I did think to myself (after the hooter went) that it will make next week harder on us. Saying that, if Rovers come with the right attitude from start to Finnish, I think we will still win

They are going to Finland?

Well, after this weekend I think most Black and Whites will be pretty low on confidence, so make hay while the sun shines. If we win on Friday we can rub it in even more and if we lose, we've still had all this week to gloat, prior to them taking over on Friday, which they will if they win, that's for sure.

They are gonna get battered!

Ben Cockayne hat trick anyone?

It will be a great game i cant wait,i just feel we will have to much pace and power all over the pitch and will win by 16 points. High kicks to Hall and Calderwood the order of the day

We should win, wether we do win depends on the attitude of the players, and that, Warrington apart, has been excellent all season.

Ideally we need a red hot day, they already have a big wide pitch, and with the kicking of Dobson and Cooke, i reckon they'll tire more easily than they have tended to recently.

Thanks to Mr Duffen we already have the advantage of an extra couple of days rest. Thanks to Kath we have Dobson and thanks to Fc's board they have Agar as coach. Lets make these advantages count.

But then again its a derby and anything can happen.

Somehow, I find that very hard to believe. We have played both Warrington & Salford this season and the latter are easily the worst SL side of the last 3 seasons.

Difference is we are still in Super League whereas you have left the cup at your first hurdle.

Warrington beat us quite cosy after being awful all season.
Its still too close to call this one despite Hull being poor of late.
Rovers need to stick to the game plan and not get sucked into a forwards battle

Could'nt agree more, a derby win never has and never will be a forgone conclusion for either team, regardless of current form.
If i had recieved a fiver for every time the unexpected has happened in past derbies, i could have taken early retirement. Derbies have always been about the team on the day that has the right attitude, the greatest desire and of course the rub of the green.
Hull will be smarting after yesterday and after a rollicking will be fired up for this game, we must be equal to the task, make sure we have the right attitude and produce a proffesional clinical display, anything less and we could see Hull walk away with the bragging rights.

Come on you reds!!! lets

Somehow I find that hard to believe, we loose one Superleague game away from home and don’t get the two points. You go out of the cup to a team at home who we comfortably beat the week before and consequently now only have one chance of Silverware this season which lets be honest your really going to struggle to win!
