Defo need to go clap him on and off

We have our strongest team for years and fans are not confident of beating HKR.
Even without Mao,Ellis and Kelly we still should be putting 30 points on Rovers.
Last week we were disciplined,kept the penalty count low,few errors and the completion rate was high.
Thats what we need again.
My only concern tonight is bringing back Danny Houghton when Johnstone did so well at leeds.
Our play the ball at acting half with Johnstone was much quicker and his passing was faster and more accurate than Houghton.
I know he is club captain but he still should have a reserve run out like everyone else when he has not played a competitive game all pre season.

A63 West from Ice Arena to Ferriby been closed recently from 8pm. Not sure if this is the case this evening?

If we play to our potential we will win, however we've had a nasty habit in recent years of losing games we should win. Look at 2019 - we lost at home to Huddersfield, Wakefield, Salford and Catalans.

Think they’ll throw everything at us early on. Hopefully it doesn’t knock us too much. Don’t think it’ll be the mullering some are predicting either way.

Through the annals of time, this particular fixture is proven to be so unpredictable, having seen teams from either side of the river come unstuck with a favourites tag, or an underdog tag, as I said earlier, with a large gulp, a Hull win for me.

Some of you will be saying derbies are unpredictable just to cover yourselves but in all honesty you will win by at least 30 , i am really impressed with the squad that has been put together .

34-12 I think after a close 55 mins , our class and power will tell .

yes but even without Mao,Ellis and Kelly this is our strongest team and squad for years.
Last years squad included players who were well passed their better years.
I know its a Derby but to have fans on here not confident of beating this current HKR team thats what i dont understand.
They as usual will start fast and probably score first but we have too much power in the team.
Just hope Danny Houghton doesnt give too many penalties away as in the Leeds game our discipline was good

no, we are saying (on both sides of the river) that Hull FC v Hull KR is an unpredictable game, always has and will be.

On paper Hull FC win by a decent margin, but on paper St Helens would demolish Hull in the CC Semi Final of 2005, but they didn't.

I just hope for a decent game.

Rovers are targeting this game like no other in recent years
They beat us twice last year, without the likes of SKD
You are on record I think as saying Smith is the better coach
We are without 3 key players
We have form in underperforming in an overhyped home game
I have read that we are a dull side with size but no skill, our backs turn like oil tankers, we have no plan B after Sneyd's kick to the corner, they have better backs, Fonua and Houghton are unfit, Connor not a 6,short of a prop, clueless coach and arrogant fans. I mean, what could go wrong?
