But something like it should happen it is and who dreamed it up wants sacking why winning the league is no big thing is stupid it should be great, and then have the play offs has a different comp IE top 6 to play it like the old days and put the challenge cup back to were it was in may

Have it on good authority from an ex player who played with his dad at Rovers in the 80's that Mortimer has been offered to us on a few occasions, and would of loved to have played for us, but for some strange reason it never happened.

Apparently Daniel Mortimer's Dad said playing at Hull KR in the 80's was 'The best 12 months of his life'

Think he was due to join us until we got relegated.

I heard that. So i wonder what makes him think that Leigh won't get relegated?

Probably, he only played in 4 grand finals with his two brothers before that. So why not.

Not the paradise that is East Hull though was it Mr Sheldon

No you're right, canterburys a hole.

Just seen the squad for Saturday. Last match when I heard Ellis and Marsh as the half backs I was not happy. If Sheens picks them again our chances of winning will in my opinion be reduced. They are ineffective. Please don't do it again Mr Sheens. I know the options are limited, but this option is a poor one.

Atkins and Ellis's game management saw Rovers over the line against Fax so they would be my starters. However, we know Sheens is prone to tinkering so it wouldn't surprise me if we don't see a new 6/7 combo starting against Leigh.

I wonder if Ellis/Lunt will pull off the same stunts they used to score from the scrum again in the CCup tie? To get away with it twice was remarkable.

Quote from Sheens on rovers website.

“The spine players, your 9, 7, 6 and 1, are really important and if you can have them playing together right throughout a series like this you are a much better side. At the moment, we’re limping a little bit with only two of those players available until we can get Adam Quinlan back and decide who will be Jamie’s partner in the halves"

Seems like Ellis name is already on the team sheet. Just a question of who he lines up with.

I think Saturday's game is almost 50-50, in the cup game your backs were much better than ours, and the forwards kind of 'matched each other'. Obviously you won't be happy with your recent form, but for me, we have a slight advantage because we are at home.....but that's it. Our defence (apart from the last 2 games) was awful in recent weeks. Really looking forward to this game, hopefully it's not '*issing it down'....see you lot at the Whistling Wren !

Just watched Wakey beat Leeds and they as a team were full of energy even at end of game. Ok leeds forwards put in a similar performance as 2nd half in cup but last week they ground Wigans pack into the ground. Wakey stunk against Giants yet this week looked unplayable.Anything could happen on Saturday but I'm hoping we show how good we can be? Don't know about other fans but I keep changing my mind on result one minute I'm expecting big loss next min I'm believing we can do it..A big game but each one gets bigger in this daft format

Skybet giving 10 start for us..I can see why after our last 3 games but looks big if Sheens is the coach many think he is?
