Sounds like a plan to me !

HKR coach Tony Smith has targeted this game for a win for KR.
He rested Danny McGuire, Craig Hall and Mitch Garbutt for the Wigan game last Friday night so they will be refreshed and raring to go.
Just hope that McGuire has an off day when we play them, we'll stand a much better chance of picking up a vital win.

I fear McGuire will turn back the clock for this one and run rings round us. They seem to have been able to get up for more games than us recently, too. Then again, who hasn't?! Hull KR by plenty.

Think our best 17 needs to be...

Escare
Tupou
Atkins
Lynne
Jones-Bishop
Hampshire
Brough
Kopchak
Wood
Green
Tanginoa
Kirmond
King

Subs..
Fifita
Pauli
Tangata
England

Need a big pack that will dominate for the 80...Can't se what having Randall in the 17 gives us. Brough over Miller just.

Up the Trin.

One of our problems is that we are not an 80 minute team, in the north stand - on - Sunday, all spoke around me, WAKEY supporters I did not know, said we are a 50 - 60 minute team ? Other sides know this & it's a problem we have not addressed again, we face badly each season in spite of being 5 th - etc, etc !

Really don’t see what Brough brings at all let alone over Miller.

Escaret
BJB
Atkins

Tupou

England
Randell
Fifita
Kirmond
Tanginoa
King

My concern is that we will match or exceed them in most aspects of the game, but lose because they have the clever players who will create more than we will.

Having to miss this one due to holiday but will be listening on internet

Ryan has said he is targeting Wigan game if selected

Feel the same unfortunately. When we went down 6-20 at the weekend I was hoping to see the players step up like their lives depend on it, with some intent and aggression. Not much changed - too many players going through the motions.

Sadly the reality is we don`t stand a chance, yet again we looked absolutely clueless with ball in hand and again looked like 13 blokes thrown on a pitch that have never player together, no matter what players we have on the pitch you could surely at least look for some structure?

On the opposite side of the fence Hull KR look like a well drilled, coached team that played to the same game plan against Wigan whilst having 5 or 6 key players out, including there main man DM which by the way all of those players are back for this weekend - Amazing what a few weeks of top quality coaching can do for a team isn't it?

This has been the problem for me, even when we we're hiding behind the injuries excuse the lack of an attacking structure was the most worrying thing. Truly awful particularly when we get near the opponents line and showing no sign of improving.

Unfortunately looks like we will need to restrict HKR to 2 maybe 3 tries if if we're lucky if we are going to have a chance of winning. Praying we can go there, complete our sets, take two when on offer and grind a result out. Here's hoping.

Robert Hicks in charge, could have been a lot worse.

A bit before my time but I think John Harbin did the full season in 2001, beating Salford in the last game to stay up. Then he was promptly sacked.

Yes I was at the Salford game and as I remember Shudds were playing London at same time. It was us or shudds for the drop that day.


Used to see Harbin knocking about Wakey long after he left the club , but not seen him for the last few years. If you saw him today and asked about our situation, he would probably say he didn't have a view, but his dad thinks we need a better coach.
