He's an ever present but I've thought all season that he will be under threat should we have a big game, where every prop is available. Thinking back to the cup final, his minutes were extremely limited IIRC and it was just the same on Good Friday, so clearly others are trusted more. If Cooper were available I think he would miss out. Personally I would leave Dupree out, both due to a lack of form and to try and wake him up a bit but I think Walters will miss out and we'll see 3 props and Forber on the bench.


I am confident Walters will be in the 17. His work rate, particularly defensively, against Catalans was high. Come the big games we look to suffocate teams and, in my view, Mago doesn’t contribute much to that type of plan. I agree regarding Cooper he is a big miss, does anyone have any update on his fitness. It is a significant amount of time to be out of the frame and very worrying if he is still suffering the effects of his head injury.

I vaguely remember some new protocols that were put in place for this year regarding concussions - can't remember the details but something around players needing to sit out for two to three months if they have more than one concussion in a set time period.

All this crap about mikey lewis needing to be closely watched by the ref is a stupid comments by Peters. Great coach but lost a bit of respect after that. I seem to remember Peter Hiku showing a bit of attention to Fields in the CC semi final. It happens to most star player unfortunately get on with it

I'm more concerned with his ability to wind the opposition up, I think we can all agree our discipline leaves a fair bit to be desired this season, just don't bite whatever he gets up to.
Any cards now and you're running the risk of missing the play-offs.

Hull KR doing the talk then talk pre-match, whilst we quietly go about our business behind closed doors. Should be a good one.

M62 is to be closed on Friday so there will be very few Rovers fans

It's simply Willie Peters doing an Alex Ferguson style pressing of a ref. The hope will be that Lewis continues to get away with his antics and the refs focus on his targets. I see people liken him to Jake Connor but he's the polar opposite in terms of the result because unlike Connor, he is great at getting the decisions to go his way.

Wigan players need to be told to simply look through him when he starts and to get stuck in to him (legally) when he has the ball.

Absolute nightmare that motorway - over 2000 have already bought tickets so will be a very long trip back.
