Yes

Maybe compare was a bad word to use, but we was talking about using Lauaki and someone to target as he gives away many pens/errors, i still would agree to target him as from what ive seen (which isnt much) he seems to be unable to control his aggresion at times ; and id pressure him to see what reaction we get.
But id say they have a weaker target in Welham then we do in Lauaki.

Dobbo will be targeted his defence is pants..

Missed tackles... 18

errors.... 5

Lets be honest, both teams look poor defending out wide at the mo! Yeaman was awful and how on earth did Broughton get in for either of his try's?

Tight game I reckon just like the two last year, a try in it.

are you ignoring my question?

Silly little spat i know but I'm sure you never commented back on why you would comparing a forwards missed tackles to centres.

Welham is getting himself into some bad positions and its leading to mistakes, I'm not sure of how many of the penalties he has given away are down to dissent?

Will FC be able to get the ball out wide though to get at Welham, well apart from a kick that is

this question.

This answer?

Im not feeling confident about this one, I think itll be a close game but with home advantage you might just nick it. The defeat to Salford will be hurting the hull players, and I expect a good response from them but I dont know if itll be enough, Rovers by 6.

Even if i did why does it bother you??

I've forgot more about this game than you'll ever know.

Two nervous teams, in derby conditions, both out of form, with bad weather forecast - its very doubtful that its going to be a classic, I can see a very scrappy game in store.

Not sure of the actual stats on this but I would have thought the fact he's played a lot more minutes than Lauiki would be some sort of indicator.

Is it just me or is the upcomign derby game atmosphere a bit subdued at present? I for one am not buzzing about it as i normally am (hmm could be a good omen that considering our recent results)
Both teams looking to bounce back after dissapointing results at the weekend, should be a cracking game.

It is fear. Two fair to middling SL teams who have shown they are capable of playing appallingly.
Depending on the first 15-20 minutes, I can see us getting downhearted and putting in a tepid display or Hull getting frustrated and having an error ridden performance, possibly with 12 men for spells.

We've started the recent derby games at a franetic pace but I can't see that happening this time.

We are just not playing well enough at the minute and whilst watching Hull on saturday gave me cause for optimism we certainly extinguished that optimism 2 hours later.

Controlling Berrigan out of dummy half is the key for me

He will need to play his best game of the season to cause us any real trouble, still just cruising through games for me(not saying he cant step it up like)

I think keeping the S/R forwards quiet will be key for me and obviously Horne if he carries on in the form he has been showing.

Rovers will certainly have to tighten up around the ruck this week. The way Cats broke them up in that area was embarrassing at times. In fact two of their tries came directly as a result of slack marking around the ruck.

Give Berrigan the same kind of room and he'll kill Rovers.

Saints and Hudds he was fantastic but he hasn't done much since.

Berro has looked better away from the ruck when houghton has come on in the last couple of weeks.

Bertie, old bean,
As my comment was tongue in cheek,I will take your reply the same way.

10/10 BB.

Pity others didn't figure

Anyone think we are likely to bring back Watts?

Go with either Lovegrove or Vella into the S/R. to add a bit more size to the pack?

Swap Murrell and Galea or go with I'Anson?

And who replaces Colbon? A big shift in positions or go with Cockayne?
