For me it's a game we can't lose really. Win and we will take over our own mantle of the biggest upset of the season so far, lose, with a bucket full of injuries playing the form team of the Comp so far and its totally expected by everyone including us lot. 

You’re a little ray of sunshine, are you new to the forum? I’ve only read 2 posts from you and they’re almost the same. It’s one thing to appear realistic but another to be over critical. One thing FC have shown this season is they’re in it to win it. 

I know he is a young lad but i just cant see anything in his play to say he will be a regular S/L player at full back as its only due to injuries that he is currently in the team and his lack of size and weight will always be an achilles heel.Maybe his future will be as a running nine.Rapana has to return to full back which leaves the problem of who to play at six.
I am leaning to play Asiata at 6 so we can accomodate another forward at 13
If we can keep them out in the first 15 minutes and pressure them with the possession we have and vary our last tackle kicks we just might give them a game but can see Tom Davies primed to pick off one or two of Sezers long passes trying to find Louis Martin

Rapana's haš been making a couple of errors per game so far also. 

I  think we have to have Hardraker at centre against Hiku.

With Leigh's defeat last night, next Saturday will see the current top two in SL go head to head. I reckon the last time the pair of us stepped out as 1st & 2nd was Good Friday 1984? Unless any of the old heads can recall such an occasion over the past 41 years!!? 


Good Friday 1984 at old Craven Park (Holderness road next to the bus depot!!), and the infamous Len Casey sending off after Fred Ah Khoi baited him once too often and Casey bit, but it was the aftermath of the sending off that caused all the subsequent kerfuffle!!!
Seem to recall those of us stood at the old greyhound scoreboard end going mental as the linesman fell over!!! 
We ended up running away with game, winning comfortably by the end, although it wasn't enough to stop them from taking the League title crown we had won twelve months previous.


Fairly sure that was the last time we faced off as 1&2 at the top of the league.

Not only the first challenge cup Derby since 86, but also a top of table clash.


Should be a cracker.

I'm happy that we're being wrote off. I think we have players in there that will be bouncing for that challenge.

We have Asiata, Sezer and Martin. They were the ones that ripped Wigan to pieces in the last round.


We have big Herman in top quality form. I assume we'll be bringing the quality of Hardaker back in. A challenge cup legend (particularly against Rovers) in Tom Briscoe.


We've still got some good tools to work with 

thats what Keir Starmer said about his cabinet
