SHould be an even game. I fear the worst though myself. Today was an utter embarrassment.

It'll be 0-0, we're both sh*te!!

I'll take a draw now !!

Anybody prepared to put their mortgage on the result?
There will be fireworks,no doubt about that at least.

I think either we'll edge a thriller or Hull will win at a canter. Hope it's the first.

Both sides have been pretty inconsistent so far this year so it's a really tough one to call. It'll come down to whichever side is willing put the most effort into the game IMO, in which case on past form it's a Rovers win.

FC..by 16

You're a more optimistic person than I.

Both teams will be fired up and hitting their straps after suffering losses...FC have the edge on recent performances imo

However not with recent derby performances IMO, we always seem to get out enthused.

Lot of changes to FC this year, and a few changes to KR, Cookie has always spanked us in the Derby, KR will miss him on Friday.

But perhaps not the key one?


I do think you're right though in that Cooke not playing will be a big plus for us as he always had a stormer.

Only bothers one half then goes missing...



Do look forward to him try to stop Hame, his defence is pants

We just need to sledge/niggle him and he will give us more metres than he will give you

You may be right



Depends which head he has on..we can never tell

His St Helens head or the one he has worn in every match since you mean.

Anyway according to your own board he is only a project anyway....and we now how the last project ended up.

im looking forward to the derby, gonna be a tough old game thats for sure.

He is no project..he has the capability to be devastating every game..he needs to channel his aggression...he is a very strong aggressive player..as I have posted on our board he is capable of winning or losing games at the moment..I believe he will settle and I am more than happy with the signing...for entertainment value if nothing else

Think your mixing up your tongans, tis Sam Moa that is the project. Hame is tried and tested internationally and within the NRL.

When was the last time a Derby was played with snow on the ground?. The Reagal Trophy Final in 1985 IIRC. news.bbc.co.uk/weather/forecast/ ... gion=world

There is already a Luaki thread on your own board, opinions range from big and very daft through to tempreament problems.

You choose.

IMO if both teams play anything like i can't see beyond a Hull victory.

Get Webster running at Long. Test their wings out under kicks. Keep disciplined. They get on the front foot, it'll be hard to turn it round. Put them under pressure, I think they might panic.
Play the occasionally Maligned Morgan Way.

Sounds simple enough...
