With McIlorum out, a lot on Logan Tomkins to lead the team around (only had 5 starts in career I believe) not a rubbish player admittedly but a lot of weight on young shoulders. The loss of sam Tomkins and Richards from the backs and Harrison Hansen from the engine room would affect any side. bowen at full back looks terrible under the high ball. Not the wigan of last year and shipping a lot of points, averaging nearly 30 points a game against, even when they won they're only game of the season they conceded 24. A tough ask all the same but stranger things have happened at sea. On top of this, if we can frustrate them the fans are quite fickle in pie land and can get on the teams back. not expecting a win but a small part of me see's a possible upset


till the video ref screws us over ....

(EDIT you forgot again bit)
sorry I had to edit it

I think we are going to get spanked!

I doubt you'll get spanked. You obviously haven't seen Sandy's masterplan ie training under the lights so the team peaks at the right time of day. I had to check the calendar to make sure it wasn't April 1st. He's a card is that Sandy!!

Desperate situations sometimes require desperate measures.

a tonking is on the cards again

But, will we compete until H/T and then crumble like a house of cards in the second half?
Or, will we be blown away in the first half and then start playing when the game has gone?
You never can tell which 40 we will turn up for this season!

Or alternatively we could turn up play for 80 mins, have an 90% completion rate, having our forwards roll over theirs and our half back combination ripping through gaps in the Wigan defence!!

Yaaarrrnnn, well that was a lovely dream.

Edited for maximum negativity!

Twice!

Seems like Sandy has us all up for this one.



The game is in the bag anyway, as we've been training all week under our fantasic flood lights.

It's spelt Tomkins why can't people get it right?

TBH,what harm can it do? Yeah,it probably won't make a difference,but maybe he's just trying to make the players believe they're better equipped for the match.
Maybe they should go the whole hog and drive around on a coach for 3 hours every afternoon aswell!

I actually don't think it is a bad idea to train under playing conditions certainly cannot do any harm, lets face it got to try to do something different. 1 win in the last 10 says something is not working.

Dont be coming on here with your sensible posts! This forum is reserved for drivel and criticism only!

Go on, be off with ya!!

3. The Ginger Turnstyle
4. Young prospect who will leave soon

7. Fat Ginner
8. 2 Games away from another ban
9. Josh Hodgson, East Hull's finest
10 1 Game away from another ban
11 Frenchie who's not as good as zod thinks
12 Fat Kumal
13 Was decent before he lost his sideshow bob look

faith in the side then stan......

You know me so well. In an attempt to cover both bases, I've stuck a tenner on us at 6-1.

What about the bench stan

I'm going tonight and I've never seen us lose at Wigan granted I haven't been since our first season in super league but still no defeat

Victor Meldrew eat your heart out.

The rollercoaster that is a sandercock coached hull kr will probably pullout a result tonight and win by 4! Or the rollercoaster that is a sandercock coached hull kr will probably get destroyed tonight Wigan by 40!

Meldrew could get a game at centre for us
