This game has the potential to be a record derby win in our favour or a loss. All about attitude from us and gentle's comment last night about us "owing them one" leads me to think we'll take the points. Don't really care about the score as long as we win

I agree. I'll take a last minute drop goal to win it.

But it would be great to give them a right good pasting!

and cost gravelnuts his job at the same time....we shall see.

This my fear, Sandycock is under a lot of pressure and if they lose to Wakey this will make him even more desperate for a Derby win.

I know this quote taken from HDM is regarding the game tomorrow but with what happened to Green last week it could be misinterpreted.

“Tim Smith seems to be pulling the strings so we need to make sure we do a good job on him."

If we score a couple of quick tries, then I feel we will be going for the record. We have the far better team and coach.

However, if Rovers score first, I feel it will be a real battle as it will knock our confidence and we will start throwing the ball around too much.

I think if we we stay cool and control the game we should be ok. We got away with our lack of composure in the first half at Warrington, we can't afford to let Hull KR sniff blood.

well given our magic weekend track record vs hkr i have no confidence in it being a spanking. like others have said id take a 1 point win. we have blown it too many times when weve expected to win, (like even the players expect a walk in the park). and it is a derby.
remember wembley 83, that was supposed to be a walkover but we didnt half come up short that day.
we also blew it last season when we had a good lead n not too much time left
playing with confidence is a positive,over confidence is a recipe for disaster and too many are being too bullish about this game.
i hope the players are keeping their feet on the ground

I only hope we get a descent ref that see both sides not one side only.If we do I can see Hull FC winning by a good score

Hopefully we will win, however I remember when Rovers first came up we all thought it would be an easy 8 points that season (we had 4 fixtures that season). Every season since they have proved that Derbies are always unpredictable.

Rovers have a knack of always raising the game for us, especially when Morgan was in charge.

I'm confident that we really seem to be hitting some form and our injury situation has improved. If we click on the we could win easily. However, no game is ever in the bag. Last Magic Weekend we were sitting very pretty around the 65 minute mark until Man of the Match Ganson and Hodgson saw them home.

Saying that Pete Gentle has got us playing some of our best rugby for a few years, so I'll back us to win and hopefully win well this time.

think this will be Rovers' grand final, so we need to keep our heads screwed on and feet on the ground, and go out expecting them to throw everything they possibly can at us for 80 minutes.

I can't believe the title of this thread . Just because we won last night and yes a very good win at that and a brilliant performance , it doesn't give us a right to just think we only have to turn up on Saturday . Derbys games are so hard call , and I can't see rovers just turning over . Yes we're playing well and have the better players but for people to be expecting a record score are a bit naive in my eyes . I'd be happy with a scrappy 2 point win .

This will be rovers' chance to turn their season around. If we're on our game we'll win no matter what they do but if we're off then they will probably take the points

well, considering Silverwood was going to give Warrington victory on Friday and, erm, didn't, maybe we should stop worrying about the referee and just play the team in front of us?

If Rovers raised their game and beat us on Saturday, I'd actually be vexed off if I was a Rovers fan. After some of the drivel they have served up over the last couple of months, i'd want to know why all of a sudden they can lift it for the derby!!
