Before sunday I had it down as a comfortable rovers win, now not so sure. If we turn up and play as we can we will win IMO as they can;t live with our pack, however we've done that so infrequently this season it seems unlikely so I expect a defeat by a score or two but us still to make the 8 and rovers not
Injuries and confidence I suppose, pressure is on Rovers to not only win, but try and get some points difference back.
Most of their good home wins were when Kelly and Campese played together.

My thoughts exactly, pre derby mind games, nothing more.

Possibly won't now, but a home tie v Rovers would generate c£150k more than a home game v Les Cats and that's some serious money. Also better for the City to have both sides doing well.
Obviously I'd always want for us to win and finish higher, but having a healthy, competitive rivalry provides a financial spin off for us to invest in further strengthening the Club/Team/Coach.
Agree with those comments. Currently my family in Hull is split 75/25 between the 2 clubs with FC having the majority support among the dozen or so that follow the game.
