Turning the tide: Hull KR coach Craig Sandercock
Although they have just one win from four games so far, KR don't need to improve their attack, which is averaging 30.5 points a match.
However, Sandercock still knows there is a lot to work on.

"The focus this week has been on improving all areas of our game," he said. "The players want to work hard and be competitive this weekend.
"Warrington are a class side and they have been the benchmark for the last few years in Super League.
"They have taken their time to build a good side and they are reaping the benefits at this moment in time."
Sandercock was impressed with the way Hull FC contained Warrington's star-studded side last week at the KC Stadium, even though the Wolves eventually found a way to win.
"It's up to us to try and limit their try-scoring opportunities," Sandercock said.
"The key to stopping them from getting on a roll is not to give them too many repeat sets.
"If you have momentum, you roll with it. If you don't have it, you have to hang in, do your best and scramble well, work hard for each other and wait for the tide to turn.
"And when we do have the ball, we have to make the most of it.
"We need to take every opportunity we get."

"We will beat Warrington by 20+.
Same level of high intensity is needed that brought us so close to an historic win over a superb Salford City Reds side."
Great stuff Mike, couldn't agree more. The Duller fans must be overjoyed by the fantastic performance of their team at Widnes tonight. They made the lucky bas*ards look second best despite the difference in points.
Keep 'em coming, most of us do not seem to have your deep understanding of such matters.
See you in the East Stand bar tomorrow buddy.

“London Broncos must be a hell of a side given their thrashing of the team that beat Rovers last night. And Broncos must either take more than the Red Army which supposedly follow Rovers to every game, or are a bigger attraction for the Salford fans as there were 400 more there last night.”

“Exciting? Your'e leaking tries and your winger daren't cross a white line. Your forwards get bossed every game and Paterson goes missing!
If thats exciting, you're easily pleased. Nothings changed since last season, you took up where you left off with losses. Last nights Salford game showed how poor your attack AND defence are. london scored more and conceded a few points.
Sandercocks whiny comments echo Agars when we were losing weekly.
He's doing an awesome job with the kids tho. Salter has got worse!”

“An Improved performance is what is needed, a win would be a bonus.i still think C.S has done a decent job with what he has had to put up with since his arrival.Most Rovers fans on here new we would be aiming around the 8th spot nothing has changed we are only 4 games in.
The team is far more exciting than previous seasons,although i do believe we need a bit more aggression in our pack.I think a big bonus is the young age of our team,its great to see these young lads and hopefully they can stick together and progress in future seasons.
Hopefully the mistakes at the beginning of the season arent repeated and all the players improve for the back end of the season when it really all matters.One thought if we can get our best 17 out on the pitch in a one off game like Cup matches we could surprise alot of people”
