After both leeds and Salford winning tonight a win over Leeds at Home will give us 4 home games.

Not if hudds win their last 2 and salford beat us it won't.

rover 105? Wasn't that a rebadged mini metro?

We are fuct. We will lose next week, finish 12th and have a right 'kin set o fixtures to deal with.

I fear for us this time around, although I have been drinking considerably.

hudds will probably lose their last 2 and you'll be 11th if you lose to leeds. I don;t see us winning at salford as radford will rest a few

Spoon shoot-out, unless Hudds do the decent thing and lose to Saints and Wire.

Hitting bottom in round 23 would feel like an oddly fitting, if rather sad finale to our massively extended pre-season.

Reasons to go all out...
If we don't, it could be a reet hiding now Leeds seem to be finding some form.
If we did win, we'd have a good chance at 4 home games (might mean hoping for Hull win though).
Handing Leeds the spoon would be nice after they humbled us so thoroughly at Wembley.

Reasons to rest one or two who need it...
We'd probably still lose going all out anyway. Genuinely sorry to be defeatist.
We need as many healthy bodies as possible for the 8s

webster's interview on Hull KR tv implied pretty clearly that they've been looking at the options.

Yeah but you run a reserve team and have not had any injuries so should be able to field a strong side saying that you've fuct us right over losing to Leeds and Hudds and turning us over you probably will lose to Salford

Don't do HKR tv for Chadwick-related reasons, but I heard Webbo on t'wireless last night. He seems to consider finishing 11th will give us a good set of fixtures. I hope he wasn't dope tested last night.

Proper narked with my team right now. But I don't just sing "Rovers till I die", I will live it as well in the 8's. Batley here I come.

Bit off-topic, and it won't matter this year, I imagine - but really these games should kick-off simultaneously. If it came down to points difference, knowing how many you need to win by or can afford to lose by is a clear advantage.

Been saying the same for years, only in Sky-dominated RL can fairness be cast aside like a 1982 World Cup German-Austrian pact.

The only upside to finishing 11th is that we get Leigh at home

After watching leeds v Wigan and at kc they look somewhere near the old team.very aggressive and hall Watkins look dangerous again.if we turn up with crap attitude again we are going down.but the Warrington and hudds performances gave us a taste of the team cared.cant see us winning but hope to be proved wrong

rugby is all about momentum a win is not just important for your position but your confidence going into the qualifiers a lose could be a disaster in more ways than just league position plus its vital not to pick up injuries are you signing anyone Hudds have just added Ormsby from wire Leeds have added the hooker can not remember his name to be fair to Salford they are not a bottom 4 side they would be 6th if not for their deduction even London have brought in Soward are you in the loan market looking to boost your squad any more bad luck with injures could be a real blow ?

leeds are defending better and look a bit more organised but are still pretty poor in attack. It would be a poor decision to play a weakened side on Thursday IMO as you'll have a week off anyway before the middle 8's start so there would be no real advantage. If he does play a weakened side it says a lot about your thought process and that maybe you're expecting leigh to be your main rivals for a SL place and looking for a home game in the £ million shoot out.

I can't believe we're even thinking of playing a weakened side to me the sooner we get rid of Webster and his defeatist attitude the better

Garbutt expected to return this week. McGuire still a doubt but we haven't really missed him in recent weeks with Lilley playing well. Expect:

Sutcliffe
Briscoe Watkins Moon Hall
Lilley/McGuire Burrow
Galloway Segeyaro Garbutt
Ablett Ferres
JJB

Cuthbertson Singleton Delaney Keinhorst/Achurch

Oh cock!

Leeds 19 man squad is as I predicted above.

Thornley, Allgood, Horne & Clarkson all out of last weeks 19.

The ginner throws in the towel yet again. He did the same at wakey

If not injured, this is a stupid decision

But you also get 3 players back who look a better fit than those missing.
Green should give you more fire power than Clarkson and you get a decent hooker backing up.
Or is it me that's misjudged the quality of the 4 you have missing?
Whilst we played reasonably well against Wigan last week.
Wigan at full strength would probably have stuffed us.

Thornley and Allgood are a miss, Horne and Carlson, not so much so.

Are they injured? Because if they're not, it's a poor decision by Webster for IMO.

If it turns out that these players have just been rested for the middle 8's then we're basically writing off this game. That's just the sort of defeatist attitude that seems to have come from Webster over the past few weeks. A bit like when Chester said the Wakefield home game wasn't a must win earlier in the season. Look how that turned out. Webbo seems to be constantly playing down expectations and IMO this spreads to the playing group. I fear that, if the worst happens and we get relegated, then he'll end up as permanent head coach.

I have on good authority that they are injured. Plus some of the named others are still 50/50. The general comment was 'Busted Again'.

And now Webster talking to the mail says were looking for players before the cut off Friday but we will have to move people on to do this mmmn larroyer and boudbeza then...
