No, Mat's right, it is 3, sorry.

Anyway, I think it's a bit more important than FA does, that's all.

I don't agree with this 40 point win for us either, I think it will be a tough game. I'd sooner it was a home game too as were not the best travellers.

I don't think we have enough depth to be able to rest players for this clash either. I'm expecting a really tough clash to be honest with you Bulls.

After watching HKR last night, at our place or not, I don't think it's going to be a walk in the park by any means. They have a fair bit of quality in their side and the pace to strike from anywhere. They had a bit of luck with a guy who should have seen red in the first couple of minutes but then made Saints look pretty ordinary and only conceding two tries, from blatantly forward passes, made the scores look decent for Saints, at the end.

If we can match them we'll be doing OK.

Well given the respective positions of both clubs you would have to see Hull KR as favourites without doubt. We will certainly have to cut back on errors and avoid some of the over playing we have seen in our attack at times this season.

Slightly concerned to hear that Sidlow is being linked to Hull KR, we need to keep the squad together to stand a realistic chance of promotion. And Sidlow has been our form Prop so it's perhaps not surprising that his name is being linked with SL clubs.

I agree that whilst not surprising ( and a compliment to our club as well as the player) , Sidlow being linked to Rovers is a concern .
As far as the cup , we are definite outsiders. There are many commentators who believe Hull KR are much improved from last year. I think by the end of the season that Campese and Kelly will be seen as 2 of the best imports . It will be fascinating to see how Gaskell compares in this game.
We will certainly need to win the forward battle to have any chance . And winning that contest is a possibility.

I thought all aspects of Rovers game looked good tonight. They will present an enormous test in the Cup. I'm beginning to think that a good performance in a loss will be a consolation. I don't see them being anywhere near bottom 4 unless they get struck down by plague or a massive injury crisis.

Re: Challenge Cup: Hull KR (H) : Thu Apr 02, 2015 9:33 pm  

I thought Hull played against Hull KR tonight like we have so far this season using brawn against brains ie no scrum half leading us around the field. We need to sort it out and either get Seika more influential or come up with something as an alternative or we will lose heavily.
On a positive note how lucky were we to miss out on Leon Pryce?
