We need a full 80 like yesterday's first 40

I'd rather not, think we know what is going to happen lol

It's times like this I'm really REALLY glad to be in Sydney!!

I reckon we'll stuff them, Campese, Kelly and Lunt all back in shock recovery. The start to the season has all been tactics to put them off their game. Radfords last game after a 90 point annihilation.

I'm in full hull FC style bi-polar fandom. We won our last game therefore we are now the best team in the whole world ever. Webster out banners ready if we somehow manage to lose on Friday.

As I said on your forum I'm hoping for more passion and effort that seems to be missing in the Chester era derby games. I think it will be either a tight Rovers win or Hull by a reasonable margin.

I look forward to the Derby all week then hate the game unless we're winning easily and can relax mind you saying that in our famous 42-6 win at 26-0 I was still thinking just one more try and the games safe and I can relax

I’m hoping for an epic battle from us on Friday. We all know what is coming at us from the Darksiders. A (B)Radford style Blitzkrieg will be launched upon us from FC looking for total forward domination. If their forwards get on top we could capitulate and get massacred. I don’t think Hull’s backs are that good but if they play behind a dominant pack they will show no mercy. We need to dig in and show fighting spirit and get the tank busters out and defend the lines to the last man.

Cas, Wigan and Widnes have shown in recent weeks how to diffuse the Hull pack with the perfect battle plan. They can be made to look one dimensional and ordinary if we can stop the forwards. We need to move them around and tire them, run at the outside backs cos ‘They don’t like it up em’. We need to launch bombs at them for Sio and Mantellato.

The crowd need to play its part. The players earned our RESPECT last week. We need to be Partisan and out sing the enemy and rally the troops.

It’s a big ask after Sunday which will have taken a lot out of us, it’s a short turn around, 3 players playing with injections, 2 more injuries. It's probably a bridge too far. I am hoping Kelly is back for Marsh and we come away with some Kelly’s Heroes otherwise it could be another Long Good Friday. RRTR
