Sun 5th June : SL : Hull Kingston Rovers v Salford Red Devils KO 15:00

Discuss the SL game between Hull Kingston Rovers and Salford Red Devils here.

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

HKR by 10.

[Oxford]

Injuries will be key but home advantage should do it.

 

[Pete Grady]

Confidence and an improved defence is with Salford and so Red Devils by 8-12 points.

[Old Frightful]

Salford have been steadily improving since their horror show at home to Catalans on Easter Monday. A couple of narrow defeats at Wigan and Saints was followed by a couple of good wins v Leeds and Cas.

Rovers on the other hand have struggled of late, the eight points they scored in the home defeat to Catalans last time out are the only points they've scored in their last three games having being nilled by both Cas and Leeds previously.

So if we use Cas and Leeds as a guide it should be an away win, however Rovers will be desperate for a win in front of their fans so I expect a close one.

Hull KR 10 Salford 16.

Naturally hoping for a win but will probably go down like Lockerbie tbh...

I could get splinters in my a**e with this one, but I'll go with Salford just.

Tasteless is my MO. I'd have thought you'd be used to it by now

[StandOffHalf]

I think Hull Kingston Rovers will get up over the top of the City Reds at home.

28-24

I think that Salford have their slippers on. Can't keep on their feet. 12  - 0 Rovers after 15

[johnh1]

18 - 0 after 25. Game all but over already.

[johnh1]

Half time.   19 - 6

[Liverpool Rover]

From what I’ve heard so far Rovers have played well and Salford have been awful but I’ll take this after the last month.

This is a game already largely forgotten. Odd given it was a real 4 pointer which was central to where the season would point to for KR and SRD.

Sadly it looked like some of the Devils were firmly in Jubilee mood. (Both as on the weekend's Regal beanfest and as in the plotless chaos of the Derek Jarman version).

I first heard the phrase "Same old same" at the Willows after another crushing heavy defeat. It was that today.

After a handful of encouraging performances, it was back to Same Old Same. Shame. Lots for Rowley to think on. The pack proved it lacks punch and the return of ill discipline is as disappointing as being stood up at a Sammy Smith's pub on a Tuesday.

If I was a keen investor, I'd be adding me share for a new prop or three than wait to see if the AJ Bell of Doom rings for sale.

Move on - Wigan next.
