But you raise your game substantially against the teams at the top of the table. FC, missing 3 of our starting forwards, have no chance against the most destructive and versatile pack in the competition. I think I may get my Wetherspoons breakfast and just turn back, unable to witness the battering first hand.

When do we get the timely boosts? FC are on the cusp of announcing an extension for Manu and the returns of McKinnon and Yeaman. Who's going to be a Rovers (

) doubt all week, excluded from the 19, then be announced as a replacement on match day for someone who's suddenly "injured"? Exciting stuff.

No such dramas this year. Hally might be back and that will be it. Clintons already a doubt so maybe he might make it to give the TB. However, his 6 carries are hardly likely to put a dent in SL's meanest defence.

Hull by lots.

Stan, Stan, Stan, do keep up. I'm pleased a rumour has been started that Scott Taylor is signing for Leeds. That can only mean one thing. 3 year extension at Rovers announced Wednesday. Time. Ly. Boost. Fest.

Could go either way. Think one side will win it by plenty though

Draw.

Not heard the Taylor rumour. He's on board until the end of 2013 so I don't envisage any dramas at this stage. Besides I thought Lord Faulkener was mopping up all the young British talent?

Another classic post.

We've both played Saints, Warrington, Cas and Bradford. We got seven points and you got one.

If Rovers turn up to play like we know they can then we win. If the Rovers we've seen for most this season turn up then we'll score a hat full of points but ultimately lose the game. We won't know which Rovers side will turn up till kickoff or maybe till the 60th minute..

When did form ever matter going into a Derby?

I'm expecting the usual twists and turns that our Derbies usually produce. Hope some of your players are dying their hair again this season for the cameras!?!
