Zod is very clear that you have a superior pack and the fastest back line in the competition. Throw in the recent derby record and Dobson and Cooke putting up bombs to Craig Hall all afternoon - foregone conclusion I think.  |

After Hull losing 4 of the last 5, including two big defeats and two last gasp heartbreakers, I think it is more a case of the chip being on the other shoulder. We got to be all condescending for a while - do us twice this year and we can swap roles again.
That said, I don't think the derby can ever just be another game while the teams are roughly evenly matched - not if you want to win it.

Agreed
People can say it's just another game but the rivalry/banter between the two sets of fans means it'll never be just another game |

You are right it is always a bit humiliating to lose to lowly teams and the defeat at 11th placed Hull last season was no exception. Everyone knows even the poorer teams can have the odd good day at home but Hull played above themselves so good luck to them.
Things were put right later on with the hammering at Craven Park and the 3-1 overall margin gives perspective to last years surprise result at the KC.
Who knows, Hull might raise their game again and another shock is possible if Rovers show any complacency. So you are wrong to think the game isn't worth playing. No doubt Rovers will have the final say come the end of the season but you shouldn't write Hull off in a one off encounter.

If there's an even(ish) share of possession then Rovers will win comfortably.
My only concern is if hull rack up some sets with a high completion rate and we don't defuse the diagnal kicks to the corner because hull's game is fairly predictable.
If Vella is in good nick and he starts with Fozzard, then it could be another long afternoon for hull.
