Rovers by a country mile. With our SL status already secure, umpteen players missing and 2 more gone in a confidence-killing shellacking yesterday, Rovers "bouncing" with fewer injuries and keen to end a winless Derby run going back to Easter 2015 and 2 day turnaround advantage, this has only one outcome. Their first win in 8 derbies, champagne time for the wizard.

Can see us resting players to go along with the 8 first teamers we had missing against Warrington we’ll have to wait until next season for that elusive win

No need to rest anyone with a fortnight before the start of your next middle eights campaign.

I said after the Wigan loss that the season would most likely fizzle out with many pointless fixtures Whilst hiding behind the injury excuses Show me the coach and I’ll show you the team Defence is always the Mark of a team and it was always Radfords best feature Not anymore and not for a long time We are not consistent enough to win a GF Last one was 1991 I love the CC so I will always remember LR fondly The Derby should be our last win of 2018 We are the weakest team of the top 8 by a country mile

Not sure what is funnier. A. You believe Hull have been hiding behind the injuries B. You believe that Hull won a Grand Final in 1991 C. The derby will be our last victory this season.
Now live on SKY. Which kills off any hope of more tickets being sold, good job the club were quick off the mark last month with the promo and have got 15k sold already

We need a massive reaction after yesterday. Get at Rovers early, and with their minds on survival ,they won’t want to know. Rovers fans I have spoken to ,want Sheens to rest players and concentrate on the Middle 8’s. The stupid format the sport is in makes it a dead rubber . We can then move on and play our 7 friendlies to see the season out .

i agree with this - rovers won't want a couple of injuries (or more) to key players going into what is a new mini league table - the derby game means nothing to them except for the usual bragging rights. given what happened to them last time they were in the middle 8s as a superleague club they have every right to be cautious, even though i think they'll be absolutely fine.
tbf even the rovers reserves will have a good shot at us if we play anything like we did on sunday
