Both teams trying to get some consistency now throughout the season, but if we play anywhere near the level we did on Saturday (second half) we will be tough to beat.

Myler
Fusitua Newman MacDonald Olpherts
Austin Sezer
Holroyd O’Connor Tetevano
Martin McDonnell
Smith

Bentley Lisone Sangare Johnson

Walters / Donaldson / Oledzki / Hooley

Dependent on the fitness of Oledzki, but he could be in over Johnson.

Lets see if Newman gets cited in the disciplanary for use of head in the tackle.
I can see a ban coming

Given I’m sure he got a ban for dissent last year (?) I fear he could get a ban for gobbing off at the ref again…depending on what he actually said but must have been bad enough to get yellow carded….he needs to get that out of his game as he will fast become a target for the wind up merchants and get a reputation with the officials

Reckon Newman will get a ban, it was no where near as bad as Saints away last year but i reckon he’ll get one match.

If so

If oledski is fit give Sangare the weekend off

Yeh, great thing about having a fit pack is that you can rotate them round and give them a rest.
If Oledski is fit, we should give Tet or Holroyd a break.

Also having Johnson on the bench means O'Connor can do a stint in the back row if needed.

If Newman is banned, Martin goes to centre and Bentley into back row.

Johnson needs game time - Hull KR aren't a huge side. He looked very good on Saturday adds some quality.

Newman needs a serious talking to - it doesn't help when his father continues to defend the indefensible - no ref no game. The changing room doors will have had to be widened to get his head through that is all the accomodating we should do. Could easily have cost his team game with his arrogance.

Holdroyd was very good on Saturday and I think Walters deserves to be included.

Surprisingly just a grade A for Newman so no ban.

Bizarley Tom Davies just gets a grade A for his challenge on Myler!

Just going to say that

I wouldn't mind seeing Martin in the centres again this week.

He really didn't look out of place on Saturday and looked to work well with MacDonald on the wing.

Would also open a spot in the forwards if Oledzki is finally fit.

I’ve always thought Martin looks good at centre, I think Smitt thinks the same aswell

Id be looking to keep the lineup pretty similar as against Cats.

Always s tricky game against Hull KR but would be nice to play well and get a win, their fans were loving the pre season game, when we were frankly dreadful

I don't think Walters or CJ deserve dropping and resting Sangare atm if Oledski is fit makes sense.

Big team ,too. Hopefully more hard running and support play will get us on the right foot

leaving out the best strike back?

Using Walters off the bench as an impact, offloading wide runner could be very effective. He’s doing a great job as a prop and rarely gets dominated but could be better utilised a bit wider. Could become the new Lauititi or SBW….
I also like Martin at centre. Should try him there for a couple of weeks until Handley is back on the wing.

Who did I miss? Thought Newman was banned.
If not him to centre obvs

Yep and the benefit of Martin to centre is also that Tet can play wider and we have proper props playing prop.

Tet looks much better wider out in more of a roving role. Wasted down the middle where players like Holroyd are much more effective.

Holroyd has been great this year; so good to see as he’s had rotten luck with injuries.

We need to look after Mik he has been over-used for years.
