HKR were shamefully awful yesterday, aided and abetted in large part by repeated errors from Dixon, who the commentators still insist on bigging up as if he's a superstar - which he patently isn't.

That said, they were playing against a Leeds side who have been comfortably the best team in SL this year - by some margin; we aren't that - we're WTW who last week, managed to scrape a win against Leigh by 1 measly point. Next week will still be a big ask - and if anything, they'll be fired up and looking to exorcise some demons.

And for those reasons we are likely to be getting a healthy start on the handicap

Read on the KR forum that Kelly is done for the season. If true it will certainly be a bonus for Trinity.

The problem is we could catch a wounded team that fight back.
Chisholm and the young kid can play a bit so they are not playing without halfbacks.

I also feel like Dixon is actually a danger man.
He dropped a lot at the weekend but he actually looked like their most likely threat with the ball. We can't just kick to him and hope he'll drop the ball. If he doesn't he'll fly past our backs before we have even set off to chase the kick.

You can also see Cockayne coming back in and having a blinder against us.
We need to play a controlled game again and work their forwards over.
It won't be easy. But I think we can win.

Leeds v Rovers turned out to be a poor game for us. Rovers got hammered which will fire them up but hardly broke sweat. Leeds beat them with quick passing and finding gaps. Very few collisions or batterings for the Rovers lads. Almost like a training game of tag rugby.

Forget Wembley ,Leeds can do that to anyone when they are in the mood. Hull Kr have some very good players and their squad is far superior to Leigh's.
If things go our way we may sneak a win but I doubt it. If I was doing the handicap it would be us with at least 12 start.

Yeah but we have play like Leeds did, turn the ball over in the right areas, good kicking game and move the ball about! Ok we don't play as well as Leeds but we can play good enough if we want to!

Yes we can .............. but only for 10 minutes at a time! It's the rest of the game that's the worry.

Judging by some players reactions from Saturday I think you may be up against an angry beast.

To be fair, I would expect nothing less, but that doesn't always work to your advantage. Try to push too hard and the mistakes come far more easily.

Personally I think it will be a close win for you guys but I'm hoping to be wrong!

Is Scruton fit to play for KR game as it said he got a cracked rib and suggested other injuries to possibly other players.

Maybe a game to rest Scruton even if fit and bring in Anthony Walker on bench with Simon to 8 and Washbrook to 13?

We were awful at Wembley but Rover's have 3 home including you and Sheffield away, we will win all 4.
The players owe it to the fans our last game is home to Salford which could have a massive bearing on the final outcome.

I can't help but think we will get dicked. Widnes at home could be a more likely possibility. But then anything is possible at Wakey

We need to win 1 out of the HKR & Widnes games for a chance of top 3 and avoiding million pound game, we can do it and just think we should have won the Salford match we'd be in a super position. HKR match will be our hardest game but you never know just go at them.

It will be interesting to see what team we put out, will we gamble on Locke and possibly Johnstone ? .
Either way I would expect Rovers to come out like a house on fire to prove a point following the Wembley showing, but if we can weather that storm I think they could tire at the back end of the game. Wembley took a lot out of them emotionally and also physically, remember for the majority of the game they were trying to defend and therefore working much harder (physically) than Leeds .
Hopefully we can hang in there long enough and catch them out in the second half.

If not then the Widnes at home game becomes massive.
