Don't get you there.

I like to see a bit of biff at the derby so that means Im desperate for a brawl and I'm not interested in the rugby? A bit of aggro brings something extra to the game IMO. Gets the players and the crowd fired up and adds to the spectacle.

Got to admit I do enjoy a bit of biff....get the old adrenalin running

There should always be a bit of biff, especially in derbies.

Nothing worng with a bit of Bith in a derby match, but if our disapline doesnt improve it will be another defeat for Hull.

Need to close down Dobson on the kick plays, especially near the line. Someone should tw*t him early doors to let him know they are there!

If it takes that to get them fired up for the derby then they're playing in the wrong City. I've yet to see a derby won by the team that loses its cool first, hopefully it will go off a bit, Lauiki could end up being our man of the match if that happens.

you're not wrong.

I hope to see a bit of biff but ultimately i hope to see us play some decent attacking rugby and put 50 points on you.

He needs a fair big hit on and we must target him in defence, to tire he out, to be fair he hasnt been great in Derby matchs that has been Paul Cooke, I am very gald he isnt playing this week against us, if he was playing I wouldn't fancy us to win at all.

Dobson is deadly near the line with kicks so if we can give them little time near our line, we wont be as effective, they look like they might have no wingers either so we must do the same to them, even if Fox is playing he isnt great at dealing with kicks so he must be tested.

Exactly right I'm sure Newton has Long marked again.

I'd hope Agar will run our big men at Dobson. Theyll have success running over him and also tire him out for when he attacks. Doubt we are that clever though.

Plenty of weaknesses in both teams, wonder which coach will use the best tactics to exploit them, I am pretty sure that I know the answer.

and then tw*t Newton

I have no doubt that this will be fierce to say the least, glad cooke isnt playing though was getting sick of his prescence in derbies

So do i. All i'll say is i'm glad i can turn the TV off if it starts to go their way!!

Nice article on him in the HDM today. He reckons he has the easiest job on the pitch and talked himself into playing on the basis of getting a week off. I'd hope some of the others would be shamed into matching his efforts - great signing: www.sporthull.co.uk/hullfc/news/ ... ticle.html

Mark's lad Jake is impressing at West Hull 10's too!

Very close between, Mark, Criag, Richard and Wills up to yet however were only half way..
Omeley really playing through the pain barrier , true warrior

O'Meeley's ribs are absolutely battered, he has had to play with injections yet he refuses to take a week off and always turns up ready to play. What a signing, an absolute warrior and my player of the season so far.


Take a bow son!!

I completely agree, my poty also.
But we need to be careful about his ribs, he certainly can't play with injections for the rest of the year. We need him toward the end of the year as close to 100% as possible, how long he needs to recover and how it's managed is going to be critical. Without him we're just not going to be the same team.

Think he will get a rest at some stage but whilst the injuries are around he keeps putting his hand up and everytime it looks like he will miss a week he surprises everyone.

The next CC game is soon so that will be another weekend off.

Agree and some posters, said before he came, he's done nothing for 2 years.

Green and gold jumpers dont grow on trees!!

But is the odd weekend off here and there going to do it? Does he need 3-4 weeks? Nobody knows, but rib injuries are pesky little buggers to get rid of and I don't want him causing any lasting damage that could hamper him for the next 2 years of his deal.
I'm probably being OTT, but without him, even with all the talk of our "big" pack I just don't think we would be the same without him.

Great pre-match quip from Ogre

" I cant wait to get to France, to get away from the wife for a bit"

The other week on radio someone won a competition for a voucher for £20 and he said something like ' well done mate oh and they are doubling to to £40', which was news to Hull



A great character.
