Hamlin still out of favour

Im expecting a big win this time, hopefully

Can never understand bringing a player over and never playing him does he still effect the Salery cap?

Powell to hooker with Woods to half back.
Anyone carrying the slightest knock should be stood down for next week.
Play anything like at Newcastle and we should win well.

At this stage, a win of any kind is all we need. i would be astonished if we put on a show, when the week after is so important. Indeed, even a loss would be ok, given how well placed we are in the league just now.
Am hoping/trusting that Lockers will be fit and firing for the Cup game.

I never expect a win always hope for one but let’s be brutally honest here KR are a very poor side carrying a few injuries too they should keep this run going even allowing a run out for Woods and Ganson.

Im sure we could rest another forward,play hamlin and still win comfortably....... perfect chance too try a few pkayers given there very understrength team

16-8 to hull kr, Wigan struggling in this 2nd half, Kr just running harder and more committed, hopefully we can turn it around but doesn't look good at the min.
