With less then 6 days to go before the big [iGood Friday [/igame at [iCraven Park[/i its time to preview and discuss your thoughts on what might happen next Friday.

I think it will be a very close game with less then a single score between the teams. =#FF0000Rovers have made an inconsistant start to the season, bad home defeats by Huddersfield and Wakefield countered by great wins over Saint and Leeds, god knows which Rovers team will turn up for the Derby. =#000000Hull have been unstoppable at Home, but their away form has varied from a fantastic win at Saints to a hammerig at Wigan and the shock in Wrexham.

I think it will be a high scoring game with hopefully Rovers just edging it, but I'm not brave enought to put any money on it.

May the best team win!.

I think its very interesting that Agar has engaged in such a massive mind game before derby day, this 'lull them into a sense of false security by losing to a side that haven't won at home since last July' really is a gamble, lets see if it pays off!

Rovers seem to using the same tactic by failing to score during the first 50 mins in Perpignan

.

Interesting derby looming after two defeats.

Both teams out to make ammends and what better way than a derby victory.

After watching dulls defeat earlier this evening it doesn't take a genius to know we will attack their left hand defence and run at the old man and bomb both their wings be it Lynn, Hall or Briscoe....the result will be the same. Keep on top of their forwards and they will give away penalties. The job's a good 'un.

A lot of their fans are predicting Agar goes if they lose, bit of a double edged sword really but never mind......COME ON YOU REDS.

the only change to that could be Horne being back and we move Turner to centre.

strange derby though, both teams have beaten Saints, yet lose to teams who've only won 1 game each!

gonna be one of the most unpredictable ones i reckon

It*s going to be an 8-8 draw.......

SHould be an even game. I fear the worst though myself. Today was an utter embarrassment.

It'll be 0-0, we're both sh*te!!

I'll take a draw now !!

Anybody prepared to put their mortgage on the result?
There will be fireworks,no doubt about that at least.

I think either we'll edge a thriller or Hull will win at a canter. Hope it's the first.

Both sides have been pretty inconsistent so far this year so it's a really tough one to call. It'll come down to whichever side is willing put the most effort into the game IMO, in which case on past form it's a Rovers win.

FC..by 16

You're a more optimistic person than I.

Both teams will be fired up and hitting their straps after suffering losses...FC have the edge on recent performances imo

However not with recent derby performances IMO, we always seem to get out enthused.

Lot of changes to FC this year, and a few changes to KR, Cookie has always spanked us in the Derby, KR will miss him on Friday.

But perhaps not the key one?


I do think you're right though in that Cooke not playing will be a big plus for us as he always had a stormer.

Only bothers one half then goes missing...



Do look forward to him try to stop Hame, his defence is pants

We just need to sledge/niggle him and he will give us more metres than he will give you

You may be right



Depends which head he has on..we can never tell

His St Helens head or the one he has worn in every match since you mean.

Anyway according to your own board he is only a project anyway....and we now how the last project ended up.

im looking forward to the derby, gonna be a tough old game thats for sure.

He is no project..he has the capability to be devastating every game..he needs to channel his aggression...he is a very strong aggressive player..as I have posted on our board he is capable of winning or losing games at the moment..I believe he will settle and I am more than happy with the signing...for entertainment value if nothing else
