Good news. Wonder who will play hooker? Cas look very strong too with McShane and Watts back in the squad.

Doubt McShane is fully fit - thought they really missed him recently.

Wouldn't worry about Wire not wanting to win this one, should be a competitive game. We have another three days to see whether we're out of this season or not.

Really we need Warrington to do the job against Cas don't we? Not bothered at all whether we finish 5th or 6th, swings and roundabouts.

I'd rather be playing Wigan than Warrington in the 1st round of the playoffs, not really looking at the 2nd round as i don't really expect us to get there either way. Bonus if we do.
Got to beat KR 1st anyway, unless Warrington do us a favor on Thursday

I've not been impressed with Wigan most of this year, but I think if we drew Wire we get an extra day rest/prep?

Both matches should be good this week, lots to play for and there's not a huge difference between the sides.

Konrad on the bench for emergency impact? Maybe a 15 min stint in the middle as a swansong?

Hope he gets a final run-out in front of the crowd, abs I hope the crowd are kind to him if so. Never given less than 100%.

Re: RD 25 | Hull KR (H) : Wed Sep 15, 2021 12:40 pm  

I'd go with

Myler
L.Briscoe
Newman
T.Briscoe
Handley
Lui
Leeming
Holroyd
Johnson
Prior
Gannon
Martin
Smith

Subs

Hurrell
Dwyer
Thompson
Donaldson

I think Agar will probably start Dwyer but I'd use Dwyer as imapact al ong with Hurrell who probably isn't fully fit but this could be his last game for us and he will provide a lift coming off the bench when we need it.

Only way we play Warrington is we lose and Castleford lose.

For once we have to get our tactics right against the Rovers . Whoever plays in the second row has one main job- stop Jordan Abdul .
His kicking game is at least 80% of their attack . Stop him - we win .
Question is - can our coach get the plan carried out ??

Adbull is a key man but slowing the ruck down is equally as vital. KR seem to like their 9s jumping out and everybody else following them. Parcell and Litten seem to run even more than our 9s. We must control the ruck Fri night. If not game could get too quick for us.

Our pack has to perform much better than last week and the previous week at Magic actually.
