I think there may be a few upsets in this round. do these games usually go to form or are there many upsets? is the neutral unfamiliar venue a bit of a leveller?

anyways i might have a wee look through some historical results later but i'll go for a weekend of a few shocks, but not us hopefully

Salford
Cas
Wigan
Wakey
Giants
FC

I think so, the last derby that was so hotly tipped for a Hull win was in 2007, think Hull were on an 8 match winning streak, we were looking to avoid bottom position and I think the result was pretty one sided.

On the game, the Campese gamble is massive, cant see the point my self, I'd rather have seen him have a full match at a lower level first (if that's possible). I think it will either be us by 6 or Hull by plenty

Not sure wether you posted it but it was stated that Campese has been brought back early last couple of times and suffered??????

I'd blanked that 2007 game from my memory! Thanks for the reminder



Think it was G Horne who romped over for us that day! Seem to remember it was fairly late on, and there weren't many of us Hull fans left. Could be mistaken though!

Campese is a good player , but he wont be match fit and has played few games the last year, am sure we will get in his face and make sure to test out his dodgy knees,

I always fear the worst in derbies and this year is no different. Never enjoy until it's over (if we've won).
Rovers do have points in them, as proved at Cas.
Hope we approach the game as if we were playing the top team in the league. It's a potential banana skin to me.
We're going into the game as favourites, so it's a test of our mindset as well.

It was washbrooke, and he punched the air on his way over.

Haha, good lad. Hope he does the same Sunday, just with the result reversed

-8 at bookies Hardly backs up your big an under dog remark does it

Suits them mate,

The first game has been played at a frenetic pace but two mediocre teams on show.

Are Salford appealing their points deduction?

I would reckon so, it's koolcash he will think he's done no wrong, probably offering bribes to make it happen.

Reckon it'll get doubled after what he's had to say this week.

Thought this was going to be the best game of the weekend. Tad one sided so far.

Cas don't seem to living with the pace of the game, same with westerman!

Crooks having a nightmare. Still can't tackle

Sloppy tackling from Cas there

That's more like it from Cas. Great try.

What a team try from cas!

Jesus that was amazing

Come on cas

Get in Cas

Classy cas! It's brilliant to see momentum change a game!

What a turnaround
