at the Wildcats.

What might be a problem that undermines success is resentment and bad feeling caused by some players and staff allegedly not receiving wages on time, this according to their fans forum.

Scott Taylor is sulking as he has no spare pennies to splash out on his beloved extra pies.

Tim Sheen's has won everything in his career, Sunday will go to the wire.

bit like our game 50/50

I'd throw discipline in there too. In/around the ruck is one of our biggest frailties for me. This certainly seems to be emphasised more away from home, but then just about every other aspect of our play is too, in comparison to home form.

More stats ...
From the regular (9) away games thus far (not incl. magic)
@ HT we've been behind 8 times. Only vs FC have we been ahead.
Indeed if you expand to second half too, then we've only won the 2nd half twice ... (FC 2-0 / Widnes 12-6)
In short 18 halfs of footy, we've won 3.
We're also defensively consistent too ... 136pts conceded 1st half and 135pts conceded 2nd half.

Is this the 1st post you have made since you confirmed what a buffoon you are last week,and then disappeared accordingly.

Not sure where that stat came from, but we beat Huddersfield and Wigan back-to-back over Easter?

I'm hopeful this time around we'll have a head coach who wont drop our star youngster (Niall Evalds) for no apparent reason and will play Rangi back in his best position at 6.

Sheens has been taking training this week, so I expect our lads to be fired up.

Ps - DONT LET THE BALL BOUNCE!

It took smith a few weeks to turn things around at wakey so no reason to believe sheens will make a significant difference so quickly. I just think rovers have a bit more momentum than salford and need to win the game more than they do. If I'm wrong I'll hold my hands up but I don't think I will be

I think you're getting me mixed up with another poster love

No. He really isn't.

ignore him, we do on our board lol

YES i did i lived in hull for 60 years so i think i do know the accent if you check my avatar i put wos from hull hull speak or it was

Put's me out of my misery and I have the weekend still to enjoy, hopefully we wont be relying on you and Catalans to get beat.

I think it will go down the last weekend with us winning on Sunday and you getting beat, you win the derby and it goes down to the last weekend, i fancy us both to win and it come down to points difference.
