Hull KR : Sat Aug 01, 2015 2:00 pm  

Well that looked... ominous!

They looked fantastic today and we are going to have to be at our very best to give ourselves a shot.

Some of the imports they have look a class above, especially Albert Kelly.

Going to be tough next week, hopefully today took a lot out of them.

Congratulations to them for getting to Wembley

Look at their form though Nozzy. One week world beaters the next week getting stuffed. I just hope that they bring the latter game next week and Kelly has an off day.

Positives - they'll have a hangover from the semi final and will have their eye on the final.

Negatives - their fans won't travel over for the game against us as they will be saving for the trip to London. Especially as it's on sky. That will cost us financially, hence the pleas from the club Leigh fans to buy tickets.

Don't care how many they bring as long as West and North are packed. It will be a bonus whatever they bring but we need to get behind our team and intimidate their team in the nicest and politest possible way.

I think they need to win all the matches before Wembley as they will not get over the hammering that Leeds give them. I reckon they have moved up to the vulnerable category as all their imports will have their eyes on Wembley and injury will not be an option.

Was hoping that Wire would knick it last minute and leave them physically and emotionally drained but that would have been undeserved, they played well today. If we play our best it should be a fantastic game, gutted I'm going to miss it. It'll be Widnes & Wakefield who they play either side of the final will benefit, not sure it'll make much of a difference to anyone else. I still think Hull KR will be safe but that could be a vital win for Wakefield the week after the final which could throw our plans off!

They played better than Warrington who I thought were quite poor with the exception of Hill and Simms.

To paraphrase Matthew 6:26 (after watching KR today, I can only be thankful that God is a Leyther), my "aye" is with the (Lowton) Sparrow. Yup, when the gap got to two points, I thought "Go on Wolves, utterly deflate them now". Wasn't to be, and the tykes deservedly won. Someone has commented that KR blow hot and cold. Well The Wire have been the same all season. We got their hot version, KR got their cold. Let's hope for a chilly to frozzzzen turn up from the Humbersiders next week. Can't see an emoticon for fingers crossed ( hope not deceit).

You got the hot version! you're having a laugh mate, you played them when they were in the middle of a slump, most people on RLfans will tell you it's the worst wire have played this year against you and still won, Salford were decimated with injuries and suspensions and Wakey should have and will spank you now they have sorted their coach out, the truth is you're a championship side now and will still be at the end of the season.

And I hope you finish up with egg on your face.
