Absolutely. The usual fabricated nonsense from them ready for a timely boost on Saturday. Didn't we beat them with 16 players when Faraimo got redcarded a couple of years ago?

The whole club is built on this mindset. Hard done by and up against it.



The fans buy into it (critical thinking is not in their DNA when it comes to Rovers), and now it looks like DM has fell into the same way of thinking.

Me neither. The core of that squad was within one game of the GF last season.



They still have plenty of experience available and also have the luxury of fielding 6 full internationals.



That must make them favourites given how decimated we are.

There's not a single player from Saturdays u18s game in that KR squad. We have 2 in ours. This is just posturing from them.

And what they are basically saying is that every single one of the 17 lads who played in that academy game is now injured and unavailable to make the squad, which is clearly bull.

Even if you don't think they are ready to play, at least just name one and let then be an unused sub (or even bring them on for a bit if the result is basically decided by 70 minutes). It would still be a good experience and learning curve for a young lad to be named, warm up with the team, spend the game on the sidelines rather than up in the stands.



I did like Maguire as a player but as a coach for half a season he has done nothing but whine that the world is against him.

I'm not sold on Hodgson but to be fair to him he could see injuries mounting and players been moved on so he made an early move into the loan market to fill the spaces and he has given debuts to a fair few young players this season. Maguire has just cried about injuries every week and repeatedly claim he doesn't know how he's going to field a team the following week.

I think our 2 were named in the squad for the Toulouse game the following day.

Just do what we did last weekend - name an unused sub

Hodgson did the exact same thing last season with Burrell against Huddersfield. Gave him a couple of minutes at the end of the game. He was only seventeen at the time.

And now it seems he’s whining because Tony didn’t involve him as much this season







Rather convenient and creates an excuse as to why he can’t be blamed for the poor showing this season

Anybody know how the tickets sales are going?

Gale, Marcus Walker and Aidan Burrell all announced as leaving alongside Johnstone, Ma’u, Bowden, Reynolds, Smith.

Not great I guess otherwise they'd be banging on about it on twitter every hour.



I think 14/15k is the best we can expect.

Think that would still be good considering

I will be missing my first home game of the season tomorrow.

I'm never 1 to make plans on game day but such is my apathy towards the game and Hull right now that tomorrow I've decided to make other plans instead.

Can't wait for this season to end now and look forward to next year with renewed optimism yet again.

I'm more excited about the Hundred final tomorrow and I don't particularly follow cricket

I might be in the minority but I'm looking forward to it. Good test how our academy lads deal with the pressure of a derby game. Great experience for all of them.



Every youngster growing up playing rugby in Hull must dream of playing in a derby. Sadly, some won't be given that opportunity.

Gotta say am looking forward to it. After all the crap this year be nice to go out on a win. Shirt ready to go.

In any kind of weather!! Good, bad or indifferent I'll be there with my grandson.

How can you not look forward to beating Rovers

get yourself down there and kiss goodbye to another shoite season but at least Rovers are worse than us

I wasn't looking forward to it but my young niece has announced she wants to go and is very excited so now I'm excited. At least there's a a bouncy castle.

That's the spirit

You going Bonaire? Or just sat by the radio ready to let rip?

Yeaman to deliver the match ball

I bet he won't pass it to Raynor.
