The last time Hull won and Rovers lost their fixtures prior to a super league derby (if my research is correct!), led to Hull sticking 38 points on them at Craven Park on Aug 11th 2013.
Unfortunately, this is also the last time I've attended a derby that Hull have won... Hoping to reverse that form on Friday night!

Considering only Lineham is in double figures and Pryce is our third top try scorer with six. As a collection of backs id say yes there one of the worst back lines in the league. Poor? Maybe. One of the worst? Yes. As individuals, some of them are really good. Like I said its our backs I'm concerned about as a whole, not I'm concerned about this player and that player playing.

The backline as individuals is not that bad, as a collection of players it hasn't worked as well and there are particular reasons why, it's no surprise we have the second lowest scoring total in SL.

Exactly what I was getting at.

When you look at the individuals it's baffling why we are so lacklustre in attack although Sneyd has spent quite a bit of time on the sidelines. KR have been good at home all season but don't expect Kelly to play and think we will sneak it by 4-8 points. Think they will throw Chisholm in so just hope he doesn't do a Quinlan!

It really isn't baffling when you look at the first half of the season especially, we looked absolutely clueless in attack, no structure, no organisation, no thought about how to unlock a defence. We had next to zero backing up, dummy runners went out the window after a short period into the game or as soon as we are chasing/under duress etc. As I pointed out in another thread we haven't kicked a 40-20 all season either.

We are just too slow moving the ball and it makes it easy for defenses to get men across. We also don't commit enough defenders so when the ball finally makes it to a Centre there is a full compliment of shirts waiting. We've looked better recently but its too late for our backs to look good on the try tables.
