The Dentist Wilf:

I always though that we missed a trick in the past when we had good seasons by not offering a mini pass at say the quarter way point or the half way point to if not attract the leavers back, to at least offer a reduced opportunity for new recruits to have a pass and to make an offer to convert people who go occasionally to watch regularly.

His Bobness:

Definitely the biggest derby for 40 years. Who knows maybe the days of the 2 clubs regularly competing against each other in big games will become commonplace again.


Hull FC did exceptionally well against Wigan fair play. But you were getting hammered until Field went off and Keighran playing on one leg. And without doubt there was a Vegas hangover for Wigan. Even so there are 7 clubs grateful that you took advantage.

Rovers have conceded 40 points v Wigan’s 47 in the league. Wigan have played stronger teams, so I wouldn’t see Rovers as a better defence. I would rather play Rovers than Wigan any day.

It only needs one sin bin or sending off incident to change a game. You’ve had it one way for a season, but we are becoming a different opposition and our wingers 

I'm fairly confident of a Rovers win, teams are struggling to get out of their own half and you will be coming up against a defence better than anything you have faced so far.

The Dentist Wilf:

I don't know why there will be reams and reams of this no one expects us to win either game we are playing the top of the league cup favourite 'wonderkinders' of the Western world  we can't lose as a club. According to their scribes on here it will take us 6 years to get back up there and were not even a quarter of the way through year one!!!! Lose and its what everyone expected win and well....... One thing is for sure though whoever loses the cup game will be well and truly stoked for the Derby match and even if we get through the first game without too much unfortunate incident the Good Friday one will be carnage.

Can we win the trophy, yes I think we can, unlikely but not impossible
