It's knockout rugby now, Hull KR have some very talented attacking players and won't be a pushover at all. It will be a tough match which is exactly what playoff rugby should be. I think Leeds will beat Wigan in the other match, I don't see anyone but us or catalans having the potential to be able to stop saints, they're the team to beat for sure. We need to earn the right to have a crack at Saints and that won't be easy, it's definitely a potential banana skin here, Cooper will be a big miss if he is suspended. I hope Darryl Clark is fit plus King and Walker. We will need our best available side to be at our best plus a bench of subs who will actually be used.

We absolutely should be beating Hull KR though, no excuses. We play at our best and they play at theirs and we beat them.

. If it was saints it would be a 1 game ban, heaven forbid they be missing a player in the playoffs through suspension.

Reduced to 0 on appeal

They took a battering last night, including some injuries. They'll be pretty rough going into next week

Saints have got a trump card though. They turn up to the disciplinary and threaten to put on one of those RedVee post-match videos; the panel fold like a pack of cards.

Tony smith has quietly assembled a decent team. Plus he has a couple of wire alumni as well who will be up for the contest as well.

I said during the close season that HKR were assembling a handy squad, would improve hugely and be a threat. FMC shot me down and dismissed them, and I'm still waiting for a complimentary case of Harvey's by way of an apology.

Meh, they've been better than I expected, takarangi has been a big part of that (whom they hadn't signed when we had this convo) they've some good stuff but pretty much every team below us in the table could be interchangeable with how bad their season has been.

Kr and Leeds are the best of a bad bunch.

Also, how much do you drink Harvey's Bristol cream, you've mentioned that before.

Week 1

We (3rd) play 6th at home
Wigan (4th) play 5th at home

Week 2
Catalans play the lowest placed team at home
Saints play the highest ranked team at home.

So say for example both us and wigan win, we go to saints, and wigan go to catalans
