If we play to our potential we will win, however we've had a nasty habit in recent years of losing games we should win. Look at 2019 - we lost at home to Huddersfield, Wakefield, Salford and Catalans.

Think they’ll throw everything at us early on. Hopefully it doesn’t knock us too much. Don’t think it’ll be the mullering some are predicting either way.

Through the annals of time, this particular fixture is proven to be so unpredictable, having seen teams from either side of the river come unstuck with a favourites tag, or an underdog tag, as I said earlier, with a large gulp, a Hull win for me.

Some of you will be saying derbies are unpredictable just to cover yourselves but in all honesty you will win by at least 30 , i am really impressed with the squad that has been put together .

34-12 I think after a close 55 mins , our class and power will tell .

yes but even without Mao,Ellis and Kelly this is our strongest team and squad for years.
Last years squad included players who were well passed their better years.
I know its a Derby but to have fans on here not confident of beating this current HKR team thats what i dont understand.
They as usual will start fast and probably score first but we have too much power in the team.
Just hope Danny Houghton doesnt give too many penalties away as in the Leeds game our discipline was good

no, we are saying (on both sides of the river) that Hull FC v Hull KR is an unpredictable game, always has and will be.

On paper Hull FC win by a decent margin, but on paper St Helens would demolish Hull in the CC Semi Final of 2005, but they didn't.

I just hope for a decent game.

Rovers are targeting this game like no other in recent years
They beat us twice last year, without the likes of SKD
You are on record I think as saying Smith is the better coach
We are without 3 key players
We have form in underperforming in an overhyped home game
I have read that we are a dull side with size but no skill, our backs turn like oil tankers, we have no plan B after Sneyd's kick to the corner, they have better backs, Fonua and Houghton are unfit, Connor not a 6,short of a prop, clueless coach and arrogant fans. I mean, what could go wrong?

No fairamo?

sounds like he is injured but good for Swift if its true

INOUT
Shouldn't he have to play a reserve game like everyone else?

Patched up, makeshift team then with limited match fitness where Rovers are strongest. Oh no.

If we can’t beat that team comfortable, we’ll never beat them !

Ko delayed till 8 problems with turnstiles.

Come on the lads cant wait us by 20.

delayed, on Sky?

Yeah I know I thought that.

depending on the reason, but potentially very embarassing for the KCOM as a facility.

no hullfc live this season (radio)

No flaming way did Livett ground that ball, every angle shows he didn’t, he lost it and Carlos had his hands underneath as well. Utter joke of a video ref.

as usual HKR score first
Too slack by Connor

Thats better
time to start putting pressure on them

I bet Johnstone is wondering what he has done wrong, Houghton looks asleep. Swift is no much more awake.

Hull are trying to baffle Robers with one man rugby and the inside ball
Mmmmm

f-ck me
Discipline gone out of the window, we are much better and faster with Johnstone at 9
