What's your aim here with all this trolling? What's the final goal in your eyes?

We get that you're a Hull Kingston Rovers fan and your team are playing well at the moment and our team are playing pathetically, we get it. I don't understand what you're trying to achieve? Just enjoy what your team are doing and let us worry about us. We don't need you to let us know the current state of play, we can all see it for ourselves.

We're not your rivals this season, We're relegation fodder. Wigan and Warrington are your rivals this season, go get your rocks off with their fans.

Anyway since Keith was kind enough to start the match thread (bit weird, but there you go)...

Hoy and Clifford back hopefully? If so they're my half backs with Litten deserving another run at full back. Savelio comes back in for me assuming he's fit and hopefully Michi back on the wing.

Keith is now finished, lost what little respect he had on here, I can sort of get coming on and posting every day, whilst Rovers are doing their best in SL history and we are pretty low (although still find it a bit sad and I don't remember many doing it in 16/17). But to create multiple accounts to come on here and post nothing but the same thing everyday is truly pathetic, each day having to log in and out and posting probably ten plus posts a day.

Just have to laugh at him now and his sad little life, maybe the mods will put him out of his misery.

As you say if Hoy & Clifford are back then they have to go straight in as our halfback pairing as Litten has a earned rightfully another game at FB. Hopefully Savelio is fit and comes back in the 17 in place of Lane as Griffin for me has been outperforming him. Brown again stays in the 17 and Evans remains out the 17.

Big question for me is what to do with Lovodua, leave him out altogether or have him at 9 with Dwyer? Just don't think Houghton can cut it anymore and certainly not for more than 15-20mins at a time. Is Cator an option as an interchange 9?

Taylor will no doubt come back in to the 17 if fit again

Litten
Swift
Sutcliffe
Carlos
Mitch though probably be McIntosh if Mitch isn't fit
Hoy
Clifford
Taylor
Dwyer
Satae
Savelio
Griffin
Fash

Brown
Sao
Cator
?

Bet Brown is dropped. Get the feeling Smith isn't that into him. Also his efforts for one of the Leeds tries was abysmal

I'd go with that, Litten has to stay at 1, I'd add Balmforth to the bench, but don't see that happening, if not I'd have Lovodua at hooker from the bench, might as well give him a chance there.

I'd have Cator at 13 too.

Mitch has to be winger if fit, if not play Scott there, can't go with Mcintosh, I thought he was poor last season, seems to got worst this year, just can't see what he offers, a bit like McNamara, not sure either are SL standard.

Big game, Hoy, Clifford, Savelio and Mitch back, gives us a slight chance to an inconsistent Hudds team, no chance the week after Nd going to Wakey on the back of 9 defeats I really wouldn't fancy us, too much pressure.

And maybe Smith is correct, this 'small but he's a Hull lad who tries hard' thing hasnt worked, see also Fash who is getting found out now.

Id bin Joe altogether hasnt shown a single thing for almost a year now. Balmforth is the future.

Id agree with the calls to move Hoy to the halves, gives him more ball in hand and he threw some good passes against Cas (during that 1st half that im starting to think was just a dream)

Only made 4 carries all game aswell. Not sure the situation when he was on the pitch. Maybe we didn't have much of the ball at that time? But even still, 4 carries is a poor effort and shows a lack of willingness to work.

As Beith BrightRed alluded to, Connor will rip us apart no matter what squad we put out. He was always great against poop opposition.

Yeah I agree, not saying he should have a right to be playing. I hope he sorts himself out, he's still a baby in prop terms. He got hooked against Leigh and has been in and out all season.

The only down side it it probably means Jane gets brought back in, unless Smith goes with Gardiner

Balmforth needs to play pretty soon for me. All we've heard since signing him is how good he has potentially to be. Think he's one of the OOC players so unless we give him a chance I can't see him wanting to stay past this year. Need to see what he's actually made of before we potentially lose him.
