That's a pretty fair assessment of us, other than I think Taikarangi has underperformed.

We've had a weird season in that we needed forwards and the expensive ones we signed haven't really been any good, see our board for my thoughts on Sims and Vete.

We are the best of a bad bunch,we could do something but its highly doubtful, I'll be coming over more to say thanks to our players than in expectation of a victory.

For the gamblers amongst us

"Lump on Warrington"

I've not turned into Mystic Goldblatt or Nostradamus. I can't claim even to "feel it in my water". No. It's the BBC, actually. Check out their website for fixtures on Friday 1st October, if you don't believe me.

Get down to your local Betfred. [i It's passed the post[/i as the man himself once said

Parcell is out for Hull KR, big loss for them. Not as big as clark missing for us would be though.

It's because they've put their disciplinary bung money towards a 2 match ban for Cooper, so didn't want to leave themselves vulnerable.....

I’m trying to stay away from redv I’m in danger of assuming all Saints fans are as arrogant as some of the posters on there. Not good for blood pressure.

Unfortunately for us(KR) we will be seriously short on first choice players, which is a shame because I genuinely think with the first choices available(and fit) we could have given any team a real fright..However, it is what it is and we are glad to be here, and for us it's been far too long. This should be your game, but we live in hope as opposed to expectation for this one. Hope it's a good game and not a walkover. You should win and expect you to as you will probably have too much strike power for us.
Next year will be very telling, just hope we can build on this year. You lot know all about TS and what he brings, we're glad he,s with us. I am old school and seen success before and want it back, and still think we are two quality signings short to challenge the top four, but hey, we are happy so far.
Hope the score is close, strange things happen sometime.

We've had the likes of Dean Sampson, and others, that have come out of retirement to make the numbers up for our opponents, and have struggled against them. Rugby isn't played on paper, and a win has to earned with respect for possession, discipline and 1-17 putting a shift in.

Hope it's an enjoyable and open game.

No doubt KR can win this one, even with a few players out.

If we go in with the right mentality then it could be an easy-ish night for us.

But so often we haven't done and probably won't do again. I think it'll be close.

If Hull KR's off the cuff stuff comes off, it's almost impossible to defend against. The left hand side attack with Linnett, Kenny-Dowell and Hall would have given us problems; Hall is a big miss. Abdull can be great if his kicking game is on.

However, if our pack gets us on top and we get quick play the balls, then even without D Clark, the quality of Ratchford and the two Ws with an in form Currie and speed of Mamo (and possibly Ashton) would be more than enough.

Then again, we may have one of our nosebleeds and limp out again.

Can't see anything but a Warrington win here.
Oh wait, this is Warrington we are talking about.......

On paper and with the injuries HKR have - even with their offloading - there should only be one result.

Agree with this, we need to show Hull KR a lot of respect, they've earnt it this season.

We should win but losing on Friday would leave familiar feelings in light of our recent playoff history.

You’re lucky to have him mate, enjoy it. Our (wire) best ever coach for sure.
