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.

And our defence is far better than yours so where will your points come from....your team has mistakes all over the team and all of you slagging Mcdonnell off...sooner have him that that pile of $hite in Eden.

Agree with what we need to do. The question is who plays 7.

Nothing wrong with Kris Welham tonight, played better then his opposite number who is an ex England international. It's Halls tackling in the centres that's the real weak point.

Horne will play 7 it's who plays 6.

Has to be Horne unless we re-call Nicklas or get someone in...as Long as it isnt Heremia i aint fussed...Whiting to go to 6 to stop that gob$hite Burns,who,i arent all that fussed with.Think Whiting would wind him up playing at 6 and he could blow up.

As mrs b has said, second highest scoring team behind Wigan, are you stupid

Welham has 1 good game in defence shock...lets face it,Shenton is crap and as for Halls tackling...you only just realised that...pity Yeamo is out as he would have ran over him.

Confidence is certainly sky high in East Hull, it seems. Prediction, moxi1?

So what....your still 8th with a crap defence record as well.........Cas get 22 against you...shows you how good you are at defence.
