Probably the opponents we would have wanted.

Same for us really, both sides will fancy their chances, you're probably favourites at this stage.
The next few weeks at my local greengrocers / deli will be fun!

It's the draw that both sides wanted & should be a really good, hard fought game. Can't wait!

Agreed, should be a Cracker!

So hopefully we came through Wakefield unscathed. Will have to watch the lottery, sorry MRP, this week to see if we lose anyone to suspension. Hopefully Jerry will be over the flu, Hill and tui back for this. If all the rest are available then I expect
Tui
Jerry
Wardle
Leutele
Senior
Russell
Fages
Hill
Levi
Greenwood
Jones
McQueen
Yates
English, trout, Wilson Goulding
Unless Seb is back in which case Seb on the bench.
That’s a very strong squad if we can get it!
We WILL have to improve.

Worked out well for us, we are improving and have virtually full strength side available, and Hull KR were nilled by Leeds. Hull KR are a flair side, we will struggle if they post points early because our game is all about the grind and taking chances. We do need Tui and Pryce to have an X factor in attack because although we are good at what we do, we are very predictable, and score 90% from kicks and short crash balls. This really will be a clash of styles, we will win if they chance their arm and fail, and they will win if their off the cuff stuff sticks.

Matty English suspended. Vete suspended for KR.

Gutted for matty- absolutely gutted.
If Seb is not available then likely Bruno will take up that bench spot.

If the game develops into a hard grind forwards battle, Hull KR will miss Vete far more than Huddersfield will miss English.

I’m not so sure they will. The KR fans seem to think he has been a bit of a poor quota signing

Hard one to predict this Rovers are more adventurous and if get going will be hard to contain, we are more functional with occasional flair thrown in - need to get our early season form back for this.

We should have our first choice spine back for this though.
Having Tui, fages, Russell, and Levi as our spine all together will make a big difference I think.
Some solid work horse players such as Yates, hill and Jones with the likes of McQueen and leutele who can do the hard work defensively but give some flair also going forward.
KR potentially have their two best players out (if the Coote stuff isn’t just kidology) and a host of others such as dagger, vete not available either.
IF our players can play 80% of their best game we can be in the final- the rest of rugby league will hate it.
