Only 4 Days away and not even discussing the game. I’ve booked my bus seat and match ticket this morning, even though still bitterly disappointed from the Cas game. Another chap getting his at the same time and saying as bad as we’ve been just lately we still need to get behind the club.Let’s hope we can put a strong 17 team out for this game. This will be another difficult game for us, KR are well coached and playing well, but we’ve upset the odds before, we can do it again.

If we get a few back, I fancy us in this game.

Up the Trin

Form has this as a loss and a big one at that. I just don't see how we could turn around the last two performances in such a short space of time.

52 of us from vietnorm departing at 10.

Apparently Fifita and Johnstone should be back along with the ones WP thought needed a rest.

Going in mi own transport ([size=50so I can sneak out early if necessary[/size

) Need to get tickets tomorrow.

Game doesn’t start until 3pm, how will you fill in the time until KO

It's a tester that's for sure.

Any seats left?

Well, IF, we get players back and play as we can, then we may have a chance.
If we don't have at least Fifita and Johnstone back, and play as we just have, then we're in trouble again.

Have seen coaches in the past say that this is the real testing game over the Easter period....yes, the two close games are hard but the fatigue factor really kicks in the week after!

This will be where we see whether Willie got it right sending a weakened team to Wigan. The points difference hurt us, but it was a game we were never going to win...the previous week we threw everything at them and came up short so was a huge ask.

We've a good recent record at KR winning on 4 of our last 5 visits....if the players who were missing at Wigan were in fact rested/dropped and not injured and they come back in then we could be a totally different proposition.

In Fifita, Arona, Hood, Whitbread, Crowther there's 5 fresh forwards to come in and that will be a huge difference, as it would be with Max and TJ back in...Batchelor only played one of the Easter games too so there should be no lack of energy in the forwards.

KR had two much harder games than we had and only made 4 changes so there's no excuses and we should have the upper hand in the energy stakes and if one team is hit by the fatigue factor it shouldnt be us....confidence could win the day though as one team goes in off 5 straight wins against one off 3 straight losses! Not a lost cause though if we can put the last couple of weeks behind us and play how we have away at the likes of Saints, Catalans, Warrington...

Well regarding this game I hope to see us go there and give KR a good go.

As mentioned we have Jowitt, TJ back in the backs.

We have Fifita, Arona, Whitbread, Crowther back in the forwards (hopefully).

Bowes most likely back too for interchange 9. Batch should have plenty energy in the tank.

We have Miller and Lino back pairing.

That’s a lot of positives for me.

The only dilemma for Poching for me is whether he puts Kay at 9 and goes with Murphy/Dave Tanivalu at wing.

Easter was tough but Poching and the team need to erase it from the minds with a clean slate and get back to what we were doing right in our batch of wins vs wire. Starting from the basics of necessery.

Poching needs to be strong in this period after Easter and this next 4 games is what will define our season looking at the fixtures. If the players truly want to be challenging with a chance of playoff rugby then these games are exactly where they need to be tough and earn the right with good old hard work.
