| Quote ="Paul T - HKR"Rovers have flattered only to deceive too many times this season, so I am expecting it to happen again this weekend. The potential is there but you never know whether Jeckyl or Hyde will turn up!
Hopefully, fingers crossed, the confidence gained from the weekend and the back-to-back wins will instill more self-belief - a characteristic I think has been missing at times this season. IMO part of the reason for this stems from giving the opposition far too much respect - and I include Sandercock (his obsession with the oppositions 'internationals') - which tends to act against as opposed to inspire. Of course, give the opposition a modical of respect, but thats all. Don't linger on it to the extent you are beat before a ball is kicked. Once out on the pitch respect has to be earned.
Depending on which Rovers team turns up, they are in with a shout or a hiding to nothing! No prediction from me this week lol!'"
I think your analysis is way off the mark.
Rovers have only lost one Super League game at home all season and are averaging 42 points per game. The one defeat was probably one we were not expecting against Bradford. We've rarely looked solid in defence but with scores of 36,36,24,40,44 and 70 in our 6 home games so far you might say we've not needed to be.
There's nothing Jeckyl & Hyde about that, in fact our home form has been very consistent. Doesn't mean we'll beat Warrington but no reason not to expect us to be competitive.
Away well that's another story we've lost 6 times, 5 of those to teams in the top 7. So even there you could say nothing too unpredictable.
As for the internationals comment - if you seriously think Sandercock saying the blindingly obvious to a journalist makes a jot of difference well I'd be surprised. Mancini telling the world that Man City had 'no chance' didn't seem affect his players confidence too much as I recall.

| Sandercock cant win, people want him to to be more savvy like Morgan with the media; but its the same people that slated Morgan for spending to much time in the Sky studio and not enough time on correcting errors.

| think u could be underestimating our defence a bit but ure very dangerous side, and wire will have to work hard if they want to win this game i think close call 18-32, think we will flatter the score close to the end.

| If we miss another 48 tackles like last week Wire will murder us, simple as. If we can sort out our tackling then you never know.

He said we would lose last week as well, so I won't be losing sleep over his opinion.
I don' see us winning but +14 looks good for a few quid on us. I also fancy Hull at +6 to beat Saints.

| I see still no Webbo in the 19 man squad!
1 to 7 as last week.
Mika is back and might get the shout over Horney, and maybe Wattsy will replace Murrell but that would be a big call seeing how Scott is showing some good form coming off the bench. Sandy might think he needs another big unit on the bench so he just might go with Wattsy. Tough call.

Training in HDM? Probably picked up a nasty paper cut ruling him out for another month.

Get him on the pitch whilst you can as he may be out for a month when he strains a toe nail on Monday.

| Based on his last 2 performances, Hall deserves to keep his right centre role. It's Latus who worries me, we are desparately short of cover on our flanks.

| Could be another of those see saw games where rovers either come back from a big defecit or throw away a good lead. Think wire will be very focused though and desperate not to let wigan get too far in front. Think the bookies have this one about right

Latus is a trier, he's neither a winger or S/L standard, but he gives his best every week, and to be fair to him, he's pretty usefull near the try line.

They also had a walk in the park last week and even rested some players while rovers had all of the emotions of a roller coaster derby win. The mid table teams all seem to lack the ability to win intense games week after week

Yer its hard to back up after a tough derby game, but as long as Rovers have a real good go at them ill be happy.

Forecast to rain steadily all day pal, my advice - bring a brolly.
Oh, thank you for using my favourite ever word - bobbins. Much under-utilised this side of the Pennines. My love of this vocab can be traced back to the late Frank Sidebottom, RIP.
What do we think, are wet conditions likely to cramp the Wire style?
