I can't see us getting hammered. Icon see us nicking it.

Backs against the wall mentality. Match them with effort first and foremost. Stranger things have happened.

But they haven't.

If anyone wants to pass this to Mr Toovey to read out as motivation for the team I'm sure it would help. Someone posted it on the HKR board:

"I'm sorry but anything other than a convincing 40+ point victory against that 17 would be classed as a disappointment in my view. Man for man we are far, far to good. I just hope we have that ruthlessness that we had last time we were in this league, beating teams by 80".

I understand the sentiment, and I hope they are employing an us against the world siege mentality, but unfortunately I suspect the above quote is all too true, if the hkr players click we're losing heavily.

I think most of us are expecting a close first half an hour or so as your lads give it a good go, I don't think too many rovers fans are thinking this will be an 80 point drubbing

Re: KR : Thu Feb 02, 2017 9:53 am  

I stated on our board that we are still quite a small (physically) side and in the championship that could be detrimental, I've watched our friendlies and we still look like a team getting to know each other. A lot of dropped ball and mistimed passes / man not where he should be. On the plus side we do look fitter and quicker than previous years.

I would be happy to just get a win on the board and all talk of 60+ is nonsense, your team will be up for this with a prove them all wrong attitude and that will certainly give you an edge to your play. The hard part for the bulls will come if they've gone a few without a win and inevitability has taken over both in the crowd and on the pitch.

I hope you go well, just not against us this week please.

The main things that should be looked at for the KR game are attitude and performance.

I think all but the most insane of Bradford fans expect a loss on Sunday but as long as we get a committed 80 minutes from the lads then I'll be happy

Jordan Lilley is a good signing especially if you can keep him longer than the first month.
