| Quote: Gallanteer "At the start of the season when fixtures were published, this was not dead cert to be a dead rubber. In fact, if results had been different just last weekend, this might still have been a must win game.
As it is, Hull need this more than us in terms of points into the S8s and to get back on the horse after last weekends (very funny) drubbing. It's on TV now, basically because Todd Carney might play.'"
Yes some good points.
There's not really anything much at stake in any of the Friday games so I suppose SKY decided the Hull Derby with the biggest crowd,the best atmosphere and Todd Carney would be the biggest draw for TV viewers.

| Just trying to remember when I first came to watch Rovers, as a 10year old it did not even know how a league worked, I just enjoyed the game. When did we become obsessed with winning? The derby to me was always an occasion & I have no connection to the city at all just to Rovers. Why can’t folk just enjoy the game?

I completely agree. Complaints about dead rubbers, and ‘season over’ annoy me a little. Each game should be a contest worth winning/enjoying in itself. And I hope we win an entertaining match on Friday - it’s been a long time since we won a derby.
But the 8s cast a long shadow, and we’re denied that pleasure to some extent.

| He's utterly wrong and he's a perfect example of what's wrong with our game. All sports have flat points but most have people running the game and the clubs with enough intelligence and integrity to sell it to the public all the same. His comment is pathetic.
Also just for local bragging rights how can a derby not be important! what a whinging self pitying bunch RL supporters are - n0 wonder we can't spread the game.
FWIW there is nothing wrong with the current concept but as ever our self interested boss junked it instead of sticking with it and refining it to a point where it really captured the imagination.
So you think back to one up one down is the answer because that worked didn't it.
Ours is a sport played by lions and run by donkey's.

| Looking at that 18 man squad we will have problems matching them in the backs.look very young.Saying that you never know? Add Crooks and Carney into that and it looks a little better. My feeling at the moment is that they will be more up for this game than us and may pile a big score on us.Hope I'm wrong

Rumours he's for the chop if they lose on Friday? Can't see it myself either way?A very strange build up to this Derby and just can't shake the feeling they are going to get some revenge after shipping 72!!!! After our MPG and then last year's successful promotion i agree that Fridays game doesn't matter as much to me as normal as it's all about staying up and the 2 points on Friday are about as much use as Susan Boyles minge. Both teams missing loads of players but the fans of the winning side won't care.

| So only Connor missing as fully expect Kelly to play. Bookies giving us 14 point head start. Quinlan 18-1 1st try and is the favourite for us.Hes normally 10s? They can spin it all they want but that is a very strong team and 12 or 13 of strongest 17 are included. Crikey

| Kelly will play.Green and Bowden are average props.Hadley replaced by Manu which on paper is a huge upgrade and Abdull can more than fill in for Westerbum at 13. So 4 or 5 from best 17 missing.Hardly the epidemic you lot have been whinging about? Only Connor is genuinely quality of those missing. Looking at those 2 squads it looks like we are in for a long night .The other side of that is if we do win then you would have to conclude the team want Radford out? We will see

In all honesty this season when Rovers have that amount of players missing it isn't a crisis it's the strongest line up of the year.
