I know what people are saying about not fearing any team (Apart from the obvious). I have a belief in TS that I have never had in any coach before going back to the mid eighties. I am a real cynic and for me to buy into this new regime takes some doing. Imagine what impact he is having on the players. I know one swallow doesn't make a summer and all that but he could make some real dubious signings and I would not argue against it.

The fella is a mind trick playing Jedi. I wonder if he waves his hand during his pre game speaches in a "these aren't the droids your looking for" kinda way.

Having said all that we still have the ability to throw games away.

For example:
Wigan at home is a game I expected to win.
Cas at home is one I didn't expect to win.

Easy to say now, I know, but that's the way I felt going into those matches.
Today's game is a bit tricky considering the whole feel around the place since Smith's arrival and the standards that have been set, particularly in defence. But, the momentum that Hull KR have around them is too considerable to overlook. The fact that it is CP, too, doesn't fill me with confidence.

Its HKR in decent form that I fear, not Craven Park. Some of the players recently stated that they feel less pressure playing away from home and this can help with the performance. Playing at the HJ sometimes, I feel that the speccies add to the pressure. When moves fall down or a ball is dropped, the intensity increases a notch. The players feel it and things get a touch 'nervy' Several things going wrong and it can get like watching a group of players who have never played together.

Anyway, back to todays game. A 1 point nail biter made even more tense by 3 dropped balls in our own '30', a scrum against the feed (Wire feed), and 2 HKR missed drop goals, all in the last 7 minutes.........

And a dubious try gets dissalowed for KR in the final second, Dobson clearly grounding the ball but Bentham, being from Warrington, says he dropped it, no video ref needed...

Oh aye, I just know this game [iso[/i well.

In Tony we trust
