Predictions against Wakey? : Sun Mar 01, 2009 11:51 pm  

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 both teams play as they have been doing it should be a cracker with Rovers home advantage just telling.

23 - 16

Hopefully both teams can play like they did on Friday night. If HKR can keep Brad Drew quiet then we have more of a chance I think.

Prediction: HKR 28 V 20 Wakey.

I think this week will be an ask too much of our depleted squad. Obst and Stosic won't be playing, George apparently took a knock in the reserves and there just aren't any more players to replace them with.

Sculthorpe will probably be forced back. I jus can't see how Wakey can win this one unfortunately. Although i've said that many times before and been proven wrong

Wakefields team spirit has certainly overcome adversity this season.

Home advantage will hopefully see the Rovers achieve a win.

Very close fought match I think. Hopefully our home support and a continuation of our defensive effort will see us through.

13 - 12 to Rovers clinched by a Dobbo DG.

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.

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!

Now thats a little bit of a contradiction, what makes you think that john kear or the wakey players wont recognise this (warrington playing so poorly). IMO the wakey players will again rise up to the challenge as they obv see that KR have beaten saints at KR And therefore this game may pose more of a challenge than the one vs wire did.
Which based on this seasons performances the wakey boys will put as much effort and desire as they can possibly muster, HOWEVER we have now lost another prop (james stosic playing v well at mo to what looks like knee ligament damage) and sam obst (you all know about him, to a hamstring injury) this depletes our squad further and imo this will be one game too far for us against a well drilled side with abit of quality who seem to be playing well.

So Hull KR 26 - 18 Wakefield

This game will still be a toughy, let's not forget they have beaten us on the last two occasions we have played them.

Wakefield will give everything they have as they have been doing up to now, the team spirit from both clubs is there for all to see.

Rovers will have to be patient & not push the pass as we did against Leeds, build field position & execute the game plan & we will win.

This game is very important & as Justin has already said, we need to string some wins together, crucial that we approach this game with the same attitude as the Saints game or Wakefield may turn us over & all the hard work from the previous 3 games is undone.
