Its a worry this match as on paper we should win it comfortably given wakeys injuries and the performances we have put in so far this year.

Kear is a master at coaching teams in adversity, I think he actaully does this much better than he does when hes got a full team to pick from. I'm just hoping the last 2 injuries have knocked the final bit of steam out of his team.

If we get on the front foot early I feel Wakey might crumble, but if we let them get there noses in front they'll run on confidence and will be very dificult to pull back... certainly wouldn't risk any cash on this one.

But you beating Saints away wouldnt have the same effect on the Rovers players???

Pathetic reason to justify a win tbh.

More likely the fact wakey have 8 players out and playing a young squad may be their downfall but very hard game to call!

Do you have to justify wins these days? How odd.

Bobbin...I think Mr Irregs 16 obviously should be Irregs 19 as he has too much time on his hands.

Either that or he's doing a DIY psychology course on Gypsyville

I will quiet happily justify a Huddersfield win against you guys. And no not really, we have played 3 of the so called top 4 teams in this league so far and played well against all of them.

TBH i think this one is difficult to call as will most games this year judging by early season results. Rovers will obviously start as favorites being at home though it is anything but a gimme.

Tough call but Rovers to edge it 16-10.

Wakefield will enter the game with some confidence after doing that demolition job on the Wire.

There are some indications that they may well be missing a couple of players from that game but it is then up to the incoming ones 'to step up to the plate'.

Wakefield have prove our bogey side since our promotion to Super League and once again i'll be happy with a win.....any win. They are in the position they are because of their performances in adversity. We have played three top teams and despite our own injuries have put up three fantastic performances.

Home advantage and a loud East stand to see us through. HKR by 6.

No offence to Wakefield but with their injuries and our confidence I can see us notching a large scoreline against them. Id go in the range of 42 - 12 to rovers.

i hope so mate,but can`t see it myself.22-18 to rovers.

Call me a pessimist but I think Rovers will lose 20 - 22 this week.

Still think we will beat Celtic, Wire and Salford the 3 weeks after though.

Well i think we have a really good chance of beating them, i mean both teams are on form at the moment but i think Wakey may just let the Warrington game get a little bit to their heads. Yes they thrashed Warrington but lets remember that Warrington arent exactly playing the best rugby at the minute.

Im going to go for a 24-16 home win for us.

Feeling quiet confident...for once

If we lose it won't be because of that. FWIW I think we just won't have enough left in the tank for this one, but that our players as usual will give it their all. We need some bodies back, and quick.
