Gleeson wont play. Centres will be Welham and Salter. Withers will play 6. Hall FB. Only question is who on the wing. Brown or Caro. Likely to be Brown, he had a decent game scoring tries at their place.

Paea, Paterson, O'Hara wont play even if we somehow made GF, just the way its going to be i heard. Be nice to see Paea.

I do take your point about play-off football; the intensity raises and you do have a number of players who are well experienced in play-off football.

However, this version of Hull KR is not the Justin Morgan team with a wafer thin middle unit ready to be steam-rollered like skittles, we now have arguably the biggest pack in the league - certainly in terms of height and if Paterson and Paea are named in the 19 man squad later today then I just think we'll be too big, too strong and too aggressive for your side.

Don't get me wrong, a victory at your place certainly doesn't indicate we'd be contenders for the title, more of a case of that neither team finished anywhere near the top-four and we have the bigger and more aggressive set of forwards hence your recruitment of front-rowers for next season.

We'll know more when the 19 man squad is announced.

I've got a feeling Sandy has a few tricks up his sleeve...

Agree about Caro; the incident at Salford when he didn't try and dive in at the corner seems to have defined his ability to many Rovers' fans - even though he picked up a bad shoulder injury during the game.

He was going very well before this and instead of so called "supporters" picking him up, he received a torrent of abuse 7 days in a row on twitter - something he felt the need to comment on. It's instances like this when I really do despair at the idiots following our club.

I think the instance when he could have taken the London defence on the outside was something he chose not to do because of the grief he may have got if he had gone into touch.

I hope he puts this season behind him and has a real crack next year because it may be his last chance of making it as a top-flight rugby league player.

As for Brown, having watched the game back on Hullkr.tv, it was his centre Heil who was at fault for most of the tries. Of course he's done his best but he just doesn't have the awareness to play the game at this level because his decision making is absolutely shocking hence why I understand he's been released by the club.

Heil's had several opportunities, maybe 4 or 5 games to prove his progress but he's not taken them which is a shame because he looked to be the real deal with ball in hand.

At the end of the day not everyone can make it unfortunately...

Paea and Paterson in the 19. No Gleeson no Caro. Dobson and Horne in the squad also. Evryone else re-called as expected.

Hope Paea has a spell off the bench in him and Paterson can play. Hopefully Paea, Cox and Horne on the bench. Would counter Walmsley and Laffranchi.

Sandercock has played Brown's teams 5 times. So far he is played 5 won 5. 5 pretty comfortable wins also 2 against the Giants and the three this year. Hope these fellows are match fit as we may have a very good chance of winning this if they are.

Good enough squad to give stains a 'fisting' ....COYR!!!

Green & Griffin to miss out.

Possibly the most experienced side we've put out all year - too much for Saints to deal with there I think.

Can get 4/1 for Rovers with some bookies...

It would be great to beat them just for a repeat of the bleating and crying culminating in an official apology on their website the last time we beat them at their place. Shows what disdain they have for us.

Hope they lose the plot like they did in the cup game. Lucky to finish with 12 should have had 10 on the pitch by the end of the first half. If we keep it tight in the first 30 mins they will start losing the plot.

Sandercock deserves some luck and a win in the play offs.

Never mind keeping it tight mate, I think we could blow them away early doors - can't see them standing up to our physicality.

Just need to make sure we get a share of the ball then I think we'll win comfortably.

I hope so. Brown has picked bizarre light weight packs that Sandercock has just targeted and over run. They do have their 'big' forwards all back and Walmsley, Laffranchi, Soliola, Puletua but they have hardly been in good form. They may hold our bigger forwards early on but they may not be able to maintain it. A fit Paea to come on will have a big effect.

We'll miss Eden who has had three great games against them. Burns destroyed them in the first 30 mins of the last game.

Walker targeted Walmsley at Langtree and put him off his game.

No Carlise in the squad.

Does the General know something? If Paterson does play 6 it could be interesting. Be amazed if it doesn't slow our passing but it could be a master stroke against this opposition. We only have Hodgson and Withers for 9 so looks likely.

Unless there's some late squad changes...

Paterson at 6, I couldn't think of a worse move!

And you sir are obviously a wan.ker.

I hope your team continues to procure the same type of quality player as Caro in the future.

Given the type of person I believe you to be, I bet you took a fair few beatings. Sort of face you would'nt tire of punching....

I think Mr. Batten's avatar sums it up.

Nice contributions. You just finished school and got a go on the computer before mum gets home?

One of The Skein emailed me a couple of days ago to say his mate had been doing some work at CP and Paterson had been training at stand off so I think General Zod could well be pretty spot on with his selection.

Ta-ra chuck!

I don't know Netherton at six would have its negative side.

If Paterson does play six (like Farrel and Sculthorpe for GB in the past and Sinfield for Leeds) it could be a master stroke. Sandercock does like to overpower Brown's teams and so far has been successful at it. It means our kick options will be reduced and our timing may be off but Paterson will help manage Manu defensively and him and Cox on the right will take some controlling.
Really looking forward to this game.

What about womens rugby?

That must be why you've conceded 760 points in the league this season, which is higher than any year under morgan, including your first in SL

You don't half talk some shiit

And you sir are clearly know jack about the game of RL as your posts have proved.

Which just proves the fact that people (Well some) can completely get the wrong impression of another poster.

I will ask that just because you have shown your lack of knowledge on the subject you don't try and.
A: Take it out on me.
B: Show yourself up as keyboard warrior.

You are getting close to being banned but I'm willing to give you another shot. Try and play nice PLEASE.

You should have let him know you played for England in the gay rugby wold cup and were voted most handsome man of the tournament

Manu would have to do something he ain't done all season to be a threat, not been the same player since he left FC.

Good point, beards and guts.
