Thats the key for me.Similar completion rate,good discipline and minimal errors should see us win comfortably.
HKR will start fast as usual so expect them to score first with a quick shift to one of their wings but keep the pressure and build pressure like we did at Leeds with good kicks into the in goal and they will crack.
Many people said Leeds were poor but if you watch the game again they are and will be a decent team but once we took control of the game they couldnt live with us.
I expect the same on Friday even with three changes.

Unfortunately I expect FC to win.Really hope you don,t, but your pack I fear will do too much damage,even without Ellis and Ma.u, plus lets be honest your backs are good, just hope Connor keeps his knees and elbows to himself and his mouth shut. Rovers have an almost new team that will take time to gel,plus the awful loss of Mose who was our biggest forward and a key member of our pack. Parcell missing is also a blow. That said,nothing is a given, but FC should win.
My concern is for us(Rovers) to avoid the bottom four,that may seem negative, but after the recent seasons that would be a plus.
Injuries will play a big part and we have had a ridiculous run of them for four years,it,s time for it to stop.
The team we have, will I think surprise a few and your team with what has been assembled should be top four minimum but luck does play a part and if you don,t you will seem to have blown it.
Hoping for a good game, no injuries,and a Rovers win. Lots of your posters think we are rubbish.Really hope we prove you wrong.

I'd be smashing the 5/1 if I was a Rovers fan.
Heart ruling head possibly, but still smashing it.

But Rovers have Tony Smith, not Richard Agar, and we have Lee Radford.

Is rain forecast?

You're missing 3, we are missing 2. You have a turnaround advantage of course. Derbies are difficult to call, I think we all have enough experience to recognise that.

No. I've seen it posted that we'll be found out when it's not a slog in the mud. And also that we can't play in the rain. Doesn't bode well either way.

Like you knocking other posters without making any contribution to the thread.

Its almost like Rovers have got their championship team ready a year early

We'll tonk em just like most SL teams this year - They'll finish bottom and be relegated......................

only they wont.................

as Super League will expand by one or two teams and no relegation will occur - thats why Grudge has assembled such a poor team for this year. IMO of course

pointless post as your opinion is worth FA

6-42 or 56-12. Who knows?

I see nothing more than a FC win
Rovers will be spirited but out muscled

Jones will have a break out game

Fonua MUST play even if for 20 at the end of each half. I feel passionately he must play unless injured.

A dry pitch as well

Just watch Ratu’s wing. Leeds had 1 try and it’s a miracle they didn’t have 2 more on his wing

Hull win for me - for sure, but not a record score like last year. Kelly to wreak havoc as well.

Oh I’m excited
