Don't get your knickers in a twist, I'm merely saying it's not the end of the world and thankfully the Connor/Kelly partnership showed last year that they work well together. There are other players I would worry about not playing above Sneyd.

I was in women and childresn hospital yesterday and did see him, but it was during visiting time so not too sure if that's why he was there mind. I hope he's missing his kicking game is a good attribute to lose from a KR point of view

LOL twisting my melons man

Be interesting seeing Kelly face us and back at Craven Park.

Personally, I don't think we have much of a chance but as long as we're competitve and keep it close it should be entertaining. Plus, the East Stand might have a new song or two for you, especially if Lunt does take to the field.

Hate losing derbies (or any game really), but love the increased atmosphere DURING the game. Lets face it, thats what true fans of both teams enjoy the most.

Love the way that the Dobbins are down playing any chance they have.
Ignoring that we've lost one of the top props in Super League under a cloud. Lost our form player of the season so far. Lost our best second rower. And reading this, maybe lost our scrum half.
Added to the fact that we ain't been playing well all season.
Suppose it will enable them to give it even larger if they do win!

Tbf, when I thought some Hull fans were overconfident in 2012 I made a fun charity bet with a couple of them on here. And won.



You’ve finished top four and won the cup these last couple of years, while we’ve been getting relegated and playing in the Championship. That, rather who is in or out on either side, is why i’m not hugely optimistic. We’ll have a hell of a job on against Wigan too. Over 80 minutes funny things can happen, but right now Hull have a better team, and over 23 or 27 rounds that’ll likely be confirmed.

Really! You do know a lot don't you.

We have a better team than Salford who have been poor this year but they gave us a hammering 2 weeks ago. On the day anything can happen. I expect Hull to win, based on the things you've said, but I wouldn't particularly be TOO surprised by any result.

We’ve got a chance, certainly - there’s a gap in quality rather than a gulf.

It’ll be ‘interesting’ to see how we get on in contact, against both Hull and Wigan. We need to get results in those types of games occasionally - we can’t just rely on beating the weaker teams. Equally Hull can’t afford too many more slips.

I hope the weathers not like this tomorrow

You had to edit that and it was still a rubbish post.

If Rovers play like they did against an admittedly woeful Huddersfield team and we play like we have for most of the season Rovers are going to win.

Hopefully a confidence boosting victory will kick start our season like it did a couple of years ago.

I bet Albert gets a good reception!

Tough game for Wakey tonight. Will have taken an awful lot out of them. As you say,hopefully better conditions tomorrow and we may go into Mondays game the slightly fresher team.

I think you'll be up for tomorrow's game and we really haven't been that impressive this year, so the result is in the balance for me. We didn't even compete in the Salford game and we were patchy for large periods last week.
The interesting thing for me is the reactions on Monday. Wigan away is about as tough as it gets, and Wakey will be a stern test for us.

Think we will edge it by 4-6 points in a scrappy game but happy if we put 40 past them.
Need a win by whatever means and no matter how ugly. Catalans was a boost and players will be up for it as they should be but level heads are needed, better discipline and some composure.
I'd be very dissappointed if we lose against a significantly weaker KR team even given we're missing Houghton et al, it's not as if we are only fielding 12 men.

We'll still be ahead in the league so long as we don't lose by 24 points or more which would be more realistic it being the other way, Leeds and Warrington lose and we'd be back to 4th with a win.

Hope the weather holds out for everyone, as much for the playing spectacle.

Is it right that the last time we played each other in SL they were still able to sing "you'll never win at Wembley"?

Your right but I suppose we can change it to you'll never beat us at Wembley

Only because you wont get there again ...

Back of the net

Well the song will stay forever then

@g_westmorland
BREAKING: I understand that Danny McGuire and Shaun Lunt will NOT play for Hull KR in today’s derby against Hull FC. Both have not passed their fitness tests. Expecting Rovers to confirm team news within the next hour. #HullDerby

Going to be a tough afternoon. Again for me , it hinges on Kelly.
If he has his head on , we win . Let’s hope he has point to prove .

Who's going to referee if McGuire is missing?

Lets not beat around the bush.

Hull will win comfortably, Rovers already weak pack,decimated by injuries,will be steamrollered and Hull's half backs will have a field day.

Opportunity missed if you dont dramatically improve your points difference.

Genuine laugh out loud moment!
