Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Got to play the strongest team for me unless anyone carrying a knock - think I saw a report that byrne was - argubably needs dropping anyway

The league table is very very tight and I can see 2nd place possible being decided by points difference

We really have to take the opportunity to go out to score as many as we can this weekend given hull krs team and we have a weeks rest next week

Fully agree with team.

Thirteen HKR changes!

Hull KR’s 21-man squad



Ethan Ryan, who Tom Opacic, Shaun Kenny-Dowall, Matt Parcell, George King, Kane Linnett, Elliot Minchella, Jez Litten, Rhys Kennedy, James Batchelor, Mikey Lewis, Sam Luckley and Brad Schneider all drop out of the 21-man squad this week.

All the changes mean Academy products Lennie Ellis, Leo Tennison and Louix Gorman are set for their Hull KR debuts, while it’s first time inclusions for Harvey Horne, Harvey Reynolds and Owen Maull in the 21-man squad.

New loan signings César Rougé, Isaac Shaw and Luke Thomas are also included.

Dean Hadley returns after missing the last two games through HIA protocols and is set to captain the Robins on Friday night.

Phoenix Laulu-Togaga’e, Zach Fishwick, Connor Barley and Corey Hall all come in to the 21-man squad as well.

Personally i dont see the issue with Hull KR putting out a crap team, when was the last time they won a trophy? when is the next chance they will get after this? when are they likely if they get to a final likely to not play another seasoned trophy winning team?

Is any of that worth competing for 2 points in a meaningless season?
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure

One thing we need to realise is every single player playing for Hull will be playing their hearts out in the hope that a huge performance against us will give them a chance to play at Wembley. Especially in the forwards

I'm sure Leigh will be doing something similar, especially as their trip to Leeds is 2 days later than KR come to us

That is totally beside the point! It’s disrespectful to the opposing team! And I would feel the same whoever their SL opponents were.

Leigh haven’t won anything either & they don’t have a big enough squad to make wholesale changes like that.

Just disgraceful IMO 🤬
