If this game wasnt on Sky it'd probably be off,

Hoping its on, really ready for it now

Its been quite an interesting build up to this game, a lot of confident Rovers fans, new signings, were expecting a big improvement, we seem full of confidence too.
Across the river tbe fans dont seem to confident, poor pre season, injuries, no top signings, same style of play, no pace etc etc

IMO tomorrow will be a really tough opening game, poor weather conditions, handling errors aplenty, neither team fully fit, not sure it'll be a game to throw the ball around either.
I think if our pack can at least match Hull's our halfbacks should see us home. Hopefully

We will clearly win.

Having said that, Ms. Terrorista v.2 is attending her first Derby.

Last game was CC Final.

As Daft Craig says, Hull will come with one game plan. A forward based power game.

If we score early, we need to step on their horrible throats, if not, we need to be patient.

This time of year, this game, they will try and drag us down to their level.

A mention from a Legend! I am less prone to arguments nowadays Welcome back and yes we need to get into them early and not let up.Very brittle if Plan A fails. Looking outside now think us fans are going to freeze our bollys off so a loss and pneumonia just wouldn't do?

Drag you down to our level?

You’re not the Barcelona of rugby league you know.

Just like last night it’ll be won who makes the fewest mistakes and completes, always is the case for the first few rounds of the season.

You'd think they'd learn by now?

I have to agree with this (sorry Scott). Completing sets is important, of course it is, but it has become a bit of a cliche, especially when the weather is bad. As in football, there is not much point having lots of possession if you aren't going to do anything with it. Saints made more errors than Wigan did last night. The difference was that Saints always looked a threat with the ball, whereas Wigan hardly ever created anything. Completing your sets will keep you in the contest, but there needs to be an end product.

Any news on the pitch inspection?

It’s not snowing it’s not raining it’s not even that cold I think there won’t be a need for an inspection

Actually I believe there was one around dinner time.

Game is definitely on anyway.

Fabulous ending to a very decent game, I thought.

Still early doors, but we’re off the mark.

Tough way to lose for Hull, but if they carry on like that with Connor back from round 2 they’ll snap their losing streak soon enough.

good match, imo draw fair result, but thought it was pretty even both teams having good spells, garbett looks a very good signing indeed, gutted to lose like that but that's rugby, good crowd as well
