If hull kr can reproduce the effort they put in against Hull I think they'll take the 2 points if they have parcell, Abdul and garbut playing. They gave Hull much more of a game than Leeds did.

Maybe, though your derby performance fell a fair bit short of the one you put in the week previous. While it was a decent game to watch and rovers did well to keep it tight against the odds, they weren't all that threatening I thought. That said, how Leeds will play is anyone's guess.

I think it'll go all the way me. Golden point.

We are 1 of only 4 teams without a win and Hull kr were favourites for the drop before the season kicked off, we simply have to win this game.

Unexpected week off, may be a blessing in disquise, we should hav everyone fit except long term injuries, so can reset and make this game 1, all next 2 games are winnable and put us in some good shape for Warrington

To me our next game against KR how we perform will be a good indication as to how the first half of the season will go .

Its always a difficult thing to quantify. I think against you we really wanted to make a statement and we put everything into it. Then we had a short turnaround and struggled to bring that same intensity against Rovers. So whilst Rovers got a lot of plaudits, did they really offer more against us than Leeds did? I really don't know. But fwiw if Garbutt and Parcell are playing then I'm backing KR.

Come on Sir Kev we have played 1 game which granted we were well beaten in - KR have played 2 and lost one and they never really looked like beating Hull FC so I hardly think it is a must win situation. Let’s wait until we have played 3 or 4 games and see where we are.
Think too many Loiners fans have glasses half empty.

He's being sarcastic - the 'must win game' is his schtick, he will use it every game this season

OTOH Seumanafani, our biggest hitting prop should start after missing the FC game which kind of cancels out Garbutt's return (if indeed he's fit). Parcell can be a game changer but just as often goes missing. I reckon we'll win but have the feeling it'll not be easy.

I think Parcell has 1 more game of his suspension to serve and I don't think Mitch is quite fit yet. Still gonna be tough game and I wouldn't be in the least surprised if we lost
