This is going to be the toughest test yet. KR have started well although been fortunate with some decisions in the past two matches (Red and Yellow Cards for the opposition). If we can get a big crowd in and get behind the boys then for me this is a winnable game. Having an actual winger playing will improve our attack hugely and Nofu comes with a proven pedigree. Hopefully Ollie P will be back in contention and Jack O will avoid a ban. The club need to go all out this week to make sure we get a decent crowd in after yesterdays win.

Was told yesterday Ollie P could be looking at 2 or 3 months out, hopefully that isn't the case and it's not as bad as first feared

Lovely scheduling on this one means it'll be a race against time for me.to get across from Moor Lane in time for kick off. Will prob have to leave footy 5 mins early and then park at the SCS (which I never do due to the cost and wait getting away after the game).
Think KR will fill the away end with their start to the season so we should top 5k. Derby day is Sunday so no excuse for Utd/City fans to not be there.
Really tough game this one and can see it being every bit as tight as Cas. Think 1 score either way might settle it so reckon it's gonna be another nerve-wracking afternoon!

This looks like the toughest test yet, they look an all round package this time out.

Can’t afford for oli to be out, seems to be a few injuries picked up in training rather then playing

KR will be nearer the top than bottom I honestly can't see a win coming,but would loved to be proved wrong.

Hull kr by ten we don’t make enough yardage and there forwards will make yardage for fun which will then be penalties galore!partington out for a good while now alongside mellor and Ethan Ryan few weeks yet we’re down pretty much to yesterdays 17 I’m afraid unless sidlow is fit!I think the pre season of bottom 3 is justified because yesterday we only beat a very poor castleford by 4 and another 5minutes it could have been a loss!

But it wasn't. I agree we will find it tough this year, but there's enough spark and class in the side to surprise. Two games in, one win and a loss that we could have won. Not too bad. While we will struggle against some of the top sides we need to be realistic with our expectations this year and just enjoy it. |

I don’t think KR are all that, they got all the decisions v Hull plus played 12 men and Leeds lost two players to the sin bin. We’ve played two games and had 4 x sin bins, if our discipline improves, we stop shooting out of defence we can give them a game. Hiku doesn’t look fit and Evalds is playing out of position. Lewis is a real threat but they aren’t Wigan. I think we can score points against them especially if Nofa debuts. We moved the ball about well yesterday.

We can definitely beat them but we need to be a lot better than yesterday. Are edge defence is poor but maybe nofa can help with that being a out and out winger the main thing is discipline we got dragged into a game we should of been way ahead in |

If we turn up, we have a shot, as we would against most teams.
But, Hull KR are more than capable of giving is a hiding if we don't smarten up. Poor discipline has carried over from last year and it's probably worse over these last two weeks out poor edge defence has also carried over. We were also poor at home last year and we weren't great against an average Cas side. We were decent in the first 20 mins and got a lot of repeat sets, but only scored 12 points. Cas scored two tries after that but a better team would have had 4/5 with the amount of field position we have up and the overly aggressive edge defence. Nene coming up trumps before HT was huge. Second half, we didn't show much and did our best to lose it. There aren't many teams we'd have beaten with that performance. I don't see us scoring a Lot of points and can't see us winning if we don't keep KR below 20 and I'm not sure we'll score 20. Please make me look like a prick Salford.
I just don't know which Salford turns up. Salford at the races we have a shot. But, over the last 12 months we've had awful discipline, poor edge defence, and poor home from... It isn't shaping up well.

It isn't shaping up well. BDD I agree with your assessment last term but this year with a new team we've played two games. We certainly gave away two tries by our wingers rushing out of the line, this is Deon Cross biggest challenge to be more disciplined in defence, also our discipline was questionable but that can be said of lots of teams this year. The pluses for me and why I take belief into the KR game are that our forwards made yards, Singo, Jack O, King and Wright in particular, Stone and Watkins looked sharp and Shorrocks distribution adds another dimension to the play. Cust will get better with each game with runners closer to him. If we can continue to kick well and build pressure then we have every chance, our backline with actual wingers starting is very strong. We will then have Mellor to come in who adds to our options at 9 plus Ollie Partington. |

Well I'm going for a Salford win, why? Because we will have two wingers and enough in the middles to get us over the line. Our back row is superb and we need to get the slightly subdued lafai firing again and we can be a real force. I agree with the hooker position we need Atkin interchanging, he didn't feature much against cas, did he get a knock? Going for another nail biting Salford win by a score

We need as many fans in as possible on Saturday evening. KR have already sold their initial allocation of 750 tickets, that means a 1,000 - 1,500 KR fans. We need all our fans in on Saturday to show up and support the boys, the South Stand was brilliant last Sunday. |
