i hope so he's shocking.

I'm hoping that game took allot out of the players and may give us some extra advantage.

We got Brett why on earth would we want him back

that will be great for the hull kr fans who want to bait the black and white fans

Doubt it.

We owe Hull one for the defeat at the Galpharm early in the season. That was when they were liking Chris Thorman and telling us that we had no quality in the backs

Looking forward to this game, I hope you bring a few over with you as away support has been awful at the KC this season, as usual. It would be nice to see some away fans in the north stand for a change

rlSome Hull Fansrl are confident going into Fridays match...

Good. Let them be confident and write us off. The rest of the Rugby League world seem to be doing so anyway! Listening to Radio Leeds on the way home yesterday and the old chestnut (paraphrasing) "Huddersfield have quietly snuck up on the Rhinos", "they go about their business quietly" - translation: They're not Leeds, Bradford, Wigan or Saints so we don't pay them any attention. The media are poor really in their coverage of us, we really aren't on their radar at all. To be honest though, it suits me fine as it keeps the pressure and expectation off the lads and means success shouldn't go to their heads either. Not that I think that would be a problem because they all seem very grounded to me.

Sorry for going a bit off topic!

I will be very dissapointed if we lose on Friday personally.

As for the meeja coverage, I agree it has been very noticable in its lack of praise.

Any other team and it would be belted out how this team or that team were doing brilliantly to be pushing for 2nd spot and going to a cup semi. but no, we remain "workmanlike" with no "flair players"

Yeah, 3rd best attack, and best defence is "workmanlike"

When you consider how everyone was spunking their praise for the Catalayon Dragons this time last year, the contrast is pretty stark.

I really do the prefer that fact we are not getting much publicity. If you are in the media all the time getting hyped up then you are setting yourself up for a big fall. Why do we need journalists and other sets of fans to praise the Giants. As long as our own fans appeciate the teams performances then who's bothered about anyone else.

rlThe Expertsrl never predicted us doing well this season - why would they want to come out and apologise. Instead they complain about Nathan Brown not attending the post match interviews.

I also like it in the respect that we are more likely to be underestimated by the opposition, but on the other hand the media attention would be likely to help put bums on seats.

Some Hull Fans are barking mad
