Records are there to be broken if the old cliché. You must be going into the game confident

Yeah i expect we will be high on.confidence. Id imagine you guys will be as well, to beat huddersfield 18-0. In the second half was a fantastic effort

I think based on 160 minutes performance we are playing by far the best - can't see it being that high scoring as we are very structured now under Powell.

At home I'd say it's fairly level but I just fancy us to nick it because of the players you have out

Poore
Waeyman
Gleeson
Hodgson
Caro
Langley (possible)
Horne (possible)


......I think this just swings the game in our favour slightly. But it's still tight to call, our games are always close

you could be right but it's difficult to compare performances 2 games in when you've played Bradford and Catalans at home and we've played leeds and Huddersfield arguably 2 of the strongest teams on paper this year, I guess we'll all find out on friday

yeah I'd have to agree - realistically at the start of the year you'd probably target this as your first win, so you'll defnitely be up for it.

It's really close isn't it - I think we will both mount challenges for top 8, and if we want to be taken seriously a win on Friday would do wonders for both of us.

We absolutely took Catalans apart and a repeat of that performance would be enough, though I'm sure you'd say the same of your second half v hudd's

I think Powell has been your best signing in years and it'll be close as you say hoping our pack will just edge it for us

You're bang on there - Powell is already a God-send. He's got the team playing right at their potental of late, the test is maintaining that level of performance

Catalans said same about their pack but we dominated - it depends which team turns up i think. There's absolutely nothing in it IMO

Looking fwd to seeing Steve Ganson again.
I really hope the dynamic video referees are in the north east corner of the CP too. Steve needs to know how much I value his contribution as a video referee ....

Oh look, he's been stood down from VR duties for this match .... he must be busy. Darn.

I think Cas win the front row battle on paper hands down!

Poore and Weyman missing are a big loss and Huby and Lynch are on fire!

KR have the better half back combination and a decent back row and Cas have the best player on the pitch in Daz Clark Should be a good game.

I think Adam Walker n James Green might have something to say about that

you're right there and I hope coxy carries on where he left off last week as well really running his weight (ignoring the 1 knock on!)

Absolutely agree with previous poster, Walker proved what he could do last season and will only get better. James Green and Jordan Cox are two outstanding home grown prospects imo and i expect big things from them in future, if they keep on progressing as they have done.
Previously, I would have been a little concerned at losing players like Weyman and Poor, but with the strength in depth such as the aforementioned players, I'm much more positive about the outcome on Friday, should be a good game and I'm very much looking forward to it.

it wouldn't surprise me if Cox was dropped for Horne, for some reason CS seems to see something in him that I sure dont.

should be a good game I think hull kr will need to be there best because on Sunday I witnessed the best Cas performance in 10 years completely out played Catalan and first time in years our pack bullied the Catalan pack which is very unusual. We look super fit and this promises to be a cracker of game could go either way.

ultimately, let's sum this up... We both have reasons to be confident

And finally, I reiterrate the topic of this thread!
