Rovers are a one man team - and hes injured (thats laughing at the lie thats he injured btw, not that hes actually injured)

To be fair though if i was Rovers id be putting all my eggs in one basket with the CC and keeping Kelly away from a bruising derby - They wont go down in the middle eights but a CC cup final appearance would be fantastic for the club

The game will be won and lost in the forwards on Friday.

Hull FC pack without big micky is still much stronger than rovers. If Albert Kelly is out then all FC have to do is bombard them down the middle and attack that line with speed at their end. With a weak pack and no half backs I really cannot see KR doing much. No forwards to build the platform for their backs and they might not have a half back paring for the game lol.

Hope i'm right..

Need to run at Kelly, he is injured and misse a lot of tackles, couple of hits from Ellis to put him off his game.

If he plays 50/50 game, if he doesn't we will be clear favourites.

I agree with other posters if he isn't fit I wouldn't risk him, big game coming up and they will need him for the middle 8's if they end up there.

Rovers have an 80% home win ratio and are 4/6 with the bookies, right? We are complete underdogs in this one.

kelly will play even if he's on one leg. What choice does chester have? He can't surrender a top 8 place to the arch rivals (albeit only once everyone reaches 20) so has to go for it. We really need to improve our kick chase which has been really poor at times recently. rovers back 3 give them a great platform when allowed to and they play with good intensity which we need to match. We need to hit kelly hard when we have the ball, both to take energy out of him and because he misses plenty of tackles. Winnable game but we need to be at our best and I still think rovers will probably take the points but we'll beat wigan next week anyway

We just need to play like we did at Newcastle against them, even with campese who is the best creative HB they've got, he was non existent because we didn't let him get in the game, Ellis tore him apart.

Our intensity won the game that day. Brilliant defensive line speed and great enthusiasm and technique when we have the ball. Easier said than done to replicate it IMO

I honestly think we'll batter rovers on Friday. We've got a sniff/taste for the 8 now, whichever word you want to use.

To get the result on Sunday we had to really dig deep and there was a lot of grit and determination to see and that was with numerous first team players out. Castleford are no pushover this season and was in great form!

Pretty much what you predicted at Easter. Then last week you said you were washing your hands of our piece of club. Jesus wept.

I agree, but the choice presumably otherwise is Blair and recalling Connor Robinson, who is a year older than Abdull and getting good reports from Halifax.

The feeling I'm getting from the Fax board is that Connor has signed for them permanently.

What bookies are you betting at Mrs B?

We are odds on, best priced at 4/5.
Rovers 5/4 against.

Oh, and we'll win, again.

It wasn't Easter.. It was the Magic Weekend.

+ I wasn't the only one venting my anger, we all say things when we're angry.

I'll give you +1 for your attention to detail.

You still throwing bottles of coke around the KC Dobbo?
