1. Rovers are fantastic and Hull are cr*p
2. Our coach is better than yours
3. We don't have Tansey, Long and Westerman who are uncontrolable
4. You don't have Dobson and Green
5. Neil Hudgell and you have Kath 'the man' Etherington
6. You have fans that never see the final score but are first in the Macy D' queue after the game


There are so many I will save the rest for the dosey birds coments.

Webster
Watts
Welham
Vella
Colborn
Cooke (gone)
Netherton

Morgan seems to have been very clever with his pre-season games, using this last one as a proper run out albeit not at the same SL standard tempo.

A derby usually throws up a dire affair and with this one being the first game of the season I do not see it being much different. Rovers will no doubt have the better halves running the show and I honestly cannot see Hull being strong enough over 80 minutes at this early stage of the season.

Looking at Hull's pack they have some very good players in there but other than Fitzgibbon and O'Meley I think our pack wins on top trumps! Vella, Clinton, Newton and Galea are obviously the ones that stand out but even Murrell, Watts and Fisher have impressed me this off season and I think they will be just too strong down the middle.

Not to be too complacent though it could be a tough game as both teams will no doubt want to get off on a losing run. Likewise the pitch will be heavily cut up after 6 previous games along with the slippery surface due to the roof being closed all weekend. These things could be a leveller and as I say make this into yet another dire derby!
