All the Red&Whites need to be in full voice and get behind the boys in what could be our biggest game of the season. :DRUMMER:

So we're going to lose all our remaining games and not make the play offs then...

Wakefield away was a bigger game than this, if we'd lost that game we were more or less out of the play off picture. Lose this one and its a bit painful on a workplace point of view but has no massive bearing on our season. FC probably need it more.

Win on thursady will secure play offs and put us in the frame even more for a top 4 finish that was morgans aims at the begining of the season

This game will decide who finishes above the other IMO. Rovers have a far easier run in and will easily overtake Hull if we get within a point here. But if we go 5 behind them that will be too much.

Also this game may well decide who has home advantage against each other in the play offs. (There must be a reasonable chance that Rovers & Hull finish 6th & 7th and meet in the play offs.)

It is a derby and even if nothing else were at stake it would still matter.

This game is MASSIVE and for a number of reasons.

We wont get top 4, not sure if I'm overly bothered TBH, would like to get 5th. 4th just means you get a pasting from the league champs away and have to pick yourself up for a home game against a team who's coming off the back of a play off win. 4th is a poison chalice.

I agree its a massive game but its not the biggest game of our season. IF we got them in the play offs that would be (well until the next round of the play offs after we'd beaten them. :wink: )

I agree with you there. The team that finishes 4th gets a very poor reward as we saw last season.

Hull maybe should hope they don't finish 4th. As things stand they would have to go away to Wigan, probably get steamrollered and then the week after probably have to beat a confident Leeds team who would be coming off the back of a play off win.

Luckily for Hull that is a problem they are most unlikely to face because I just don't see them being any higher than 6th at best.

Don't want to go majorly off topic, but what happens if this 'pasting' off the leaders doesn't occur, and somehow the 4th placed team wins.

Who do the leaders then play? Who does the 4th team play?

If the first place team loses they will play at home to the lowest ranked team through from 5vs8 and 6vs7
