We should be winning on Friday if you look at the squads, backs are just about full strength, pack missing a few though.

How big is Rovers squad, appartley have 13 out, but still name a 19 with plenty of experienced players.

FAKE NEWS! Are you Trumps press officer?
The Sharks have 4 players missing and still their reporter leads with injuries.
Rovers have 5 of 7 backs out and 5 starting forwards out and have as many suspensions that the Sharks have injuries. Into the Rovers squad comes a kid who hasn't played for a year and hopefully paper work is in for a player who hasn't played for 6 months.
Must be 6 aged 20 or under in Rovers squad.

The Sharks by 30. Anything but a Sharks win would suggest trouble at mill after their record Super league defeat at Wakefield last week.
Late news! Rovers have Fifita on loan from the Wildcats.
The latest from Tim Sheens 'I've named a one man pack. I think Fifita can handle this on his own. He did last week'.

Our kids fell off his bike. I think Smailes and Radford have added that to your injury list. Grade 3 knee graze. Two months out and second spot in Super league snatched from you grasp.

I understand you wanting to play down Rovers chances, it makes things more comfortable. But we lost by 62 points last week, whereas you are bouncing and the few players we have back are on one leg. Calm down, stop being silly and enjoy your first Derby win since Easter 2015 against a depleted FC side bereft of confidence at present.

We have six out, 5 of yours out are self inflicted, should learn how to behave themselves on ave off the pitch.

Still 13 experienced players in the Rovers squad, plus some of the best young players in the game, we should win, but we will be so slow in confidence, could be your best chance for a while, although I thought that at magic, when we even had one of our coaches playing

Thank you Sara Saunders.

Hope he’s alright,

Get some chains on his tyres if he’s going to Toronto on it.

It's the biggest squad we have ever had for sure. Surprising how many average plodders you can fit in a squad mind

Thanks chief.
He wanted to go but two months out has seen to that plan.
Radford hopes to name him for one of your dead rubbers

The good news with the squads like this now is that all pressure has been elevated off rovers - this team can go out and enjoy the game and really play stress free.

I fully expect a mauling, however if we can hold onto you for 60 mins and make the last 20 a nervy affair it will be interesting.

It's just pure hysterics watching the usual characters on here flounder about and start panicking. If you get beat by that team the meltdown on here will be epic! Interesting couple of days aye

Fun ain't it....Radford Out!

Better to have dead rubbers, than million pound games.

so much wrong in your post.

The bit highlighted is completely wrong (not that its such a great thing!)

Interesting to see what the crowd will be giving it's a dead robber. Hull website says 15k sold by the club. Not sure if that includes Rovers allocation as well. The upper bowl is open so they must be expecting around 20k.

Whoops - Rubber !!
