or lose to salford

Just, not smashed out of sight by widnes

Yes but we are not a top 4 team like FC

You're right to be embarrassed to trot that out again.

Try and stay calm tonight kush
Don't want you calling everyone idiots again.

and dont forget to mention london were playing without Craig Gower that seems to have been overlooked

I'm confident of the win. Yesterday at London was a freak game in which the conditions where a leveller. It was frustrating but rovers will give us field position and even we will score via a short crash ball near the line. The only worry is our attack from deep.

I see a classic in the making, two very good sides going head to head.

we've got a comedian

Are you forgetting Hull smashed Cas 52-0 only a fortnight ago?. That gives me confidence that we can play attack minded and defend to.

i noticed the fantastic finisher alex brown didn`t finish anything again last night.a one match wander methinks.

You've got nothing to fear from us and vice versa

8th place shoot out for two poor sides

hope we don`t get the touch judge who doesn`t know what a 40/20 is when one like chases was disallowed.

Always have a chuckle about that particular TJ.
How old is he?
About 70?

Oh, and Tansey is still a t0sser, by the way!

This.

Are you 5?

So who will be our halfback combo on Friday is the big question. I think he'll go AH & Horne. Personally I'd put Whiting in there and play with three props Watts playing 13 and have AH on the bench as I think we really need to dominate them up front making Dobbo play off of the back foot whilst Whiting can get at Burns.

I'd be OK with Horne's partner being either Whiting or Westerman. Apparently Westerman has been doing some training in the halves so if I had to guess I'd say he would be picked there ahead of Whiting. I hope we don't try AH again as I don't think that works.

Yup, that's how I see it also.

Rovers to edge it I reckon. I cannot believe people who actually watched the 52-0 vs Castleford, are actually using it as a justification of points scoring. Cas must have gifted us 30 points, at least. Fine if Rovers make mistakes, we will punish them, if they don't, we will probably lose.

i know im looking forward to the saints v wigan game aswell

We need to sort our attack out. Defensively we're sound. The dobbins attack is rubbish. They let 22 points in from nowhere v cas, and let 20 go v Salford.

I don't see how we can lose this one; rovers are cr@p full-stop. Yes I know; it's Hull and it's a derby and all that but come on there should be nothing for us to be too concerned about here. Player for player apart from say dobson and patterson, this rovers side are the worst since coming up and if we lose we need bullwhipping.

I cant call this. If we go with Heremaia in the halves then i can see us getting beaten. He is so ineffective there its unbelieveable. Our defence is good on the whole, but I can imagine Dobson's kicking game will have us coming off our line time and time again, which fatigues you quicker. It then only takes 1 missed tackle and its try time for someone like Eden.

Eden is a liability. Just look back to last night. We need to suppress Dobson. Without him the wovers are nothing.

im sure u mean defence

and its not rubbish its not defence at all. its the 1st derby im struggling to get up for, the bragging rites this year will read were the slightly less awful side in hull. Sad really as i remember when our derby results usually had an effect on who would win a cup or win the league, Id love us both to be a top 4 team but i dont see it for either club
