Matt Peet has made two changes to his 21-player squad as injured duo Kai Pearce-Paul and Ethan Havard drop out of the squad in place of Tom Forber and Harvey Makin.

Hill for Havard would be the only change you’d imagine. There are no excuses for us with injuries. HKR are short of Coote, Abdull and Milnes in the backs and Kennedy and King have dropped out in the front row, so it’s all pretty even on that score.

We need to stop that run of league defeats and I’m confident we can.

Playing incredibly well are Hull KR, already beaten us once and currently on a good run. Will do well to win there.

Hull KR are on a good run and full credit to Willie Peters and his staff but with them having a few notable absentees it gives me some hope we can reverse the result from Round One.

That being said, usually one of Litten or Parcell has a worldie against us and we must contain them.

Should be a great game.

Even more important than usual to control the ruck against HKR.

Looking forward to seeing Hill again

I'd rest Powell, start with O'Neil and have Cust on the bench. Cust has to get back to match fitness and the only way of doing that is by playing him.

French,
Miski, King, Wardle, Marshall,
Hampshire, Smith,
Ellis, O'Neil, Byrne,
Farrell, Smithies,
Shorrocks.

Mago, Hill, Nsemba, Cust.

Is that not what the reserves are for?

Send him out on loan then. He might have the #6 on his back, but he's no way the finished product there, or an absolute key cog in what we do. I'm not sure that, with his defence (or lack of it), he's miles ahead of Hampshire. He's certainly behind Field, who's only played about 10 games there.

This has been one of the most frustrating performances. We look ok with the ball and defending well. But our error count is horrendous. Dropped balls, ball steals, penalties in possession, kicks out on the full.

Yea also who was dummy at that play the ball for Smithies. I did think we’d get walked over so glad we’ve had some great defence. Smith needs to settle down a little

What a try saver by Junior

Hull have been the better side but not by much. We’ve been clinical in taking our chances with some good play down the left edge.

Cut out the errors and penalties and we’ll be ok, if we don’t it will be KR’s game.

Don't know why we are bothering - according to the Sky muppets just before the game started (and during to be fair) we are playing a team of supermen who only had to walk out onto the pitch to win - we are not worthy of being on the same pitch (especially Tez but the commentator seems to have a bee in his bonnet abut Wigan as well).

That Ryan Hall try was dubious one - looked to me like he didn't have full control in the grounding much like the second effort.


We need to improve our discipline, complete our sets and get a better kicking game- pin them back and we have a chance. Their right side defense looks very weak.

That was never a penalty though, it was kicked which was fine, ref just penalised because it looked sloppy.

I have also said it a million times along with loads on here but Halls try and no try I didn’t think there was any difference, both a little dodgy but I’d have probably given both on the screen, maybe even the second one was more a try for me, why do they give the refs call so much weight? He obviously isn’t sure so is throwing it upstairs.

Is it still downward pressure needed? It could have gone either way and was dependant on what it went up as. He looked to place it on the line but could have easily lost it
