Horne's a right edge player. Never looks as comfortable on the left imo but we're short of options.

I think it will be tough but I fully expect us to win!

As for Horne and the second row, our best two players in that position are both out out injured, Larroyer and Donaldson. Horne for me would possibly get a start on the bench due to been able to cover at centre.

I hope Chester is right with his pack selections because Wakey have a big robust pack led by the inspirational Kirmond.

Many people have spoken about the negatives to last weeks performance but I thought it was a fantastic spectacle; a couple of crucial mistakes by Thaler influenced the result but overall for a first outing I was very impressed. If we can build on that performance then I see no reason why we won't bring the points home today.

There is a break coming up for the WCS so there will be no excuse for leaving anything in the tank; I'm expecting another high scoring free flowing game but this time in favour of Rovers.

If we lose today would it be to early to think we are not going to make top 8?

No if you are a glass half empty person like my old man, but yes if you are a glass half full person like me.
I have been fortunate enough to make good and reasonably effective judgements for the most part in my lifetime and I think this is a better Hull KR team than last year and a team that will go well in SL this year.
I expect us to win today but not by the comfortable margin of last season's games versus Wakey as they have improved too.
If the Rovers team are fortunate to be blessed with my positivity then they will view the Leeds games one they should have won and probably would have done if it was played around week 4 instead of week 1.
Rovers to win by 10 points and come 4.45pm this afternoon, I am convinced all negativity will be consigned to history. COYR.

Dixon & Welham dropped.

Cockayne & Salter in for them.

Sounds like a game with little structure. Playing what is front of us, not really working. Rovers sound to be very error prone and to be struggling defensively. 16-12 wakefield, half-time. If one team manages to find a bit of composure, they win I reckon.

Re: Wakie game. : Sun Feb 15, 2015 3:56 pm  

At the game, letting wakey play the ball to quick, need to slow it down.
