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!

Not confident at all.

Ditto

you should be! by the final whistle of our last games we were both playing some great rugby - if we pick up where we left off it'll be a belter!

I still say we ought to be slight favourites just cause of your injuries/suspensions.... But I wouldn't be shocked by any result either way tomorrow

Yeah I've just seen we have a start - i was expecting scratch or HKR+2 cause of the "unavailable's".

To nil Hudd's for 40 minutes is a good effort mate
