Sorry you were missing 3 then hardly decimated

come derby day imo its who plays on the day, always 50/50

Apology acknowledged. Even less so for you if you're only missing Addy and Lawler then.

You can't seem to grasp that McGuire and Hefferman plus Kavanagh and Scruton also ruled out its funny when our coach says a player won't play you say they will and when your coach says a player will play you say they won't you should really be in politics

And you can't seem to grasp that no one's officially ruled in or out until kick off. Let's see..

I can't see Lawler recovering from a broken leg and dislocated ankle but I suppose we'll find out come kick off

it's not an event, it's just a 2 point game

What planet are you on? I’m pretty sure everyone is well aware it’s a two point game but like it or not, the fans, players and media are more invested in these derby games. It’s the same in all sports and it won’t change.

Derbies are more than a 2 point game they mean more to fans than other regular games or they wouldn't draw the best crowds the world over at various sports take a look at derby days on YouTube and tell me they don't mean anything

totally agree, always want to win the derby

She the derby definitely means more than a game against Widnes, Salford, Wakey, Huddersfield, etc. I think I'm at a point now where I'd rather beat Leeds away than Rovers away.

I don't watch rugby matches because they are worth league points. I watch because they make me feel passion and pride and shame and joy. These emotions are heightened in derby games. Of course I look forward to winning at Old Trafford and every win gets us closer to achieving that. But that is a distant goal whereas getting one over our neighbours is here and now.
