Why you going on about Hull FC, I didn't mention them or Shaul?

Just like your chairman did in the HDM Q&A published yesterday, totally unprompted uncle Neil started waffling on about Hull FC

Cop out of an answer, hey ho!

We’ve got a huge front row rotation, athletic back row, two good organisers at Half Back and pace across the three quarters complimented by an experienced Full Back.

I also pointed out some of our major flaws so no suggestion that we are unbeatable. As for not matching us for size, that’s based on this game and who’s in HKRs squad right now, it’s not aimed at every RL team.

I’m not sure how else anyone could describe the Wakefield team other than how I did

Didn't Want any passing Wakey fan to think you were a Robin.You gave us the benefit of your view on Grix and I compared him to your FB. Wrap up warm tonight it's a miserable cold day.Just got in from bit of graft and it's bitter. Shower then beer for me so I will keep an eye on how you go against Hudds. Hudds getting 10 start and in this weather may be a decent punt? Done Mamo or Rankin 1st try.

Don't think Rovers season will ever start. lol

I wouldn't want them to think that either.



We should get the job done, but definitely worth a punt. Crap weather, perhaps one eye on the Aus trip, some players haven't had a run out in pre-season, you never really know what's going to happen in these early games.

Why is it a cop out and why the snide remark. I'll be delighted if you're right, my appraisal of our team is just a little more modest than yours. Can't anyone have an opinion that differs from yours. Jeez I thought I was an ar*e at times but you're something else.

Don't worry.At least you support the same team.We are infested with smug FC fans and weird FC fans pretending to be Rovers fans.Go figure?

his opening post was as if we should not bother turning up, and grand final awaits you, whilst wakey have made good progress over the last few years, including some very astute recruitment , theres still more work to do before you order your tins of brasso

Hey you were the one who made comment on my post fella, not the other way around.
Where did I suggest you can’t have an opinion, all I asked for was a bit of qualification but as is often the case you seem happy to criticise but can’t back it up. The remark wasn’t snide either, it’s right there for you to read and it was nothing more than a typographical shrug of the shoulders after you decided not to give a proper answer.

Nowerdays I post on RLFans about half a dozen times a month so when it comes to being an I don’t pass enough comments to qualify.

I’ll could take an educated guess on who’d be the between the two of us but let’s go to the VT and put it to the vote eh?

I didn’t really say that though did I, the only area I suggested that you can’t compete is on size in the front row. Sometimes the best way to beat a big pack is to go with a smaller faster pack that has players with good footwork and thats all I suggested.

Well an interesting first 2 game.Didnt expect leeds to win pre game but they deserved it.The new Warry half looked like a tubby hooker?Masila was quieter than iv ever seen him but on paper they look good.Thought the new coach had the look of Raymond off the old American sitcom? Thought/hoped Hull may lose but obviously not. Bad night on the betting

I think we have a better 1,6,7 and 9 than them. However our defence is the key as it will be all year.
Wish Trinity well but big clubs were poor last year..Wigan ,saints, wire so 5th flatters them.
One thing is sure. Sheen 's team will be better prepared than Chester's

McGuire yes but Atkins/Marsh?Did you watch the pre season show? Fifita and Pauli looked like wrestlers plus plenty of bulk to back them up.Not looking forward to the Well tmz as bloody freezing but hoping for a morale boosting win.Called both games wrong tonight so we will see?

You'll get steamrollered by their big pack. miller and finn will have a field day off the back of their go forward and their outside backs will run you ragged. wakey by at least 20

We will see who is better prepared after tonight, i don`t know anything for sure to be honest and neither do you.

Regarding your "Big clubs had a poor year last year" a lot have been saying that about Cas over past 3 or 4 years, until last season.

There is no chance i would have McGuire over Miller, and Grix was consistently one of the best FBs in SL last season IMO.

What, you would not have the "Best stand off in Superleague" in your team

I dont think you would find many teams that would tbh.

As i said previously, bar a few great performances he has offered very very little to our team over the past 2 or 3 seasons and it has been massively frustrating for us to watch, I would of been disappointed had we offered him a playing deal but for some reason a lot of KR fans seem to have this opinion of this great player they have got. He WAS a great player - Now in all honesty he would have been decent in the championship next season.

Chezzie, seems to have assembled quite a well balanced, huge pack, probably the biggest front row in SL but Hopefully Tim has our boys all well motivated .In some quarters of the media we seem to have been written off already, but we ourselves have some size and i think this game will go down to the wire, our three quarter line are virtually unknowns to the rest of super league, and i think they will surprise some teams - hopefully starting tonight.... May the best team win.

May the best team win.'"

Waky are a very good and established SL side who have made some very good additions to there already good squad and the return from injury for Johnson will feel like a new winger for them, Rovers will do very very well if they managed to get a win on Sunday Waky start big favs but Rovers will surprise a few and will have a great crowd a support behind them, Waky don't do that well in Hull so you never know .I will go with Waky by 12, but hope its a good game welcome back to super league Rovers and enjoy

Some good news for Rovers to take from last nights game is that Huddersfield are dreadful. They have 3, maybe 4 decent players, and then a bunch of plodders who don't look bothered.

Has anyone ever noticed that Homme Vaste means Vastman in French?

and location Vastmanland??

Think someone has a crush on you Vasty!!

Giants had a few missing and to be fair where the best team just, in the first half think they may scrape in the 8 tbh don't agree they will be worse than Salford cats widnes or Rovers

Isn't it using a Big Bang Theory avatar as well? (I'm guessing so but to be honest I don't watch the show.)

I prefer "He" rather than it as i am a male human and not an object, although all the females tend to view me as an object i get used to it.

To answer your question yes it is the actor Johnny Galecki, probably most famous for his role alongside Jim Parsons in the American series "The Big Bang Theory".

Yes my username translates to Vastman in England and Västmanland is a historical Swedish province, in middle Sweden.

Whether or not i have any affiliation to the great Vastman is nobody`s business but my own however i most certainly do not have a "Crush" on him as WTID1873 seems to have assumed.

Troll.
