Funny you should say this, the closer the game get's the more you think about it and the more nervous you get, i'd say it's natural. [size=59just to make you feel better[/size

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 EVERYTHING A REASON

Doesn't make me feel better in the slightest.

Falling empires are running (Wigan)

FACE EVERYBODY AND RULE (tony smith)



by the way its ruleing not running lol

Ha ha, my hearing isn't the best when it comes to song lyrics. Like that old Stone Roses song I wanna be a door.

i get nervos when we play the likes of wakefield and huddersfield away

You can't play the game with any element of fear in your play.

As another poster said, the nerves come only when you think you have a chance of winning. Earlier this season I had the most relaxed time as a Wire for a few years, as I couldn't see us beating anyone. Now that we 'appear' to have a good side again.....................

And for our MPs.......

I think any team can beat Saints this season ,SL is as open now as it ever has been any team can beat any team bar Celtic but even they pushed saints close and are not far away .
Personally I would rather wait to beat Saints when it will really hurt them a CC final or eliminator for the grand final or the grand final itself ,we need to prove our consistency first though but as I said earlier anyone can beat anyone finishing top of the table is nice but it's not everything .
Tony Smith imo is the missing link that we have been looking for but not found in years, now we have him it may take time and we will do better when he has a squad he can call his own ,but he can still do it this year never say never !

Good question really. I'm delighted to say that I go to games this season feeling no nerves and equally take nothing for granted. Expect the unexpected and all that.

One thing I can say with confidence is that the way Smith has got the players working hard for each other, then I'm sure we'll be okay this year.

haha love it

Forget Everything And Remember........

wonder if he will be at the final when we get there

I fancy a Wire win this weekend. I doubt it's a flase dawn. Theres some way to at you're club yet but TS did a great job at Leeds. He is a master and will go just as well for you lot.

Fantastic Expectations, Amazing Revelations.


Hull KR Away in the Quarter Final of the Challenge Cup is a game I don't expect to win.

I don't think anyone expects to win any game they hope they win hope and expectation are 2 different things and what we have at this time is hope imo !

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
