Great post tho that bob I'd agree with that

I think we will probably get beat on monday as Huddersfield are due a win and when this is the case with any team, we seem to be the next fixture. What I do like is our never say die atitude and is something I commented on earlier in the season and one thing that needed changing from previous years was once we went 18 points down 40+ would follow without a fight, we now at least give it a go till the end whilst playing better attacking rugby.

We may have been 'lucky' in some peoples eyes to win the last two games from such a distance but I suppose they also viewed as being unlucky against Bradford earlier in the year. I am hoping for a Rovers victory not epecting one yet I have said that the last two weeks.

OK I'll mention Hull FC again for you then.

Huddersfield have wiped the floor with Hull FC not once but twice this season. Not just in Super League but in the challenge cup too.

Hull FC have also been crushed by Wigan on their own ground. They have an owner who has been sacked by Hull City and who cries to the RFL when they get beat by Rovers.

Can't think of anything else about them, hang on they have fans who love to come on a Hull KR forum. Have I missed anything?

hudds didn't wipe the floor with Hull at the galpharm. HTH

Rovers have a decent team and a very, very good coach. Slowly things are coming together, the progress graph has not had a uniform incline, nor will it have. If we lose away on Monday to a quality Huddersfield team I dare say the doubters will be back out in force. The good thing is we have progressed to a point where people give us a genuine chance away to Huddersfield a team who has wiped the floor twice with Hull FC this season, at home & away, in the league & in the cup.

Not here, but then I'm a natural pessimist.

I think the fact that anyone thinks we have a chance has more to do with Huddersfield's form than our own. As Sandra quite rightly summarised, we will get dry bummed.

wonder how many would be calling for sandy's head had he not got very lucky in the last 2 games?

How did he get lucky?

Do games only last for 80 minutes when he is coaching?

You forgot to mention the full page article in the Hull Daily Mail crying about injuries followed by the quote "but we aren't crying about injuries"

No, not at all. Just stopped you from scoring a single try.

Re: Daunting Trip to Huddersfield (ala Catalan Board) : Sun Jun 10, 2012 10:04 am  

In an effort for some immediate credibility I will have a stab at a score prediction Huds 28 KR 30. It's a long shot I know, but I could live off this first post for the next year if it comes off. I'm off to tart up my profile with something witty!
