At Rovers Sandercock has inherited a big pack that lacks an engine, we don't have any 80 minute forwards, (maybe galea, but I can't see him playing) so the coach is having to interchange them all, which IMHO gives Hull a massive advantage, not only over Rovers but most other teams too.

Not all this "you'll win" "no you will" rubbish.

It's forecast rain for Friday which will cut down on expansive play and I think that the game will be won through the middle.

Of course you will miss them, I'm just saying that having 4 forwards (Manu, Tickle, Houghton and Lynch) who will play the full 80 is a massive help.

I think one or two Rovers fans are slightly concerned that we'll still beat them with half our team missing, so they're getting the excuses in early.

I'm still hopeful of a Rovers win by the way.

While having forwards who can do long minutes is indeed an advantage, we're lacking size and impact. I would think that more than compensates TBH.

Lynch, Manu and Tickle lacking impact? Lol

We are lacking players off the bench who can come on and make an impact.

We have players there who won't let us down but will they give us a lift when we need it.

met office recockon we'll have light rain on friday from around 4pm so we should be ok

Really. Hull KR have gone out against most if not all teams with a decent gameplan and good tactics. Our structures look so much better then last year and we've being in ever game with a shout at winning. The problem we have is our players are missing an amazing amount of one on ones and seemingly not being able to last the full 80.

Don't take our league position as an indicator of us having a bad coach. He may whinge and he may moan after every match but we've seen enough to know he can coach a rugby team.

Do you think, it's just like you lot could see from the outside Agar wasn't up to the job. Well have a good think about it. He wasn't even upto being a number 2 at Newcastle. Keep him in the job we think he is great

I don't think Rovers are as bad as people think. They were unlucky to only draw with Saints, they beat Hudds, went close at Leeds and Cats, gave Wire a game away from home until the last 5 minutes. Will be very surprised if they don't make the 8. They have had a tougher start than us and until this weekend have had more injuries.

Still with both sides at full strength I think we are the better side.

I think Dobbins will be closer to us at then end of the season than most think, once they get Green back working with Dobson they will start to get results on a more consistent basis.

Can't argue with any of that.
