Please stick to discussing the match in question and do not accuse match officials of being biased or corrupt or you run the risk of being immediately banned from the forum.

HKR at home are very difficult to beat. Don't think Leigh, with their depleted squad, have enough to win. Rovers by 18.

[Thunder Road]

We will be beaten easily....KR by 20

[LeytherRob]

I'd be shocked if this is anything but a fairly convincing win for KR. They're in good form and playing well, we're in a hole with the injuries and lacking confidence, not to mention Dwyer won't be available for us.

Still, Amone could be back this week much earlier than anticipated and Mulhern is a maybe so there is light starting to appear at the end of the tunnel and we can hopefully start getting the bulk of our salary cap back on the field.

Over as a contest within the first half. Probably follow a similar pattern to last week, silly mistakes, followed by an inability to defend the line, missed tackles galore and another sin bin that is either not charged by the MRP, or is rescinded on appeal.

Sin bins shouldn’t on the hole lead to a charge by the MRP if the refs got it right the sin bin should be a sufficient penalty.

That's true. Didn't question the Moylan sin bin last week for example. And we've had a number for professional fouls on top of the two that were overturned on appeal. Just a trend that we've had a lot of yellow cards that didn't result in bans. Wouldn't be surprised to see the same again.

Rovers by 16

Dwyer can play now.

[Zilla Budgie]

KR by plenty.  40-12

KR with a 30+ point win, game over after 15 mins and just hope we don’t risk the returning props for this one. Asiata back soon, God knows where Ipape is at and some more incoming soon will set us up for a decent second half to season

News on Ipape was that he could be out for up to 12 weeks. Only been around 8 weeks since the injury.

Ipape likely to be back for the Cas match.

Should be a good game this, looking forward to it.

Could do either way but i'll got for KR by 10

Missed a serious trick there. One post saying “admin receiving treatment after a big hit by Beaumont” would’ve got the engagements to score more IMG points alone.

Well we won't tell you how many coaches turn up its a secret  

[up the robins]

I'm expecting it to be quite close I can see us scraping through by 8

[Old Frightful]

This game is the start of a possible 240 minutes of sheer terror for Hull FC supporters with the fear of losing the only thing that we can have a pop at our East Hull friends about!

Leigh only have to look at the Good Friday Hull derby to realise that my shower actually managed to win the second half for some positivity. (Yes, we are that desperate!)

But, as with the majority on here, I just can't see Hull KR losing at home. Leigh's only chance will be to get on the board with a couple of early scores first. Failure to do that may well see a fairly comprehensive home win.

And a long agonising wait until the semi finals for me.

More than I expected with the GN and lack of team - 4 plus a number of pubs run minibuses. Will be about 500 hardy souls with nothing better to do

Agree. Pat Rainford (North Wales Crusaders halfback) made a lazy tackle at Cornwall and had landed a 6 week (thats right, 6 weeks) suspension.....basically because he tried to get the player to his feet. Thats just extremely harsh
