Pryce straight in having just got off the plane seems wild to me, but needs must I guess; nothing to lose lol
only what Peter Stirling once did by mind you .............  If I remember he got MOM to When I was stood at Wakefield, two weeks ago, my mind drifted back to that afternoon in late '83 (as it always does every time I visit Belle Vue). I was behind the posts in 1983, where the new stand now resides. Sterling making his debut for us, Lewis for Wakefield! Like Wilf says, the pair of them barely off the plane before running out. Don't think I have ever been at a game where two players were so dominant in the minds of every single person in the crowd that afternoon. For everyone now under the age of about 55, it's difficult to put across how incredible it was to see those two players run out in darkest West Yorkshire that afternoon. They could have flown in from Mars, so astonishing it was to witness. Unquestionably two of the greatest players in RL history, they stand comparison with anyone you could care to mention. Probably a touch unfair on Pryce to compare him to Sterlo, but if he has anything like the same impact then we're onto a winner here. One thing's for sure, he will enter Fc folklore if he pulls out something special on Saturday afternoon, so no pressure on the lad then!!!! I was at that game which was amazing seeing sterling and lewis on the field together but i had thought it was a night match? May not have been, I was only 14 at the time

First mistake of the new regime… 18,000 Fans Clappers in the lower bowl tomorrow.
Hull and Rovers fans don’t need any of this nonsense to create an atmosphere.
Hate gimmicks like this .

May not have been, I was only 14 at the time Just looked it up and it was a Sunday but early December so was probably dark anyway. I only really remember seeing lewis throw out these long passes missing a couple of players out. That was back in the day when the seasons didn't align and fussiest would come 9ver for their off season and English players do the same down under I was there too. I remember Lewis throwing a 30 yard pass and the crowd were just transfixed. It never happened in those days. I’ve seen him play since and watched footage. He could play every position with aplomb.He's the best player I’ve ever seen. Not sure we can expect that impact from Pryce but feel he could make an impact

| as much as anything, pryce will give rovers something else to think about. He could tire quite badly due to the travelling so expect he won't play the full 80

Jake the Peg:
Was the trialist Kevin James?
Think it was Stuart Vass….swear blind Sterlo kicked over a regatherd and put Vass in at the corner and didn’t Steve Evan’s pick off a Lewis pass and go the full length?….i was there that day as well as a 18yr old….who would have thought that 1 yr later would be t  https://www.rlfans.com/0ebf9883-098f-43b0-9c73-0999bd4804e3" width="2613" height="1959"> he last time Rovers won owt

| 24hrs until kick-off! Can't decide whether I'm excited, nervous, dreading it, or a combination of all three!!!
We go in as underdogs, obviously, but not to the extent it's a done deal already. If this draw had come out last year I would have been praying for anything other than a massacre! But since the start of the year we've clearly gone some way towards levelling things up a touch.
Logically everything points to them having a bit too much firepower for us to handle, but then logically everything pointed to Wigan having the same a few weeks back, so the big question is can lightning strike twice for us with a second cup upset?
The longer we can stay in the contest, the more emboldened we will become and the more vociferous the crowd will be. If there's only a score in it on the hour mark, it will then become a case of who grabs the major chance when it falls their way. If we get blown away in the first 20-25 minutes, as we did in all three encounters last year, then they will canter home. I doubt there will be a repeat of the Wigan comeback this time.
Think it's either us narrowly (by 2) or them comfortably (by 18-20). We will know soon enough, just hope my nerves can stand up tomorrow! I hate these games, I really do!!!!!
