I'm about 25% just now. I don't buy all this doom & gloom from FC just 'cos they got beat in France. Our away record stands at W1,L4

Plus they have Gleeson on debut, as Burnsy says, "surely this indicates a switch in the balance of power, east to west". Not that he knows owt about RL mind!

They will point to Bradford - they beat them, but Salford mullered them. I will see your Bradford, and raise you a Leeds - we struggled to beat them only to see Huddersfield tear them a new one at Headingley last weekend.

I may reach 30% by Friday morning due to blind faith.

Hull are probably playing their same bland rugby and look to grind games out - only this season they've lost out in tight games whereas last season they won most of these games. I don't think they're a bad team but I don't think they're anything to really fear either.

Our form has been very patchy but I think we're moving in the right direction.


I give us a 50/50 chance of winning, though there's only a 10% chance of that. ([sizeNaked Gun humour[/size)

Normally one team is going into the Derby full of confidence only to come unstuck during the game. This could be a tight on as we both are miles away from hitting any form this year.

Both coaches will see it as a crucial game, I'm edging towards a draw.

I can never understand how RL fans can predict a draw, it a rarity tht it ever happens in the game as it is, but I cannot remember the last draw in a derby. For me their will be a winner and a loser on Friday and I am confident we will get the two points as we have not been too bad in the last two weeks and Hull are rubbish at the moment.

Going into the normal season KC derby last year we were red hot and FC where dire, people where predicting an absolute rout, of course we lost.
2007 derby, FC on a run of 7 straight wins, we had won one in 8 or 9 games, of course we hammered them. So as can be seen form means absolutely 0 in context of this game.

We're going to batter, müller and pound them to a paste in a great big red and white pestle and mortar.

good to have you back 'Goose' ...it has been a tad too normal on here without your off the wall postings !

Been on tour fella, have to behave better for a bit.

In other words you are going to give it rice?

Fo' sho.

We're going to rice you.



KAPOW! WHAM! BLAMMO!

And then we're going to mince you.



SLAM! SMASH! KERPLUNK! (Ran out at that point)

And then we'll mince off.



Last part optional...

OO you are AWFUL,but I like you.

Dick and Emery. Two words which should not go in the same sentence!

4 points in it, either way.

Actually not. We seem to be trying to play expansive rugby and failing - creating plenty of chances and not finishing them off. Our defence is also largely crap this season.

Got "classic" written all over it this game.
