Nah, I don't want to be the 1st poster to use the "it's their Cup Final" line, but you need to snap out of losing before it becomes a crisis. We on the other hand have never backed up a win in 2016.

We should win on paper there no doubt, but aren't playing well and if you scored early, i think our confidence could go, we are really struggling in dealing with kicks particularly high kicks, so if you get your tactics right you have a chance.

Saying that we were really poor against Hudds, but didn't think we were too bad on Friday,thought Leeds were really good, hooker will make a huge difference and so much class in the backs that I think they will start to play now and win the middle 8s easily.

am looking forward to it as there is a bit resting on it, should be a good game

Good result and things look a bit rosier than they have for a while.

Good shot at avoiding the spoon now, and 4 home games in the middle 8s is in our own hands.

Catching Cas or Wakey is a thin and fragile hope, and I'm going to avoid even thinking about it for now. If we did win the Derby though...

Looking ahead to that game, Hull still looked (mostly) well organised against Huddersfield and Leeds. Maybe just a tiny bit jaded in attack - though Sneyd was v.good yesterday. Hudds and Leeds both played well, I thought, as well. Tough game, but I'm a tad more optimistic than I was for the last two, when a big, big score against looked a very distinct possibility.

Is green banned for derby? Radio Humberside seemed to think he would be eligible? ..also what's Blair s injury not seen it mentioned

Green is still banned.

Blair, Donaldson, Greenwood & Horne doubts.

Right now, apparently both Hull and Rervers will struggle to field 17 fit blokes for next week's derby. I've had the SOS call from the club asking me to turn up for training on Monday, but I refused as the club won't consider a loan offer. My missus has me down to take her to the garden centre.

Hull could recall Jordan Babdul from his loan, as Pryce is finally not justifying his salary and Tuimavave is crocked. There's always dependable and versatile Danny W.

You couldn't make it up. Imagine the Black and Whites having to play a game this season with several key players out injured. Don't know how they'll cope.

I'd have doubts about Dixon and Larroyer too, even if fit to play.

Like we did against Warrington at home?

Jordan Abdul isn't on loan anymore.

To be honest I'm nor sure what this post is about, nobody has moaned about injuries ahead of this game have they, certainly not in masses like other clubs.

That's because you haven't had injuries anything like other clubs.

I don't have too much sympathy with clubs who sign injury prone players and choose not to run a reserve team.

No coincidence that 4/5 have reserve teams IMO.

We have, we just don't whine about it.

Short memory..typical curly turd

Wronggggggg.

At worst this season you have had 3 first choice team members missing from the matchday 17 for every fixture so far. Your spine has been mainly healthy and your front row.

Saints, Wigan, Wire, Cas, Hudds, Leeds, Rovers and possibly Wakey have had more than their fair share of first choice absentees this year for every game.
