Seconded. Which booky has given a 20 point start?

I see this being a close game. I thought Rovers were good against Saints (I thought Saints were very poor, but Rovers can only beat what's in front of them and were the better side before the red card). I was impressed with Dobson (often am), but also with Patterson and Paea in the pack (not watched them much before). I was also once again impressed by Craig Hall. I don't see KR play too often, but every time I do he looks to have some real class about him. Are there weaknesses I'm not seeing in his games, as he doesn't seem to get a lot of hype?

I give up

His defence can be suspect at times and he is prone to brainfarts. With ball in hand hes dangerous, but his versatility means he cannot settle in one position and produce the goods week in week out. Will do a job in many positions but probably never truly excel at any in particular.

Hall has divided opinion among Rovers fans but there are 2 'issues' to take into account;

1. Former coach Morgan didn't seem to rate him, he hardly ever picked him and there are still some Rovers fans who worship Morgan. Morgan kept leaving him out on the grounds that he could only play centre and we were well off in that position. Many of the Morgan groupies bought into that now discredited theory.

2. Hall is a player who was released by Hull FC so for some Rovers fans he can never be good enough for us.

But for me Craig Hall is a very talented player who has been absolutely invaluable to Rovers covering here there and everywhere always capably and especially at No. 6 during the long absences of Blake Green & Travis Burns.

Without him these last 18 months playing anywhere in the back division we would have been much the poorer in fact we would have been deep in the proverbial.

People talk about his so called 'brain farts' but actually that's way in the past. Error free, no definitely not but that's not the same thing at all.

Greg Eden has totally redefined the meaning of 'brain fart' for me. He's taken the phrase to a whole new level, one that Hall never dreamed of........but like Hall a blinding talent. Actually, Eden is blinding talent and then some.

Eden will IMO go on to mature and become a massive and hugely significant player in Super League, Hall will fall short of that.

But Hall has settled down to being an accomplished player of the creative kind, a quality player, try scorer, good kicker of the ball, can win a game for you. One on one he picks opposition players up and dumps them uncerimoniously on their back, excellent tackling technique.

Real good player.

I agree with every word you say

william hill give rovers an 8 point start.

I think we have a good chance tomorrow, we usually do ok against Leeds at home so i am going to go for a HKR win. Also will be my first game of the season which i have been looking forward to for a while. Come on Rovers!

Where is the designated away area?

Please don't say the South Terrace?

All i'll say then is next season it will be the new North stand, but at the moment it's the usual place for away fans.

It's not this one yet



The South stand is the designated stand for the away support.
But it is possible to stand in the East stand, The Well area of the West stand or
the West stand seats. You can pay at the turnstiles.

Stand in the east. You'll get a free beer shower and a drunken fight to boot

I think you are mistaking us with the type of fans who spit at their own cheer leaders or regularly brick away supporters coaches. I won't even go into the Huddersfield incident.

No, I'm definitely not

Yes, You definitely are

Have you gained this knowledge from experience? I've seen Bradford, Saints, Leeds and many other fans in the stand, and the day passing with no more than friendly banter, i also recall some brave soul in a hull shirt walking down the full length of the east stand and receiving no more than friendly boos, as you would expect.

PS, you don't have to be an away fan to get a lager shower.
