Let the mind games begin. Loads of "fake" injuries and reverse psychology from fans saying "we have no chance".

I expect the same team, but with Allgood replacing the suspended Green.

Yes pity about green apart from the brain fart he played well lets hope allgood and the boys do them

I never go into a derby confident, regardless of form, but IF we play to our potential we should take the spoils on Thursday.

Our shocking away form says it's a FC win for defo.
Shame about Green because he was just starting to play well, seems to finally have found that bit of aggression.

Well you don't think you can win and we don't think that we can win. We may as well all stay at home.

Rovers won't win. We should just aim to improve on last year by at least scoring.

We haven't managed to string 2 performances back to back yet, so I'm not getting giddy about last night. We are consistently inconsistent.

Just what if though.......

We start to become inconsistent at being inconsistent! Then what!?????

You suggesting we could become consistently consistent?

Looking forward to see if 'varicose veins and all' Albert Kelly and 'we dodged a bullet there' Terry Campese are able to work the magic behind a rapidly dwindling forward pack. Hope Chris Chester is able to formulate another Saints type team plan to put our neighbours to the sword on Thursday.

+ Copyright infringes breached but they were among the nicer quotes I could find about Rovers current half backs who Mrs Barista seemed intent on persuading the faithful wouldn't live up to the hype they received after signing. +

I like the throw it across the line 5 yards out on the very first play of the game it was as if to say we haven't got any forwards so this is what we're going to do loved it

Don't understand why you think you're going to lose? Your attack will absolutely destroy us. I won't say injuries are going to cost us the game because they won't. It's poor coaching in my eyes and it's a massive loss that we need to get Pearson to open his eyes and sort it out.

I've seen us play 3 away games so far. That's why I think we'll lose.

But not all the time.

I wouldn't get over confident about an automatic derby win. Albert Kelly said in interview last week on Hull KR TV that the teams main aim is to put several consistent performances together on the bounce. This is something we have failed to do so far this season.
As I have said in a separate post on a different thread in this forum, our good performances this year are all down to us getting the key basics of tempo and effective game plan spot on. If we fail, we end up playing catch up Rugby or lose embarrassingly. If we are on our game, we have the talent, creativity and team spirit to outperform all opposition.
