I bumped into Mini on Sunday morning and he said he'd be fit for the Derby

I think Ellis will be too, he seemed to get through the Wakey game ok so hoping leaving him out yesterday was just precautionary

If we lose by more than 29 points they should all pack it in.

KR are not that good?

Close defeat IMO. Hope I'm wrong.

I'll take a draw

Their pack is poor. Ours will kill it. Obliterate Kelly and they're headless chickens.

Maths isn't my strongest point, you might have noticed!

Either way, we are 2 very similar teams with weaknesses. As others have said, shut Kelly down and they struggle.

Even if we beat you, it won't be by 29 points so you should remain above us. We would then need to beat Saints away and rely on you losing your last game. Saints will want the two points as the top 8 carry the points forward to the super 8's.

I see us finishing 9th, one place behind you.

Agreed.

Any tickets available ?

Think if Rovers win it will be down to Saints and Wigan to see who puts the most points past each team. Although sneaky feeling we might get something from the Wigan game

With the short turnaround, Rovers will be slight favourites as by all accounts they stopped playing at half time yesterday.

Fancy a Hull victory on Friday night. Instead of looking over our shoulder at ninth place, I hope we go for it and start aiming for higher in the league. Finishing eighth should not be seen as a success.

Sorry if my positivity offends any one, but I never did expect us to lose these last three regular league games and see no reason why we shouldn't make it three wins on the spin on Friday.

If mini and ellis are fit and we back up yesterday with the same commitment and enthusiasm we'll win I reckon. Stop kelly (easier said than done) and we'll definitely win. If paea loses his appeal I expect ellis to move to prop with whiting keeping his place, hadley missing out and bowden to the bench (or maybe start with bowden and ellis off the bench)

Plenty.
