for me, the timing is perfect. with a good win under our belt in the league and just 2 more game before Wembley, this is the perfect tonic and distraction. if we focus on this game, put in a long over due performance against the chavs and our road to the final is shaping up nicely.

this will be a real tough game. id imagine that rovers will feel like they owe us one for the magic game plus they'll be bitter about our CC run. and thats not even taking into account the massive implications on league positions. massive, massive game for both teams

What's a 3rd Darby? I know of 2 (Duane Darby played for City) and a Darby and Joan Club in Finkle St Cottingham.

Oh great, it's derby week on RLFans.

Cant really muster much enthusiasm to be honest.I'd sooner lose with no injuries than win and pick up injuries to key players.

Can one of the mods please change the thread name? We look like a right set of retards referring to the derby as a darby. Is that even a word?

I'll change it when I get back to my computer...

Yes. Here is the wicktionary definition.

A specialized tool used to finish concrete slabs. A stiff, wooden or metal wedge or triangle, it is used to smooth and level the surface of wet concrete.

HTH

Not the right spelling but what about Terence trent ?

Am I the only one who really is not bothered about this derby? I know KR will really want to beat us. I just want to come through the game with no injuries.

Maybe we will be 60 points up after 60 mins and we can rest a few again

Well I'm bothered, challenge cup final or not, we need to be winning this game, we could still finish 5th.

Home play off is a must for me.

I personally really hope we beat them, a win would take us level on points with Rovers & depending on results possibly above Saints. Looking at the fixtured KR seem to have an easier end to the season then us so any points gained on those above us will definitely do us good.

Don't get me wrong I want to beat them. But I just don't seem as excited and nervous as I usually am for a derby. I think its because I'm too excited for Wembley.

not that bothered about it tbh. as others have said i'm more concerned with staying injury free for wembley.
i'd be tempted to field 2nd string pivots in case our red neighbours want to scupper our chances with rough house tactics in a fit of jealousy.
