Post subject:  derby verdict
I would say at the moment it is 2 all in deserved victories , rovers 42-6 and last match at craven park both easily the best side.Hull in the first derby at Craven park was the best side and at the kc last year. The 2 at millenium stadium were close to call and good friday last year went to the death also first ever SL derby was a close call .Best victory /performance 42-6

But as usual the derby is impossible to call.


Happy days for RL in Hull.

Only seeing Hull twice on tv its difficult to say but if thats their normal form on both these performances i'd say Rovers comfortably....but derby matches are completely different and the underdogs generally rise to the occasion. Its also their cup final so i'll go with Rovers by six.

I think you'll find it's our friends east of the river that place all the importance on Derby wins, I could not care less tbh. I would be happy to lose them both and secure a top four finish.

One set of fans brag for a few days and then you move on so tbh Derby's are not the be all and end all for me.

I think it will be a tight game and both teams will be under plenty of pressure to perform.

Very hard one to call on current form though if pushed i would have to say Hull might just edge it.

A tight start to the game. Hull need to be ahead at half time to stand any chance. Cant see that myself. Once the backs of Rovers have the ball on a big wide pitch like the kc, it will be asta la vista baby. Can see Fox getting a hatful. My only worry would be Horne. But with Rovers dominating possesion that should put paid to him.

Prediction Hull 8 v 12 Rovers H/T
Hull 16 v 36 Rovers F/T

Survival, Consolidation, Two wins in the Derby every year - that was always the plan. :wink:

One set of fans have their few days (or 29 years, depending :lol: ) of bragging (though so few of you seem to care, It'll no doubt be quiet on here if you win on Good Friday) and their club gets 2 league points - the things that actually help you finish higher up the league, rather than hypothetical pacts with the RL devil.*

You must have great expectations for your team then, if you would rather beat Hull twice this season and finish lower in the league! :lol:
