Schoey has obviously not looked at the Hull KR 1 - 17 : Adam Quinlan, Thomas Minns, Andrew Heffernan, Ryan Shaw, Danny McGuire, Nick Scruton, Shaun Lunt, Mose Masoe, Maurice Blair, James Greenwood, Ben Kavanagh, Lee Jewitt, James Donaldson, Danny Addy, Chris Clarkson . Add Carney to that and that is not a team to take lightly.

Quinlan is quick and a proven quality fullback, Minns is decent, Hefferman is a youngster who is highly rated, Shaw is a good finisher, Scruton is Solid, Lunt is a very good player, Masoe is huge, Geenwood , Jewitt and Donaldson are grafters who all defend well. I think Addy is injured for the season, Clarkson is a quality player. McGuire was good enough 5 months ago to carry Leeds through to win the GF.

Plus they have a world class head coach, a fanatic and large home crowd, definitely a game of scratch, dont think Schoey would be able to balance his book if he want offering Hull KR at plus 20.

Hull KR are certainly not a team to be taken lightly. First game back after promotion in front of a big home crowd i cant see anything but a tough game, especially if they get a roll on early doors and score a few points.

i think the bookies are nearer the mark with +4 than Schoeys +20

but i agree with him regarding players. I cannot see anyone else in that team who would displace a player in ours (just an opinion of course)

Oh give over Belly you can't have it both ways.

I don't take HKR lightly and they have a smattering of decent players but Schoey is right and you're wrong. Two or three at best would get in our team based on last years form and what other form can you base it on? HKR weren't even in SL.

You're far more right about the Coach and the crowd, they are much more of an issue, but then they were with a lot of teams we played last year AND WE GOT BY.

So long as our boys don't believe the hype and play with that mongrel spirit we might JUST pull off a win, but not by 20 points!

I would add Lunt to the list who'd easily get in our squad.

Why who would replace, he's no better than Wood and from what we have seen he's no better than Randall - do we need three hookers?

Can't imagine a year in the Championship has sharpened him up any either.

I wouldn't swap any of theirs for ours, but 'm in my mid 30's, i think i've expected to win 3-8 of our top flight games and we lost them all.

i expect us to win this one, sorry.

I would take Lunt over Wood every time. Just IMHO.

close one that for me, and there are a few close ones. so it may be bias more than a future s a talent scout.

Agree to a certain extent. I'd have definitely said Lunt at one time, especially before Randall came and he's still a very good player but Wood was excellent last year and although he only played a few games before getting injured Randall looks an absolute cracking Hooker.

Masoe is big but has no fitness and is a 10-minute spell Prop. On McGuire, although he was excellent in the final especially and rolled back the years, I thought when watching him last season at times, it was going to be his last but he's obviously still got class.

Obviously the first game of the season at their place, after them getting promoted, a partisan crowd etc, they're definitely not to be taken lightly and I wouldn't think CC will let the team do that. But man for man, although you could argue if you wanted about a couple of players, we have a far better team and squad. Bigger more skilled forwards and quicker better backs imo. I think as long as we start well and can get on top early and quite the crowd down, we'll do the business, if we start slow, who knows.

He'll have to be a magician as well as a world class coach if he's only playing with 16 players every week, that's maybe why Schoey has given them 20 start.

If we were looking for hooker and were not I would sign young Cunningham from London broncos

It's all about opinions I personally would have our centres rather than yours as well as our halves and Lunt probably a couple of forwards also but saying all that I still think you might just have a bit much for us
