much as everyone has pointed to the forwards i think the key is the half back battle. this is the first time we have faced them AD (after dobson). at the moment burns is playing well and calling nearly all the shots (and some would believe, taking the training as well). keating has been a slow starter but has shown signs of more consistent performances in recent games. this will be the third game in a row we have gone in with settled half backs (surely some kind of recent record), and both got across the whitewash last time out. it will be a case of our young pair up against much more experience. wonder if miller will get into burns face as successfully as he did last time out?

or will radford be tempted to revert to horne if fit for the experience factor?

Cant see Keating playing, went off injured on Friday, will be burns and hall at 6 & 7

Dont you just love derby week

Indeed. I understand there's a chance McDonnell might not make it?

50/50 I think

Haha

Hard to call this one. Both sides are coming into this off big wins last week which should make them confident. If we can win the forward battle and keep our errors down like last Thursday then I think we will win.

That said, we've yet to get back to back wins this season. Would love to change that this week but it's something that does worry me.

Heart says Hull but head is saying Rovers.

Fc by 8.
Maybe more depending on KR's injury list.

No charges brought against anyone from either side this week so no one will be missing through suspension as far as I am aware.

Getting ridiculous that we are having to check the RFL site every week to see if any of our players are been called up before the disciplinary.

On that subject, Grix has been cited with a Grade A offence. Rightly so too.

Has Brough got off Scott free ?
