Indeed, I wonder if Hudgell thought it was a criticism when the Customs House website read Accounts:Made up in Full |

And only someone stupid enough to believe a username is always related to a posters profession would be daft enough to post that. |

Form counts for nothing in a derby, I expect a good game we should edge it imo, however our away form is not our best attribute at the moment, all the ingredients for a cracker hopefully. |

Is this like when Bobbin' Along said I couldn't have enjoyed the Wembley cup final in 2008? I don't need you to tell me what I do and don't expect, thanks. Feel free to point out which items on my list of evidence that points to a handsome Rovers win are false BTW. |

What am I making my mind up about, the two points have no relevance to one another. Having the 13 hardest players on the pitch won't be good enough to win any game i'd suggest

None of them point to a handsome Rovers win though.
7 out of 10 wins means we'll win this one?
Home advantage means we'll win this one?
We've beaten Leeds who you haven't played yet and Saints who you ruthlessly put to the sword on their own muck
Our packs leightweight remember so you've got nothing to worry about there even if your players have a few miles on their clocks

So they are all true, then. Collectively they are quite compelling IMO.
Quote: MrPhilb "7 out of 10 wins means we'll win this one?'"
Pretty good track record, you must admit. Got the same coaches as last season, haven't we? You have the best scrum half in the city, remember. The Albert Goldthorpe medal winner, no less. It's utterly hopeless.

Well, it's not a disadvantage, is it?
Quote: MrPhilb "We've beaten Leeds who you haven't played yet and Saints who you ruthlessly put to the sword on their own muck'"
We've been smashed by Wigan and beaten by the newbies that finished bottom.

You've got Moobs Clinton now and the Dream Team back row. Give your head a bang. Plus Zod has already disproved the urban myth of the "lightweight" pack, and the pitch might have hardened up a bit by then. Very important that for Rovers. 
Why all this undercalling of Rovers chances in a home derby? Are ya scared Fitz'll get you with his zimmer frame, or O'Meley with his belly-wheel? |

If it goes to form/ability then it should be Hull to win pretty comfortably. However we all know it rarely works like that in derbys.

I've seen enough Rugby League let alone derbys to know we're not guaranteed anything, 6-42 and 44-18 for examples from the last couple of years.
All the pressure is on Hull

Are we?
Derbies are nearly always tight and I expect a similar scoreline to both of last years games. Not a clue who will win, depends on who is fit after this weekend. |
