what are the bookies saying about this game?

Pretty even according to the Bookies.

The bookies obviously dont know about all of kr's injurys

Who is going to ms3 on sunday ?

Nah. It's smelly and my spectacles don't reach that far.

Will await your next excuse for the following derby at MS3 Craven Park.

In September?

Can't see it. For that to happen Rovers would probably need something against Yourselves or Leeds. With Paea, O'Hara, Cox, Welham, Patterson, Withers, Horne, Brown, and maybe Lovegrove & Griffin all missing I can't see us getting anything on Sunday.

Maybe we'll have a few bodies back for Leeds on the 16th.

Never missed a Golf Stand derby, despite the smelliness, and I'll be back if the wonky blue stand ever gets opened. Complete with obligatory milk bottle for weeing. So you've only Hull City Council to blame...

What's this wonky business about?

Why not?

Home advantage
Revenge theme a key motivator
First choice settled HB pairing
2 weeks more rest than us in the last month
Sean Gleeson, who was after international selection per-season all fresh and ready

You said you were super-bullish about Rovers v Warrington, how can this exuberance have suddenly evaporated with the loss of just Paea and Withers? Odd.

Cox Paea, Withers and Lovegrove all played against Warrington, We have a chance all four could be missing on Sunday.

We've no chance against The Best Half Back Partnership in Super League (© General Zod.)

Withers that's being binned off and Lovegrove being horse-traded for shamed/sacked Cockayne? I'll give you Paea (oh wait, you've given him to us) but surely the rest are not significant at home against a team struggling for 8th when you were so confident of turning over Wire on heir own muck a couple of games back?

Lovegrove for Cockayne...........Have you been taking something in your tea. Lovegrove has been great this season especially in the 2nd Row deputising for Patterson and I'd expect him to be our left 2nd rower in 2014.

We offered Wakefield Caro and £12.5k BTW

Also going into the Warrington game we'd won five games in a row. Now we've lost two in a row and are playing the CC finalists who've won the last two. Two completely contrasting form books.

Not at all. You should listen to Radio Humberside if you want an appraisal of FC, we're simply not good enough in the league, full stop, and have had our leg lifted by 2013 signings. Rovers were moral victors against the table-toppers last time out. I'd say form is pretty much unchanged, just that you'll be the more fresh of the 2 teams with home advantage, hostile crowd and the luxury of a settled experienced 1st choice HB pairing.

That's not much. How much is the new investment worth? Was going to be finalised next week, about 2 months ago IIRC.

Was it the best pairing when it was dobson and green ? I assume burns n hall will be the best next year

Get with the program. We've signed Kris Keating on a 3 year deal.

Is that a done deal now ?

Good old Easty, making stuff up and listening to voices in his head.

Lie

I agree with Gentle, he is the best in SL currently. I personally think that is a poor reflection on SL though. Hopefully our Half Back school will resolve this in a few years.

Shame we didn't get Dobson. Would have being great for our game, and Rovers fans would have had the biggest tantrum in history.
