Fri 13 Aug: SL: Hull Kingston Rovers v Wigan Warriors KO 19:45

[John Drake]

Discuss Hull Kingston Rovers v Wigan Warriors here.

[Old Frightful]

Should be a cracker.

[Davo5]

A game Wigan can win if Lam stops picking players out of position,do it will  probably be a KR victory in a close one.

[Exiled Wiganer]

Why are we still playing all these games? All we are doing is losing players to injury and suspension. All we need is to fake a couple of tests and then we can have a much needed rest. It is absurd that we are required to play so many games while pretty much everyone else plays when they likes. 

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Wigan by 12.

[Father Ted]

HKR are at home and will have the advantage of their crowd. Wigan might have a better squad but that has to show itself this season.

Rovers have a coach who's clued up, Wigan have a coach who's clueless!

I thought Rovers won at Wigan because their coach out coached his opposite number!

wigan by 20

[DimmestStar]

The bookies have Wigan as big favourites and as we know, around this time of the season they tend to get their act together and their injured players back.

Rovers have first choice half backs Abdull & Lewis missing and with Hardaker returning it means Hastings can pair with Smith to give Wigan a big advantage in that department.

Rovers won without Abdull at their place but it might be asking too much for lightening to strike twice.

[Old Frightful]

Shame.

I thought it was going to be a cracker but, with Rovers having such a decimated squad, Wigan should coast it.

[JohnM]

Should, but probably won't.

[Vambo]

Hoping for a Wigan win but personally I think HKR are the likely victors here. Happy to be proven wrong though.

I've said it previously but I'll say it again that I think HKR are one of the best teams to watch this season. They play a great style of rugby and I think they're a real credit to the game.

[Futtocks]

A minute's silence for Ged Dunn.

[Futtocks]

Less than 2 minutes gone and Sam Powell's off for a HIA. He looked pretty groggy, so may not return.

[dkw]

The old Tongan side step....

[DavidM]

Try for Vete . I take it his case from the leigh game was rightly chucked out 

[Man of Kent]

Good luck stopping Vete from there. Beast mode.

[bratman]

Powerful from Vete.

[johnh1]

Cmon Revers.

[dkw]

Good try, looked like a set move they've practiced over and over.....

 

[bratman]

Good try, great start Rovers!

[Futtocks]

A second try to KR - a bit loose and improvised, but that's what they can do, given the opportunity.

[DavidM]

Gildart got sorted out there as that move started 

[Futtocks]

Powell has failed his HIA.

[Davo5]

A Wigan errorfest being punished by a slick KR

Yeah, not sure how well he'll do in the NRL!
