[John Drake]

Discuss Warrington Wolves v Hull Kingston Rovers here.

[Harry Stottle]

Interesting one this, KR boyed by to successive victories, Warrington pleased with the victory in France, will go for Warrington because of home advantage. 

[Alffi 7]

Greg Inglis to be named in the 17 according to Steve Price in the press conf today...

[HKR AWAY DAYS]

Greg Inglis, one of the biggest signings in Super League history, makes his debut on Saturday, on the OurLeague app, where only Wire and HKR fans can watch, whilst Super League has just signed a greatly-reduced TV deal with Sky Sports, who won't be broadcasting the game anyway.

Rovers win in golden point in front of a TV audience smaller than the population of North Sentinel Island...

Good point, you would think sky would have been all over it. 

[Old Frightful]

We'll be watching via our dodgy reprogrammed firestick that can show all and sundry.

Will be hoping for a Wire victory but, nonetheless, will be mildly amused if our friends from East Hull nick it.

[Hull Kingston Bronco]

Wire are a benchmark, this will be a very interesting test of the level of this very different KR side - especially the pack’s ability to create a platform for Abdul. Nothing to lose here. 

[The Frying Scotsman]

Wire should win this one handily.

I predict they will come out firing after last week and blow HKR away.

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Wire by 18.

[Bedfordshire Bronco]

Okay I'll trust the Wire fans here

I have Austin in my fantasy team.... Do I sub him this week or us he likely to play? 

 

[muckymunksy]

Hull Kr to win and Inglis to retire straight after. 

[meast]

I'm with the minority, I think Rovers will sneak it!

[DimmestStar]

Bookies have Wire by 12 over 80 minutes and that seems fair enough.

But they had Cas by 16, Hudds by 10 and Leeds by 6 in Rovers previous 3 games and were wrong every time. Here's hoping.

I think it's safe to say he won't be playing.

I'm sure Blake Austin hasn't played his last game for Warrington.   He is however out of form, and his agent is offering him to other clubs.   So I guess he doesn't form part of Powell's plans going forward.

I think he'd make a great impact player from the bench in the NRL, and would probably still earn more than he could at another club in the UK.

I can't help but think under a better coach Austin would do better, but my opinion of Price's ability to put any sort of structure in our attack probably taints my views of the players.

Exactly . Sky should have been getting this somewhere in the schedules . Inglis playing is a ginormous story

Almost certainly.   I think the problem going forward though is that we have a marquee halfback for 2022 in Widdop, who is now doing the business and justifying the bigger salary.   I imagine Powell will want to either bring pair him a British half-back with potential such as Trueman from Cas, or develop Riley Dean who looks very promising.

Also, Austin's marquee slot will undoubtedly be part of the negotiations to retain Daryl Clark, who I'm sure is the first name on Powell's wish list.

[Cheshire Setter]

Inglis named in the starting line up on the right side but he’s on the left inside Charnley.

[Old Frightful]

SKD opens the scoring.

King atones for his error on the KR try by showing he’s the best centre at the club still, including GI.

Toby King replies for Wire, Ratchford from touch.

Wire 6 Rervers 6.
