GIANTS away : Sat Jul 17, 2021 7:57 am  

Sounds like were gonna be good to go for Thursday night.

Pointlesss trying to think about a team until squad announcement and see who we've got available.
Think we'll be taking a few even though it's pencilled in for Sky.
Restrictions gone and plenty looking forward to seeing a live game.
Sneak a result and set us up for a good back-end Old Trafford assault.
We live in hope.

Think we will have a few back Wiz, looking forward to it, fingers crossed there’s no flipping c word to dismantle the game.

I watched them last night against the pies, although Leon lad Will Pryce is only just starting his career, he already looks a tremendous prospect at half back, very quick, beats men, kicking game, his dad was commentating on the game and you could tell he was over the moon with his performance, yet trying to subdue his obvious delight, he couldn’t when his lad scored.

Sounds like a few out for covid protocols for the game, which is interesting as according to Rovers fans we cheated the system to avoid bottom club Leigh and world champions elect Rovers.

Obviously for Rovers 3 games against the top 2 and us (all sides above them) which they cancelled, that was different and all above board.

"Tony Smith says Hull KR would be open to playing Leigh Centurions this week if Thursday’s derby is called off for a second time.

“We’ll do whatever is necessary to get this competition completed in the best way possible, keeping in mind player welfare issues.

“We’ll do whatever is practical to get the maximum number of games completed.”

You're not eligible for the playoffs if you don't play enough games, maybe you can't be relegated (Leigh) if you don't play enough games.

According to Brett Hodgson in the Yorkshire Post you can only rearrange a game in the order they were postponed which is potentially good news for us, not so much for our neighbours.

“We’d like to get the derby in, but the reality is that Hull KR have a number of fixtures before that one that they have to fill in, as do we with Salford and Leigh.

“It has to be done in the order of games you missed by the guidelines set out by the RFL.

“We’ll try and get some of the games into the schedule where it fits. How many, time will tell.”

You are eligible for the play offs if you don't play enough games so long as you have won more games than the 6th place team.

I read somewhere that whenever possible, games should be rearranged in the order they were postponed.

How have we taken the mickey out of the system, like you have put on the Rovers forum?

Wait, what? They slithered out of playing Saints and Catalans but we are bending the rules to avoid Leigh and Rovers? Jesus Christ the Ben Cockayne conspiracy theory paranoia is institutionalised
