Thought Watts was very good last night,ran hard,made very good metres and tackled well.

Not sure how it came across on the radio but their try was a failure in basic defence by one of our youngsters. We gave away loads of penalties particularly in the second half. I suppose one positive was at least that we defended the rest of them.

He cert looked like his old self. But we still look laboured IMO. Got to lift it for next week and I think.we will

Radford has an OK record in getting teams up for the derby. I think Rovers will win, mind.

God forbid!!!

I think we'll lose the next 3

Hull will win the derby well, but then lose the next few after that.
Pressure will increase on Radford again, just in time to pagger the Dobbins again and get a new deal

win 2 out of 3

OK at best.

In league games, Radford's record is Played 6, Won 3, Lost 3.

We won the last two Derbies last season at Magic and NCP, however I'd say our Good Friday performance at home to Rovers last April was as bad as any game under Radford's tenure and made the last weeks Widnes match look like a good effort.

No coach has ever dominated the Derby in their career, not Bunting, not Millward etc. I always felt Justin Morgan got closest to getting his team up for the Derby, but don't know his actual record against us?

I think we'll win on Friday, but this is likely to be due to Rovers current injuries and smaller squad than Radford's motivational team talk.

Want to reconsider?
