Are you 5?

So who will be our halfback combo on Friday is the big question. I think he'll go AH & Horne. Personally I'd put Whiting in there and play with three props Watts playing 13 and have AH on the bench as I think we really need to dominate them up front making Dobbo play off of the back foot whilst Whiting can get at Burns.

I'd be OK with Horne's partner being either Whiting or Westerman. Apparently Westerman has been doing some training in the halves so if I had to guess I'd say he would be picked there ahead of Whiting. I hope we don't try AH again as I don't think that works.

Yup, that's how I see it also.

Rovers to edge it I reckon. I cannot believe people who actually watched the 52-0 vs Castleford, are actually using it as a justification of points scoring. Cas must have gifted us 30 points, at least. Fine if Rovers make mistakes, we will punish them, if they don't, we will probably lose.

i know im looking forward to the saints v wigan game aswell

We need to sort our attack out. Defensively we're sound. The dobbins attack is rubbish. They let 22 points in from nowhere v cas, and let 20 go v Salford.

I don't see how we can lose this one; rovers are cr@p full-stop. Yes I know; it's Hull and it's a derby and all that but come on there should be nothing for us to be too concerned about here. Player for player apart from say dobson and patterson, this rovers side are the worst since coming up and if we lose we need bullwhipping.

I cant call this. If we go with Heremaia in the halves then i can see us getting beaten. He is so ineffective there its unbelieveable. Our defence is good on the whole, but I can imagine Dobson's kicking game will have us coming off our line time and time again, which fatigues you quicker. It then only takes 1 missed tackle and its try time for someone like Eden.

Eden is a liability. Just look back to last night. We need to suppress Dobson. Without him the wovers are nothing.

im sure u mean defence and its not rubbish its not defence at all. its the 1st derby im struggling to get up for, the bragging rites this year will read were the slightly less awful side in hull. Sad really as i remember when our derby results usually had an effect on who would win a cup or win the league, Id love us both to be a top 4 team but i dont see it for either club

I would be a little concerned defencively playing Westerman there for the full eighty.

Easier said then done.

It's rubbish our attack is it? What a load of crap you speak

You'd be concerned about Westerman's defence in the halves? That's the one thing I'd be confident in.

I think we will go with Westy there, whenever we make a change in the halves in-game it's always him that goes to 6 first not Whiting. Not necessarily what I'd do myself but it's what I think will happen.
