The one thing we should be under absolutely no illusions about is quite how seriously Rovers are taking this game. The emphasis on an all costs win is is unlike anything in recent years. This from their camp. With us missing 2 key back rowers and Houghton not match fit either it's easy to see how their turnaround advantage and quality three quarters could be exploited to do the required damage.

We should be winning this but I'm not sure we will. I expect smith to have a game plan which could very well win the game if we're not at our best. Our edge defence worries me

Said we'd beat Leeds and ill say the same again - we're gonna tonk Rovers but by a bigger score - KR are truly cack and we are not - FC by 20 but probably 30+

If we somehow suffer a defeat will you have another meltdown and threaten not to attend again all season?

Correct. And with their defence last week being hailed as their best in years points will be very hard to come by I fear.

In fairness we do have form for getting a big gate at the KCOM and being terrible. It's the mystery of not knowing what you might get - one of life's great delights.

Shall I do the countdown for you?
10, 9, 8, 7..............

Me too. Used to get the old VHS video tapes from my brothers mate who had a pen pal in Australia, (younger users Google it!).

Favorite team was Parramatta. Great players like Price, Kenny, Grothe. Sterling was my hero and when he signed for us I just couldn't believe! remember watching him making his debut along with Wally Lewis at Wakefield.

One of the greatest ever to wear the famous irregular hoops. Let's give him the reception he deserves.

An old mentor of mine once gave me the best advice I have ever received, he said:
“You can me many things in life...just don’t be predictable”.

I was in Leeds today and followed a Range Rover with a number plate of L3UNT or similar. Made me smile.

I know you post things like this for bites, but I don't actually disagree on this occasion. Leeds really didn't front up at all last week, I expect Rovers to give us a sterner test. We should have too much quality for them, but we still have to do the little things right and the commitment needs to be good. They had a good win last week and the Mose situation seems to have really brought everyone together. I expect a big effort from them.

All that said I expect to win. No matter how committed they are, they shouldn't be able to match us if we play well. There really is no comparison between the quality of the two squads. If we lose we have beaten ourselves.

The games where we should easily win are always the ones that make me most nervous.
Play like Sunday with another good completion rate and good discipline and we should win by 30+.

I'd never be bold enough to predict a 30+ win but nothing wrong with a little optimism.
I'll settle for the 2 points, however, and us taking on the current champions with a 100% win ratio.
