| I wouldn't be surprised to see:
Full Back - Mullaney
Stand-off - Gaskell
Scrum Half - Addy
Loose Forward - Pitts
I've seen enough of Jimmy's coaching to see that he's pretty stubborn and doesn't seem to like changing the team around.
Hope I'm wrong and Mullaney plays in the half backs though.

Ross in t&a reckoning that's way we'll line up too and he's usually pretty accurate.

My instinct would be to go with Mullany at SH but at this stage of the season and with his hamstring it's probably too much of a risk. I've dropped Henry because his defence is poor. Olbison's defence in the channel is not good enough but he does run it in very hard which will be of use off the bench. Caro and Clare are better than Williams. Ferguson has to show the form he had against HKR which he hasn't done for months. Mendieka is insurance against any injuries across the backine.

I think this team will be very close to the 17 we see tomorrow. Perhaps Olbison might start and Ryan on the bench.
It's important we have good defenders facing their centres, especially Yere.

| I doubt Lowes will leave out Williams as our top try scorer and a solid winger. Clare and Williams on wing i reckon.
I would have preferred one of the SL teams to sheffield. It looks like a perfect week to have Hull Kr. No kelly and semi final hangover. Look poor but doubt they'll play this badly for rest of super 8s.
Expecting a solid win tomorrow.

Or even the rest of the match. Complete role reversal. Leigh will be annoyed at letting that slip. Just didn't player well at all second half and discipline let them down.

| Far to much bickering from Leigh when they didn't get the decisions, quick PTB from kr keeps them on the front foot and seems to be the way to play, whereas when under the kosh kr look very ordinary

| Poor old Leigh. We told them what they would get if the made the mistake of signing Hock, and the pigeons have come home to roost. Single-handedly cost them the game. I was just amazed how he did't get the hook before he had the chance to concede that mad penalty under the sticks. And who knows how vital losing what was surely otherwise a heard-earned 2 points might eventually be?

| the concern about the Leigh game to me was that the KR players had that bit more experience when it mattered. Dixon looked solid when normally he looks like a problem in SL. Sio was head and shoulders above the Leigh backs.
Although Leigh finished above us I do believe we have a more experienced team of 17 that have more SL time. Our backs are better as individuals. Our problem has been that they have not played together long enough. Leigh's bully boy tack ticks let them down in the second half and Moi Moi is worse than Lauaki. Inexperience allowed KR back in to it.
My prediction is we will surprise the Leigh fans and finish above them in this play-offs - if the team plays to its potential from the kick off till the final whistle. I do believe we have a better team - as a whole apart from No 7. No I am not still hung over!

| Rovers are a team that couldn't buy an away win in SL and now they have beaten Bulls and Leigh away. They looked much less effective yesterday without their halfbacks ...I still have nightmares about Mantellato rising above our defence and that didn't happen yesterday. Beating any of the SL teams will be massive for us.

You look at the back line we had that game and it's amazing we even got within 20 of KR who also had Campese and Kelly on their side.
I agree with Woolly. You look at our line up and it's a super league side in everything but name. Just need everything to come together for us now. It all starts today!

| Thought Leigh played fairly well with ball in hand, to be fair, but with a SL referee insisting on quick ptbs they seemed to lose the energy battle and faded away in the second half as Rover got on top. They also lost their discipline again - where was Joe Cobb when they needed him?

Where indeed ?
You just know he will make an appearance when it really matters......probably when we go there.
