| KR won't be an easy game at all, take them lightly they'll turn us over.

The "Blackball Bullet " was a great coach. Signed a 10 year contract with you back in the 50's and you had a decent decade alongside Hull FC who also thrived in that decade coached by one of your ex players.

| I think we should be on red alert for this one. TS knows that they won’t ordinarily win an upfront “play off style” arm wrestle so will be getting the trick book out.
I think Price will stay true to Plan A and try and grind them down, but momentum can be a funny thing. If they get to a good start they can rattle up some points quickly, it’s about how well we can address that and reverse the momentum.
I’m a card carrying member of the Tony Smith fan club, and ordinarily would look forward to watching HKR as they play some really good rugby times, but this week scares me a bit.

| I think one thing we can probably count on is a relatively open game with some good rugby as TS doesn't promote dubious tactics and foul play. May be a high scoring game this one.

It might well be, but I think it would make sense to treat it as a dry run for the semi and play our rusty defensive game. That might appear a bit boring but if we get through methinks we will need to complete 90% of our sets and leave no defensive gaps to get to the final.

I agree, it doesn't have to be defensive but priority one should be working them over in the middle of the field (where we should have a clear advantage) and winning the energy battle. If we get into a game of short kick offs and chip-overs we are very much in their territory and could come unstuck.

| Its a shame but i think the scale of our injuries will just be to big for us to front up. Quinlan, Ryan, Hall, Minikin, Mincella, Lawler, Hadley, Maher, Vete and Parcell would all have started had they been fit, a team with a squad like yours would struggle with that number out, we just dont have the depth to cope, hence the result at Leeds. Smith will have to go full blown plan B off the cuff to stand a chance and the downside of that is we could easily see a big score posted against us. I hope not but if we get out of this losing by less than 20 I'd be relatively happy.

Chicanery is fine CH, expect skulduggery should we get to the semi final.

| It would be great to see a reminder from HKR of how the Wire used to play under Smith.

It would be better for us to stomp them into the ground over 80 minutes

30596_1286642206.jpg If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Probably the likely outcome, we can't really complain, we chose to go with a skinny squad.
What i like is that this thread is full of both sets of fans discussing the game in a respectful knowledgeable manner, which is refreshing and should be applauded!

If we get through I’m hoping their arrogance is their downfall (again). Interesting that last week Dodd was the saviour but this week he is useless…

That is a really bad injury list, I think Abdull is a big part of your good form this season, I think he's been really good everytime I've seen him play this season.
You will ask a lot of questions of us, I expect us to win but I think you'll play really gutsy rugby and won't be afraid to throw everything you've got at it. An upset is definitely on the cards with some of the displays you have put in this year.
I hope all your fans at the ground and at home enjoy the game and occasion its been too long between drinks for Hull KR for sure and hopefully this can be the start of something for you. I'd love to see Tony win the challenge cup with you, not at our expense mind you. Same goes for this Friday, I hope we enjoy it a bit more than you come full time.

I think most clubs have had skinny squads and no club can really afford to lose half a dozen first team players. HKR have done very very well this year.
I am thinking that Wire really ought to be too strong ... but I have been wrong before and thought we would get stuffed at Cas.
