HDM seem to think so, but even at full strength it's going to be damage limitation if you listen to the noise from the east, plucky losers is the best we can hope for. |

Our home ongoing bad home form is a big factor, too many people have been lured in for 'big' games over the last few years and then the team usually flop. People will only give it a go a few times before they just dont bother or just watch on TV. I hope we can turn this around on Saturday. |

This is rover's GF for sure. They're beyond excited as you'll see from their fans walking down Wembley way- Anlaby road.
A bit like Arro's march to raise cash which got spent in the pizza shops on 'road.
It's a massive match for them and a big one for us

| Quote: Seventies red "Hull certainly don't look GF finalists at the moment but I believe Hull KR have as good chance as any other in the top 4.
You say Wigan are a very poor side and yet they are 4th in the league (table doesn't lie) and have beaten Hull FC this season. Whereas Rovers have beat them on both occasions. (Home and away) Hull were also convincingly beaten by Catalan on both occasions this season whereas Rovers came within a whisker on both occasions of beating them, suffering defeats by just one point and two points respectively.
In my view Rovers have nothing to fear from any of those above them in the league, especially on home soil, and with a full or near full strengh side. You sound like someone that has a mouthful of sour grapes to chew on to be perfectly honest.
With regards to the forthcoming derby. This will be roughly somewhere between 80 and 100 derbies that I will have witnessed since been around the age 13 years old.
Long enough and with enough experience under my red and white belt for me to not predict with any certainty which way it will go. It really is on the day and who wants it the most when it comes to Derby's.
I sincerely hope it is Rovers that want it the most come Saturday at 3pm. I'm also certain that Fc fans will be hoping it is their side that want it the most on Saturday come 3pm..
I also believe it will be a tough encounter, especially in the opening quarter, with nothing left in the tank of every player of both clubs by the end of 80 minutes.
If Rovers play to their full potential and get their defence right on the day, I believe that their attacking flair will be more than enough to get the result they want. But as I say, it is a derby and simple things can make all the difference on the day. ![]()
You have no chance of the GF, the top 3 are much better than you and will step it up when it matters.
Never understood game comparisons, you lost it Wakey and hammered by Wakey, we didnt lose either of those, does that make us a better side this season than Rovers.

| Quote: mean_machine "I’m not sure who you are trying to kid saying this is rovers grand final. The noise coming out of Pearson, Taylor etc in the local rag and the sheer desperation shown indicates otherwise. I would go as far to say FC NEED to win, not only for playoff hope this year but subsequent ticket sales for next season and the imminent financial black hole.
Onto the game, I think it’s a tough call. Dependant on the teams named I think but it sure feels like we are now going through the injury problems you lot went through earlier in the year.
I think with abdull & quinlan missing we will struggle to fire in attack, as I don’t think our forwards can get on a massive roll against your monster pack. Hopefully SKD makes it as him vs tuimavave is a quality match up to be fair.
Parcell and litten could cause havoc against your middles like, we have to play quick and keep turning them round and making them defend. Give cheap ball away it could be a long day for us
I think FC’s desperation will shine through and you lot nick it by 6-10'"
Decent post, it is a must win for us, not really because it Rovers but can't fall further behind a play off rival.
I hope SKD plays, he won't be fit and Carlos has to class to cause him real problems.
50/50 game for me, if we have the most of the players back we will be strong on paper, but low of confidence, against Rovers who are playing good rugby with lots of confidence. |

He will be match fit unlike a few of yours coming back, could be blowing after a frantic start, and I think he can be jabbed and be ok for the period of the game with some support on the actual injury. Think the decision for rovers is do we risk him in this game and potentially cause further injury and then miss some winnable games such as Leigh and wakey. Or is it manageable for the rest of the year. He certainly played well when coming back on last week against hardaker so we can only hope.
Hearing Satae is out for you, I bloody hope so. What’s up with him? That would make it a genuine 50/50 game. Decent weather, good crowd, Z list celebrities pushing the game on social media. Good to be back eh!
Shame about Bastian, made great strides. Rumour one of the Wilson’s is coming over to us from you guys as well, although I must admit I’m not overly clued up on academy level. |

The club are doing a great effort to drum up interest on social media, but sadly it's looking like the West Upper wasn't needed after all.
Take your pick if it is Covid, the state of SL in general, our home form and/or August peak holiday season that is keeping a few thousand away. Best we can do is deliver the performance of the season to get them back in for Cas the week after
