No Lunt

Good opportunity for leeming.

Will Leeming play with Wood and Fuey both available?

no lunt is a big blow, we are a different team when he is on the pitch, abit like brough... seems his ankle is still causing him problems, hope the get this sorted as dont want to be missing him come the business end of the season. He had two ops on it pre season and seen him hobbling in pain in the pre season game and at wigan



luckily we have a good replacement in david faiumu, a former international hooker in his own right.

i see the team being on sunday...

there's something missing from this thread....

hull kr fans... where are they all??

That would be NBs line up!

Is that better? Unfortunately I can't fulfil the stereotypical role of boasting about how we will thump you, outnumber you and outsing you. I just want you to go easy on us and please ask Leroy not to humiliate Welham too much.

Here's to a decent game fellas.

It's quiet on here considering it's our first home game of the season! Can't wait for this. Hope the week off hasn't been detrimental.
KR have a big front row pack and we need to make sure we muscle-up up front. Our second rows are more than a match having pace too. Our backs are better so we should take advantage out wide and put pressure on Eden defensively.

KR will probably think the same about Grix but he looked a different beast v Wigan and if he carries on playing that well this season I think moving Eden on will look inspired which I don't think many (including me) would have thought this time last year.

Maybe Eden has kicked on too and I guess tomorrow will show where he is at.

If all goes to form you will see a moment of brilliance followed by a terrible mistake from Eden it's what I've come to expect

No change there then, I loved watching him play but you just knew a cock up was around the corner.

sounds familiar!
i would expect us to win tomorrow, but you never know, bradford turned us over easily early last season, albeit we struggled without broughy. i think it will be pretty even in the forwards but feel we have to much class in the halves and threequarters.

no, faiumu at hooker and robbo at stand off

just listed the 13 that will start the game not necessarily the position they will play.

its because there is nothing to moan about jools, all going well at the Giants so the fickle fans dont come out to play

Eden was anonymous in the friendly- I didn't realise he'd played until I saw his name in the match review!

I'd like to see Leeming given the nod before Fuey.

I think it's a perfect opportunity to play him.

Broughton to miss out also.

Looking forward to the game. Hopefully carry the good atmosphere created at Wigan into tomorrows game.

I expect us to win by 20+

Hoping leeming will get an opportunity. I'm intrigued to see how he will get on at senior level, as he gets glowing praise at academy / junior level.

Hooker is the one position I'm a bit concerned about, as wood doesn't seem the answer to me, and I think faiumu is much better suited in the second row / loose. In Anderson we trust though.

Wood did ok against Wigan....

Gosh doesn't take long does it ??

I just hope the 'you ain't a supporter if you ain't in the singing section' doesn't get going again' this year !!!

We have a fine Rugby League team according to the pundits my wish for 2014 is that everyone can support them in their own way and a few more turn up to do so starting today !!!

I thought Kyle Wood looked to have moved forward against Wigan I wasn't totally convinced with him last season against the stronger teams but he looked the part when he came on at the DW.

It's a good test without Sean Lunt today but with Robbo, Brough Wood and either Faiumu or Leeming plus Baily it shouldn't cause us a problem many sides would swap us !!!

No games are easy but with our squad one man shouldn't make to much of a difference and I expect us to win.

Butterflies in the tummy, looking forward t the first home league game of the season, COYG

Buzzing. Just on way to pick up nephew, and on the road for 11. Can't wait. Park up, cheeky ale, bite to eat, and watch the mighty giants. Revised prediction of giants by 8 to giants by 20 and my uncertainty about wood to be converted into undoubted faith after he receives MOM
