Quote: dally messenger "at the kc, paul cooke first game for KR.
KR needed to win to avoid relegation'"
Was that the one when HKR thrashed Hull & the scoreboard went on the blink for some reason? I remember that game - it was a superb display of rugby from HKR & a great way for them to confirm their SL status. But if I remember right the poignancy of the Cooke factor was that it was his first game back at the KC Stadium after signing for Rovers rather than his first game (or derby) for HKR.
old faithfull, we roam the range together
old faithfull, in any kind of weather
when the round up days are over
and the boulevarde is full of clover
youll ole faithfull pall of mine
the saints / wigan derby has the benefit of 2 clubs who have been very succesful collectively over 20 years. both also having long stints at the top level (both being in division 1/ SL for ages)
the hull derby has FC having average top level form, with its best result being the CC final win.
KR have been in division one (ie NL1) for ages and only now are building into a decent SL side
when was the last time they played a really good derby game ? the CC final in the 80s
the Hull derby can only get better as the 2 clubs get stronger.
30596_1286642206.jpgIf there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Ooold Faithful, feck off home.
