We are fuct. We will lose next week, finish 12th and have a right 'kin set o fixtures to deal with.

I fear for us this time around, although I have been drinking considerably.

hudds will probably lose their last 2 and you'll be 11th if you lose to leeds. I don;t see us winning at salford as radford will rest a few

Spoon shoot-out, unless Hudds do the decent thing and lose to Saints and Wire.

Hitting bottom in round 23 would feel like an oddly fitting, if rather sad finale to our massively extended pre-season.

Reasons to go all out...
If we don't, it could be a reet hiding now Leeds seem to be finding some form.
If we did win, we'd have a good chance at 4 home games (might mean hoping for Hull win though).
Handing Leeds the spoon would be nice after they humbled us so thoroughly at Wembley.

Reasons to rest one or two who need it...
We'd probably still lose going all out anyway. Genuinely sorry to be defeatist.
We need as many healthy bodies as possible for the 8s

webster's interview on Hull KR tv implied pretty clearly that they've been looking at the options.

Yeah but you run a reserve team and have not had any injuries so should be able to field a strong side saying that you've fuct us right over losing to Leeds and Hudds and turning us over you probably will lose to Salford

Don't do HKR tv for Chadwick-related reasons, but I heard Webbo on t'wireless last night. He seems to consider finishing 11th will give us a good set of fixtures. I hope he wasn't dope tested last night.

Proper narked with my team right now. But I don't just sing "Rovers till I die", I will live it as well in the 8's. Batley here I come.

Bit off-topic, and it won't matter this year, I imagine - but really these games should kick-off simultaneously. If it came down to points difference, knowing how many you need to win by or can afford to lose by is a clear advantage.

Been saying the same for years, only in Sky-dominated RL can fairness be cast aside like a 1982 World Cup German-Austrian pact.

The only upside to finishing 11th is that we get Leigh at home
