To be fair, we are likely playing against a side boasting top quality rugby league talent like Matty Marsh, Jordan Walne & James Greenwood.
On paper we should be putting 40 past this lot, but Derbies never really go like that.

SportsBet let you pick your on Line. I only bet when I'm almost convinced I'll win something. I don't mind 1/4 on as it's still a 25% profit. Take you 15 years in a bank to get that 25% return. Hull had the exact same start in 2016 and won by 2 in this fixture after being 20-0 down. If Yeamo's pass hadn't stuck we may have lost. It did and a CC win came that season. I totally believe Radford was gone if we'd lost. We're here again with the same crap start as 2016 and this time no Ellis/Houghton/Fonua Remember Rovers had a 100% completion rate in the rain at Giants in the first half - that's about 18 sets on the trot. We can't manage 4 on the trot and haven't beaten anyone away this season. Lost to Salford who are also very poor. So all in all I can't see why we're massive favorites. Derbies are almost always close and that's why I took a 8 point start to cheer FC on and collect my winnings.

Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?
