If mini and ellis are fit and we back up yesterday with the same commitment and enthusiasm we'll win I reckon. Stop kelly (easier said than done) and we'll definitely win. If paea loses his appeal I expect ellis to move to prop with whiting keeping his place, hadley missing out and bowden to the bench (or maybe start with bowden and ellis off the bench)

Plenty.

Rotterdam Terrace €20 each (Very restricted view)

Directions: From the KC, join the Clive Sullivan Way onto the A63 an then the M62. Exit onto the M18 and join the M1 South. In about 140 miles, take the M25 (Dartford) and then the M20 before taking the Channel Tunnel for France. Upon arriving in Calais, turn left into Belgium and follow signs for Holland. At Rotterdam, find suitable street parking and the turnstiles are 100 yards on your left.

It's a must win game for Rovers and one we could really do to win, they'll throw everything at us and I doubt we'll come out of it with the 2 points.

Seen this retweeted tonight
@benduke17: Just seen KR's Albert Kelly in Leeds and his leg does not look in a good state

Victory to us - theyre focusing on the cup game and that'll be their excuse when they dont make the eight

Mind games. He played 80 minutes yesterday so it can't have been that bad. Hope he does play Friday as I don't want any excuses from the dobbins

Of course. I expect "Ben" is simply referring to unsightly varicose veins. As a middle-aged woman I have sympathy.

Probably gone to see Danny McGuire's doctor. He'll be as fit as a Butchers Dog by Friday.

I hope we hammer them & it keeps them in the bottom 4, they can have their cup semi, I'd rather stay in the 8 even if we don't have what it takes to live with the top 4, at least there will be no way we can get relegated, it will be very interesting will the middle 8.

As much as I love the Hull v Rovers rivalry, I would much prefer that both clubs made the Super 8's. Possibly won't now, but a home tie v Rovers would generate c£150k more than a home game v Les Cats and that's some serious money. Also better for the City to have both sides doing well.

Obviously I'd always want for us to win and finish higher, but having a healthy, competitive rivalry provides a financial spin off for us to invest in further strengthening the Club/Team/Coach.

You are a rare breed amongst Hull FC fans. You can see the bigger picture and I applaud you for that.

How patronising.

They won't go down but it would be nice to see them sweat, seen as its their best team since they joined SL.

Still think wakey will be replaced by leigh

Depends on injuries & form or pressure on game day, could be anyone. Just fingers crossed we are not in the middle 8 mate.

I don't like it, everything seems to be our favour, its not the Hull way to win this and qualify for the 8's, they will take it to the last game (were Rovers have the slight advantage of playing after us).

Not sure how everything is in our favour. rovers have one of (if not the) best home records in SL this season. Really undecided on this one. Before sunday I had it down as a comfortable rovers win, now not so sure. If we turn up and play as we can we will win IMO as they can;t live with our pack, however we've done that so infrequently this season it seems unlikely so I expect a defeat by a score or two but us still to make the 8 and rovers not

Deary me. This has never been spun in Derby week before.

well he did leave the ground with his leg heavily strapped up and in a support device

Injuries and confidence I suppose, pressure is on Rovers to not only win, but try and get some points difference back.

Most of their good home wins were when Kelly and Campese played together.

Didn't he play the full 80? Can't believe Chester would have left him on the full game if he was injured, that would be madness.
