Of course. Enjoy your night. Bragging rights mean that you should brag about the Derby victory. So get out and brag.

I don't actually know many Rovers supporters. None in my family, a couple at work who never go to games. Don't imagine many will be popping up on here for a while.

Its two points and thats all that matters especially in such a tough game as a Derby playing without a meaningful second row

A very poor first half as most have said despite the possession we had. Our halfs just didnt take on the line and our last tackle options were the worst i have seen for weeks.
Good to see two of our previously much criticised backs stand up and whilst it pains to say this our headless chicken turned the game for us.
That said i am pleased he is going.
Not sure we will see Hoy again this season and will be interesting to see who Smith goes with.

Ah, I see. I'm born and raised in East Hull, Black and White because my father wouldn't have it any other way. So I live amongst them. They're very quiet tonight. I enjoy rubbing it in to my best mates. These are the times I get superiority over them.

For me after today's performance, when all centres are fit, Carlos to miss out.
Scott is developing really well the more game time he gets.
Lane for me, again poor today.
Think the occasion rather than it being just another game got to the players.
At least Rovers can console themselves with the Clive Sullivan cup.

Pains me to say re Carlos but I’d have to agree that on performance so far this season when all are fit Sutclifffe & Scott are ahead of Carlos.

2nd row really is a big concern too if Griffin is supposedly not being offered a deal and Savelio is being chased by Cats plus still has chequered history in terms of injury. Lane is so far off the pace and has been for some time it’s concerning.

Good win for Leeds at Salford to keep us on the coat tails of 6th and now only one place from the all conquering Rovers who had won everything this season after 9 rounds.
We just keep ticking over and taking each game at a time and the win today as nice as it is to get one over them in a derby is still just worth 2pts even though they were an important 2pts in the context of the season. The other plus is it keeps their idiots quiet for a little while funnily enough, I wonder why

TS really has made a big impact and is a steadying influence of experience and knowledge not just in regards of the players but the club as a whole.

I agree Carlos is a weak link at the moment and has had sufficient game time now to play himself in to match fitness

I know its not relalistic to get that sixth spot but if we did and had a fully fit squad and ill include Griffin in there, although it looks like he may depart before the the end of the season, i really fancy us to shock a few teams in the play offs.

Re: Craven Park Derby : Sun Jul 09, 2023 4:20 pm  

What a funny game. First half we where lucky to be only 6 down. Second half lot better. Effort again can't be knocked. Mac Dwyer Houghton Scott standouts. Butt in fairness al got stuck in. Well. Played lads .

Re: Craven Park Derby : Sun Jul 09, 2023 4:22 pm  

I wouldn't write Carlos off just yet.

He's had his injuries over the past couple of seasons but he's always put a shift in when he's pulled our shirt on. That's all you can ask.

He come out on top against a legend like SKD today.
