On friday he gave a rare penalty try and if you have seen the video,it was just play on and Iam sure if he saw the video he would agree.

Gonna be close des I feel.

Nah. Hull to get their form back and seal our fate in the middle 8s. I can see Hull pushing 40 points with Rovers getting maybe 2 or 3 scores. We outplayed Hull in the derby at CP and for large parts at the magic weekend and still came away with nothing so I can't see past a Hull win on Thursday.

This is all part of the derby week build up. 2/3 days leading up to it, fans always play down their own teams chances. I think it's a psychological thing - mentally prepare for the worst yet hope for the best. We've had all sorts of reasons why we shouldn't be favourites for this one, "Rovers are due a win", "we're out of form" etc.

I reckon we'll win too, but not by much. 24-20, something like that.

I will be genuinely surprised if we win, I just can't see how we can.

We're not good on the road, Hull have better players and a pretty settled game plan.

There not doing well against the bottom four teams all the teams that have beat Hull we've beaten so that points to a defeat obviously

Well it looks a better contest than 3-4 weeks ago. Thought the s#its would win before Thaler was appointed. We need a minor miracle now.
Only hope is their mind is elsewhere but home derby will focus their attention.
Could be the last derby for a while if we don't get our act together.

Not good on the road? Have't you beaten leeds at headingley and hammered current top 6 sides cas and wakey away?

Anomalies.

Leeds and Wakefield were awful and would have been beaten by me playing in the halves, Cas away, was our best performance of the season.

I've been really flippant in my views of this game so far.

But I still can't see a Rover's win unless the door's completely fall off the Hull game plan.

I think we'll give it a decent go and probably have good goal line defence at times but we won't be able to stand up to your pack.

I think our only chance is to make you nervous, if we can hold until sixty minutes we might have an opportunity.

I think we need to hold them for 80 mins as holding them for 60 mins hasn't worked out in the last two games

I'm not sure they are as good as league position suggests..great plan A but if matched in forwards the backs are average.. coach fans gypsy s in city's ground.the result is irrelevant they could do treble and still be franchise stealing salary cap breaching goalpost swinging pitch invading ters

Yes iv had a few beers.will humbly apologise tomorrow after 30 point scudding

Forgot the whole team on banned substances as well. .goodnight all x

And easily our worst under Powell, reminiscent of the Millward era
