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.

Is the new north stand going to be for away fans when its finished then ?

Not at £3 a pint you wont

I reckon Rovers will line-up as follows:

Eden
George, Hall, Salter, D Hodg
Burns, Dobbo
Paea, J Hodg, Walker
Lovegrove, Paterson
Griffin

Bench: Green, Mika, Withers & Beauy

If Hall fails his fitness test then switch George to centre and bring in Omari.

The unlucky player is Keal but IMO he needs to bring the same tempo as Josh which I feel he still isn't doing consistently. Withers does and so he gets my vote.

I would have included Cox in the 19 and dropped Mika who, again IMO, just isn't doing enough. He ought to be scoring tries, making breaks and leading the right edge, but he seems to saunter along and for most of the time its as if he isn't on the pitch!

I'm expecting Rovers to turn up today and reckon it will be a pretty close encounter with Burns rounding off a MoTM performance with a last minute try to seal a one point victory (a reverse of last seasons scoreline). . .well, I live in hope!

Probably some of it, I'd have thought would be the plan. If we're not finished before it is.



Always a big challenge against Leeds, but our home record against them isn't too stinky I think.

I would imagine it will be the same as how they used to do it in the golf stand.
Rovers fans closest to the East stand and away fans closest to the West.
The stewards managed to police the golf stand without many problems

It's a fair point about Withers keeping a closer tempo to Hodgson than Carlile but Carlile has a really high tackle success rate and a low error rate so it's a tough call.

Regarding Cox, he's had a few decent games starting on the right edge before a second spell in the middle. He adds go-forward and physical presence but I think he can improve his marker defence and his attacking lines but that will come with time working on his game - his dummy-runs are not as accurate as Mika's which are key to execute attacking moves.

Comments about Mika are not fair on the kid and there seem to be some fans who act like sheep and say he's not doing well just because the next sheep on the terrace says so.

Regarding him "leading the right edge", you do know that he's played in the middle since the Cas game till he was moved out to the right edge for the second-half at Hudds during which time he scored a try???

Then last week against Saints Lovegrove was to play 80mins on the right edge but he had to move to left centre whilst Welham went off for his injection hence why Mika played all of 10mins there before moving into the middle when Welham came back.

So Mika plays some very good games at loose-forward; Cas, Hull, Wigan (the only player not to miss a tackle that day), Saints (league game) and Saints (cup game) yet he should be "leading our right edge" even though he not playing there??? - Ok...
