Every game last couple of years been close, but Rovers have won all.

So Rovers by 8.

[Hopie]

Think Leeds need the 80 minute performance that the coach is working towards to win this, and probably not quite there, especially with our best player this year being so "inconsistent".

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

HKR by 10.

[Thunder Road]

KR by 3-4  scores.

Beyond my hopes, I managed to get a ticket to this (And a good one it is, too) If Leeds could put a few more points than Leigh managed earlier this season at Craven Park on the scoreboard, I'd be glad of the contest.

You in the West Stand? I had to buy a table in the restaurant in order to get my additional family members in (only the eldest lad has a membership), so even us regulars struggle to get seats in there.

I've got a funny feeling Leeds will click for this one. 

Leeds by 6.

I think Leeds are more than good enough to beat Rovers if they stick a full 80 minutes top performance on. Will be a really interesting match. 

[Wakey Til I Die]

Rovers will win but it will be their toughest Super League game in quite a while. 

[Josef K]

HKR by 10.

West Stand Block B, very close to Block C. Presumably a re-sold ticket for a seat usually taken by a season ticket holder. 

If trains behave themselves, will have enough time for a pint in that pub on Marfleet Lane and to queue for one of the better food options in the ground.

Can't see anything other than a Rovers win, but I can live in hope. Rovers by 12

[Harry Stottle]

Well I would want a Rovers win probably just as Leeds fans wanted a Wigan victory on Friday just to maintain the league position, alternatively I would like a Leeds win and for us to beat KR next Saturday to make the comp that much more interesting, if Rovers win both may as well present them with the hubcap now.

You call it the hubcap but its there to be to won like any cup/ trophy , there's plenty of teams would love to win it.

Off course plenty of teams would love to win it, I wasn't being derogatory calling it the hubcap it has been described as such for quite a while now as that term best describes its appearance.

[Gerrumonside ref]

A good test of both teams credentials as we start the business end of the season.

A few weeks ago Leeds looked nailed on for a home game in the playoffs and maybe more.

The wheels haven’t come off, but there’s definitely a squeaking noise that wasn’t there three weeks ago.

As Harry says, I imagine Leigh will look on with interest and there’s even a little bit of air now in the Saints balloon that we could edge a place in the top 4.

I still think Hull KR are the best team in the competition but winning when it matters is the test for them now. I.e, one off playoff games.

Top spot looking in grasp first.

Secret is not to be intimidated. 
 

Tight pitch with a packed tiny stadium, but if Leeds throw the ball about with plenty of second phase, they can comfortably trouble HKR. 
 

Still fancy the hosts though by a couple of scores.

The competition between Lewis and Connor to see who can wind up the opposition up the most should be interesting.

I imagine Connor will receive a very warm welcome. He was always very popular at Craven Park.

[Ullman]

Mourge will be ruing that.

[Harry Stottle]

Good challenge by Oledski, on that kick chase.

Good start from him. He's put in a couple of really good drives too.
