My point is that bookies don't really have opinions, they balance the herd and the size of the Hull FC punt will be bigger than the Hull KR, so our odds/handicap will likely always be a bit more generous than they should be.
bookies and generous are 2 words that dont really go together MR

Where did you look? The majority of bookies have us down as shorter odds in both competitions, you may find the odd one where we are even if it gives you some comfort.

At present in Done Bookmakers KR are 28/1 to win the Grand Final and Finish top of SL FC are 25/1. This is the first game of the season and as so many people have mentioned there are 6 games to be played on this pitch before we clash. Surface could be unpredictable which in some cases could amke it a great leveller either way which ever team your predicting a win for. Derby games can go down to a drop goal in the last minute or a fantastic cover tackle in an other no one knows. We all expect our teams to compete and paly quality rugby league something am sure the KR fans will enjoy this season with Green and Dobson. Lets all look forward to a great day and may the best team win, as long as they wear red and white and are called HKR.

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

We're 12-3 up amongst neutral supporters on the VT predictions thread. I think the extra pre-season game will help, but I wish I was quite as confident.

Impossible to predict, very evenly matched sides, no form to go off (not that it ever matters on Derby Day) as ever the nearer the day gets the more the doubts creep in.
