For a team that has just about all season to plan for the middle 8's it does seem that Wakey do not appear to have done a lot of forward planning. It will usually take 3 or 4 new players a few weeks to gel its going to take 7 or 8 months.

Forward planning from a fax fan, your club weren't even planning to be in the middle eight's

Thanks for nice words about Saturday. Leigh this year are pretty similar to us in 06 and we can appreciate what it's like to come back from teetering on the brink so well done to Leigh for that.
As for Saturday, I think you'll see pretty good numbers travelling over to continue the feel good factor that Saturday has brought. Think the game could go either way, you might see Rovers on the crest of a wave or there might be a few eyes on Wembley already. To be honest I would expect Widnes to reap the benefits of that due to people being rested and then Wakey the week after the final. It's a massive game for both teams on Saturday, Leigh have an opportunity to lay down a marker against the team favourites to come through the middle 8s and a win for Rovers should just about see us through what with the 4 home games to come.
Should be a good day regardless.

You have mistaken our club for opposition fans.

Not sure how a thread about Hull KR has been hijacked by Wakey and Halifax but there ya go

I think Saturday is a big game, and I don't think there will be a cup hangover as such from Rovers, I firmly believe we will turn up and showcase a good performance and wins/momentum is key leading upto Wembley. As alluded to, it'll be maybe the week before the CC final that might be a flat performance.
Both teams need to win this one and i'm looking forward to renewing that 'friendly' Leigh/Rovers rivalry we had from years back!!

We might be a championship side next season but i know who i would rather watch. We also have not acted against the spirit of the game in signing 9 players just for the qualifiers. Yes i know no 'rules' have been broken. Enjoy your time sharing at the SL quality stadium that is Dewsbury. If you can't respect others for their achievements then you get no respect from me.

There's your offending post squire, If you can be bothered to read the thread from the beginning you'll notice no Wakefield fan had posted on here until that bitter insecure poster above decided to include us HTH.

Its because out of hundreds and thousands of Hull Kr fans, only a couple of them have internet.

Tongue in cheek obviously as I like Rovers I think our partnership has worked well this year and as long as rovers do not go back on their word to give us 2 points in the 8's as long as they are safe Im sure it will continue to flourish.

The Bulls have a similar arrangement with Brian Smith at Wakey whereby they will donate the 2 points.

Chissit = the perfect example of a touchy fan. Would make a very poor fish. Don't need to list records and achievements cause everyone else has seen them.

Re: Hull KR : Mon Aug 03, 2015 7:12 pm  

Anyone know how ticket sales are going for Saturdays game?
I realise we are expecting a big crowd but for the cup game v Salford talk was already emerging about how many tickets Salford and ourselves had sold to give an idea of whether it was worth pre purchasing to get in the North stand.

The thing with these middle eights is that four teams are there because they haven't been playing well enough and the other four are there because they have been playing well and should be full of confidence, I'm a Rovers fan but I'm expecting some tough games and don't expect a walk in the park at all.
