Hill will win comfortably, Rovers already weak pack,decimated by injuries,will be steamrollered and Hull's half backs will have a field day.
Opportunity missed if you dont dramatically improve your points difference.
It is a Derby, anything can , and will happen.

Catalans was a boost and players will be up for it as they should be but level heads are needed, better discipline and some composure. I'd be very dissappointed if we lose against a significantly weaker KR team even given we're missing Houghton et al, it's not as if we are only fielding 12 men.
We'll still be ahead in the league so long as we don't lose by 24 points or more which would be more realistic it being the other way, Leeds and Warrington lose and we'd be back to 4th with a win.
Hope the weather holds out for everyone, as much for the playing spectacle.
This.
I remember being on that excuse they call the south terrace for this game 10 years ago when there was horizontal hail coming at us face first.
Must admit to getting a little bit twitchy at the moment, which is pretty standard for me on derby day!
I see rovers are playing their 19 man squad, according to twitter.
If that team can't win today against the team Rovers have out then we definitely don't deserve to be winning anything this year. Had one slip up already against Salford we can't afford many more if we want to be top 4 again.

It probably wont pan out that way but Hull should win comfortably this afternoon which would set us up nicely for a tougher game on Monday. Ultimately, the two competition points are what matters.

Get in Mickey Paea! Let's hope he grounded it.
