If horne is fit, does he play and if so what position.

Who would you drop for him? I wouldn't rush him back as there's no need to. Shaul had a good game at fullback, DJ and Miller are working well together in the halves and look set to be our first choice half back pairing next season. He'll get his chance when injuries occur.

Difficult one as shaul had yet to be tested in defence especially in a big game, if ge has a nightmare against rovers, would he still play him in the final?

If this happens who plays FB? Horne who wont be match fit.

If he us fit id be tempted to have him on the bench, not sure instead of though.

Yeah if Richard Horne is fit I'd bring him off the bench just for some game-time. He could be needed at Wembley.

Expect us to be going all out to win this, especially after this mornings tabloid story. Think Gentle will go with the same 19 man squad we had for Widnes (unless we picked up any minor injuries). Win or lose I would then expect to see 4-5 players rested for the Salford game.

Totally agree with this. Same team as last week then expect 5 or 6 rested against Salford and we can still get the job done. We have the likes of Bowden, Green, Crookes, Johnson, Hadley,Horne and James Cunnigham(if both fit)

I cannot believe people stating they are not bothered about losing, when it could mean not making the playoffs. This is one of the most vital Derby's we have played IMO

I dont think its so much about not caring about winning/losing its more about getting through it unscathed.A lot of people are concerned about our key players getting targeted.Dont want a repeat of 2008 going into a CC final with no halfbacks

I think we are all worried about that and we do seem to pick up bad injuries in derbies. However we have to go all out for the win because we need the league points and we need to be in good form going into the cup final.

Apart from Hornes unusual foot injury from the Magic game, I don't think we have come off that badly injury wise in derbies recently.

The Derby is extremely important to me and I desperately want us to win this game.

Just to get Richard Goldspink off our backs eh Gaz. haha

Ive just rang the shop and they said still plenty of tickets available , im going to buy 2 tomorrow when I get back home from my break but if anyone is selling 2 just let me know.

Heard Ben Cockayne being registered this week in time for Sunday, Rhys Lovegrove going t'other way. Thoughts?

It'll give us another song to sing.

Crazy if true and cant see why they would let lovegrove go and want that racist idiot back ?

Probably rubbish, my first thought when I heard it was Faumauina, is there a transfer deadline as such? You're right though, offering any contractual consideration for a player convicted and then transgressing further would be embarrassing lunacy, if it were Lovegrove it would be incredible.

Players have to be registered before round 20

mind games starting?

BBC Humberside Sport ‏@HumbersideSport 23m
Hull KR prop Mickey Paea is out of Sundays derby with Hull FC with a knee injury

wouldn't put it past rovers to name him in the squad

Not really. He did not complete the game at Wigan .So could be true. Plus it would have been diffucult for him to play with him signing for you next year. I mean what if he knocked on on his own line or fell off tackle and you scored. Questions would be asked.

Only by idiots.

Plenty of them about, Sheldon, plenty of them about .

They're indeed, best to ignore them.

Didnt stop Galea on Good Friday

I'm afraid your sarcasm will be wasted on him.......
