He's out for the derby apparently pulled his other hammy now...

Think someone`s pulling your ........

ok the exception of last year


but i did say we had some pretty good derby performances last year

Rovers are a poor team this year but they have won twice as many games as fc so far this season.

Apart from 42-6 I think that is a bit of a myth. When we won 5 from 6 over 2008-9, you were struggling generally. When you improved in 2010-11 so did your derby results.

Hard game to call, as they usually are. Your strengths and weaknesses are almost the exact reverse of ours. Experience and home advantage should help you. And our tendency to give away cheap ball. We'll need to play better than we have most of the season so far.

its ok comparing the cas games but on the other hand i could say we scored more points against widnes in 25 mins than you managed in other words its a pointless comparison

Because the only team to have scored more points in the competition so far is Wigan.


We did, but we had McGoldrick in the squad to force a dropout from a grubber kick, target Dobson for a try and put in a fine assist to Whiting. Any disrespect to London is a result of them being poor, as evidenced by their 12th place last year and 11th this, level on points with Widnes but having played a game more. Of course, we have only one point more, which is hugely disappointing.


The point of this thread is to talk about the upcoming game.



It's not a bravado/propaganda contest on here, it's about exchanging honest opinion.


They scored 8 tries and 42 points against London, with a 20-point winning margin. Pretty much in their favour.

You said I'd be doing everyone a favour if I stayed away. Pointing out that FC are at least fifty quid better off if I make the trip, so not everyone.

Which is a sad state of affairs considering the support both teams get.

Oh i know.....was just replying to the bean counter.

Great to see some people's confidence has gone through the roof after see us tonight. Conditions were dreadful tonight and rovers came away with the 2 points, they scored points because with let chase boss the game for 20 mins and they got some very fortuitous tries. I know it's a derby an it's 50/50 but I can't see where Hull even against a poor rovers defence where hulls points are gonna come from.

Gonna stick my neck on the line and say Fc will win by 10. Just a gut feeling. I also think even though it's cold weather, the atmosphere will be good with both sets of fans singing at each other.

Ok...so the upcoming game...the players need to put the effort in..Gentle has to employ dummy runners and run at Welham and Dobson,both cant tackle a salad,Use his bench better and have better options in the squad available.He also has to heep Heremia awat from 7 as this works as much as a 1 legged man in a kicking contest.Make sure we have the semblanse of a kicking game and this should see us home.

Hows that.
