Quote: Roofs "It used to bug me when some Hull fans would label the derby as just another game, but I can understand that now. The greed of the two clubs (pre-season friendly) and RFL (Magic) has led to huge overkill, to the point where the derbies now mean very little IMO. Consequently I'm not worried at the fact I'm missing this due to work, but fair play to those going.
Scrapping the friendly, and changing the Magic fixtures (if they insist on keeping the concept) would repair a bit of the overkill damage IMO.'"
It wouldn't be overkill if both teams were actually playing good rugby and challenging things. There's no satisfaction in being the better of 2 below average teams. Couldn't give a monkey's if rovers finish higher or beat us. Just another 2 points for me
