FRIDAYS DERBY WILL NOT BE EASY AND IF WE TURN UP WITH ANYTHING SHORT OF 100% COMMITMENT FROM THE PLAYERS (AND THE FANS FOR THAT MATTER) WE WILL LOSE. THE EVENTS OF TODAY MEAN NOTHING.

HULL HAVE UNDERESTIMATED US IN RECENT YEARS TO THEIR DOWNFALL - WE SHOULD NOT RETURN THE FAVOUR.

COME ON YOU REDS!

Totally agree mate.

Big chance to put a big score on them but only if the players give 100%.

COME ON YOU REDS

Our commitment will be nothing short of 100%
Look what happenned last derby at KC we were red hot favourites and took a beating.
Play like we know we can we should all go home happy

Bring it on

Warrington beat us quite cosy after being awful all season.
Its still too close to call this one despite Hull being poor of late.
Rovers need to stick to the game plan and not get sucked into a forwards battle

I'm sure Morgan will have the players switched on to the derby. No club in this league can be taken lightly, and Hull are no exception to that.

All todays result means to Rovers is that Hull will be even harder to beat on friday. They will be stung by todays embarrasment and come out breathing fire early doors next week. If we let them get on top in the early exchanges their confidence will grow and it could be a difficult afternoon.

Stop Manu - Stop Hull.

i think whoever gets the best start could win this, we need to go at them hard from the start and get on top quickly. they will be hurting and looking to bounce back so Rovers need to be wary of that.

As much as I enjoyed Salford's win today, and believe me, I REALLY enjoyed it









I did think to myself (after the hooter went) that it will make next week harder on us. Saying that, if Rovers come with the right attitude from start to Finnish, I think we will still win

I know what you mean but I would rather go into a derby with a winning mentality

They are going to Finland?

Well, after this weekend I think most Black and Whites will be pretty low on confidence, so make hay while the sun shines. If we win on Friday we can rub it in even more and if we lose, we've still had all this week to gloat, prior to them taking over on Friday, which they will if they win, that's for sure.

They are gonna get battered!



Ben Cockayne hat trick anyone?

The Jackal has already received his instructions

It will be a great game i cant wait,i just feel we will have to much pace and power all over the pitch and will win by 16 points. High kicks to Hall and Calderwood the order of the day

We should win, wether we do win depends on the attitude of the players, and that, Warrington apart, has been excellent all season.

Ideally we need a red hot day, they already have a big wide pitch, and with the kicking of Dobson and Cooke, i reckon they'll tire more easily than they have tended to recently.

Thanks to Mr Duffen we already have the advantage of an extra couple of days rest. Thanks to Kath we have Dobson and thanks to Fc's board they have Agar as coach. Lets make these advantages count.

But then again its a derby and anything can happen.

not as much as we enjoyed you lot getting beat by warrington

Somehow, I find that very hard to believe. We have played both Warrington & Salford this season and the latter are easily the worst SL side of the last 3 seasons.

Difference is we are still in Super League whereas you have left the cup at your first hurdle.

Could'nt agree more, a derby win never has and never will be a forgone conclusion for either team, regardless of current form.
If i had recieved a fiver for every time the unexpected has happened in past derbies, i could have taken early retirement. Derbies have always been about the team on the day that has the right attitude, the greatest desire and of course the rub of the green.
Hull will be smarting after yesterday and after a rollicking will be fired up for this game, we must be equal to the task, make sure we have the right attitude and produce a proffesional clinical display, anything less and we could see Hull walk away with the bragging rights.

Come on you reds!!! lets

Somehow I find that hard to believe, we loose one Superleague game away from home and don’t get the two points. You go out of the cup to a team at home who we comfortably beat the week before and consequently now only have one chance of Silverware this season which lets be honest your really going to struggle to win!

Well as much as I was disappointed with the Warrington result, you once again miss the point and more than a little intelligence



Just for you I'll explain, so your one brain cell doesn't have to work overtime.

You were dumped from the Challenge cup by a side who are playing tosh and must be very low on confidence, and by your reckoning, you had more of a laugh with our loss against Warrington?








Yes granted Warrington have not had the best start, but the have quality players all over the field! You can not say the same about Salford.

HTH

The scary thing is they out-played us in every department. Rovers by at least 20 on Friday.

Salford must have improved from the week before though as they were really poor, and I’m not trying to have a dig there but they simply must have. As your coach said on the radio before the match, the challenge cup can be a nice distraction for a club performing like Salford are and like you were last year in the league.

That would be the year we finished 7th then

I don’t quite understand?

I’m simply saying Salford must have improved since they played us as quite frankly they were shocking at Craven Park. Salford will see the Challenge cup as a welcome distraction from Superleague as did FC last year.
