This game's a bit too early for us. Lowes is still juggling the team about, a long way from knowing his best 17. We're building gradually for the Middle 8's whereas Rovers will be battle hardened trying to avoid them.

If HKR dont take the game seriously it could be close but really they should win by 40 points

happy enough with that. should give us a decent yardstick as to where we're at and should bring a bit of cash into club as well. not sure KR are as clear cut favourites as some are making out TBH. Both team respective injury lists come gameday will play a big part in result IMO.

Go get em lads, rip in and shake them up before the 8's

Re: Challenge Cup: Hull KR (H) : Tue Mar 24, 2015 7:37 pm  

If we lose the game by 40 I would be bitterly disappointed. I certainly can't see Lowes accepting a 40 point loss at home. Underdogs maybe but if we have ambitions of SL then i would expect us to be running Hull KR close. Can't say I'm too bothered about the result because a cup run isn't high on my list of achievements this year but I feel it's vitally important for confidence that we perform well and compete.

Can't agree with this, HKR to win by 40 points???. If we don't run close in a home cup tie like this, however HKR play, we may as well pack up now.

You must be taking the mickey how can you say Bradford would start favourites this is a game we should win and win easily

It won't be easy at all, if played with our current pack as it stands it's even less convincing, you'd hope we'd sign 1 or 2 by the time this game rolls around.

Shame no games will be televised.

Absolutely right 'Bully Boxer'. I can't even see my lot (Leigh) beating you by that many, come the end of the season!

This is pretty much how I'm feeling in relation to this game. Set down a marker for the 8's comp at the end of the season.

Is your funtimeflange a troll generally or just sneery about bradford?

Re: Challenge Cup: Hull KR (H) : Tue Mar 24, 2015 8:18 pm  

We still have 4 games before this so I expect us to be getting close to a settled team after playing 10 games.
I would like to see Davis, Ferguson, Baile and Lauaki fully fit by then along with a confident Seika. It would be interesting then to see how we go.
