[quote="debaser"]What possible evidence do you have that brings you to that conclusion?
You have seen us play right?

Okay, I admit this is more of a hunch than an evidence based opinion but I feel that there may well be a raising of the game, as it were, because of the occasion. I'm not going to suggest a Bradford win ( I don't go around insisting everyone calls me Rameses Niblic III kerplunk-kerplunk whoops where's my thribble ) However, I don't believe it will be the cricket score that many are suggesting.

Now I think about it- or rather, now that it has been pointed out-see above posts, I agree that ticketing would be a problem with the 'announce the games later' suggestion I made.

Judging from the 19 man squad, you would assume Halafihi is playing in the centres again. Wonderful.

James Bentley
Cameron Smith
Johnny Campbell
Dane Chisholm
James Davies
Vila Halafihi
Sam Hallas
Joe Keyes
Liam Kirk
Jordan Lilley
Iliess Macani
Jon Magrin
Scott Moore
Mikolaj Oledzki
Ross Peltier
Brandon Pickersgill
Colton Roche
Ethan Ryan
Oscar Thomas

I'd go with this:

Thomas
Campbell
Bentley
Ryan
Macani
Chisholm
Lilley
Magrin
Moore
Kirk
Smith
Roche
Hallas

Oledzki
Peltier
Keyes
Davies


Bentley would be a far better option in the centre the Halafihi. He's quicker, a better defender and is used to playing out wide.

Not sure what's up with Caro?

Re: Hull KR - Summer Bashed : Thu May 25, 2017 12:05 pm  

Despite Halafihi at centre and Macani on wing, it's actually a strong squad the rest of it. Good to see Bentley back. Missed him massively and interesting to see Moore in there. Damage limitation this game, but squad strength wise, we look pretty good for the crunch game against Dewsbury. Confidence wise, different story.

Re: Hull KR - Summer Bashed : Thu May 25, 2017 12:12 pm  

Just to rub a little salt in the wounds too, Danny Addy & Kieren Moss named in KR's 19 despite having been out for a few weeks prior.

Ben Cockayne
Liam Salter
Ryan Shaw
Jamie Ellis
Nick Scruton
Shaun Lunt
Maurice Blair
Danny Addy
Jordan Abdull
Zach Dockar-Clay
Robbie Mulhern
Andrew Heffernan
Joe Wardill
Jake Butler-Fleming
Joe Cator
David Hodgson
Kieren Moss
Ben Kavanagh
Josh Johnson

No doubt we'll get stuffed but glad to see Bentley back. Hopefully Oakes or Mendeika back for the Dewsbury game.

Or at least if not, it would be nice to take a centre on dual reg from Widnes. Someone like Armstrong or Chamberlain. Understandably I doubt any DR available this weekend with the double SL fixtures. We can't keep playing Halafihi there.

Re: Hull KR - Summer Bashed : Thu May 25, 2017 3:36 pm  

Good to see Moore in their. Has his case been heard or adjourned again?. Agree about Bentley in centres or maybe pickersgill? Anyone but halafihi.

Chamberlain had been playing up at Workington and from what I've heard from their fans they weren't that impressed and would have rather seen a local lad playing. Still, at least he'd actually be playing in the right position rather than us using a Hooker there.
