I would say at the moment it is 2 all in deserved victories , rovers 42-6 and last match at craven park both easily the best side.Hull in the first derby at Craven park was the best side and at the kc last year. The 2 at millenium stadium were close to call and good friday last year went to the death also first ever SL derby was a close call .Best victory /performance 42-6

But as usual the derby is impossible to call.


Happy days for RL in Hull.

whats people predictions?

Only seeing Hull twice on tv its difficult to say but if thats their normal form on both these performances i'd say Rovers comfortably....but derby matches are completely different and the underdogs generally rise to the occasion. Its also their cup final so i'll go with Rovers by six.

I think you'll find it's our friends east of the river that place all the importance on Derby wins, I could not care less tbh. I would be happy to lose them both and secure a top four finish.

One set of fans brag for a few days and then you move on so tbh Derby's are not the be all and end all for me.

I think it will be a tight game and both teams will be under plenty of pressure to perform.

Very hard one to call on current form though if pushed i would have to say Hull might just edge it.

A tight start to the game. Hull need to be ahead at half time to stand any chance. Cant see that myself. Once the backs of Rovers have the ball on a big wide pitch like the kc, it will be asta la vista baby. Can see Fox getting a hatful. My only worry would be Horne. But with Rovers dominating possesion that should put paid to him.

Prediction Hull 8 v 12 Rovers H/T
Hull 16 v 36 Rovers F/T

Survival, Consolidation, Two wins in the Derby every year - that was always the plan.



One set of fans have their few days (or 29 years, depending

) of bragging (though so few of you seem to care, It'll no doubt be quiet on here if you win on Good Friday) [iand[/i their club gets 2 league points - the things that actually help you finish higher up the league, rather than hypothetical pacts with the RL devil.*

[size=59*He looks like Maurice Lyndsay with horns - meet him at the crossroads and remember to take a fiddle. [/size

You keep telling yourself that.

You must have great expectations for your team then, if you would rather beat Hull twice this season and finish lower in the league!

I'd rather win both of them, and finish above the Sharks AGAIN tbh




Think this derby is the most anticipated since the first one in SL.

If any Hull thought different they need to ask they are supporting Hull FC.

I would be happy to lose both derby games if it meant we could finish in the top four.

If we can do both, than that's a bonus.

The obsession that some Hull and Rovers fans have for each other is embarrassing.

Again?

You think it was a regular thing, but the fact is that you have only finished once above Hull in the past 20 years!

Yes, again as we did last year





Do I

You say that as if us Rovers fans wouldn't do the same



If it's a choice between losing twice to Salford or losing twice to Rovers, who would you pick and why (and be honest)?

I see what you've done there, Hutchie living in the East, and having his sig dedicated to the Derby results for so long, and being your mate, I see what you mean now

I'd rather beat Rovers than Salford as it is a derby game but the importance of them is way too inflated. Some fans (especially Rovers) seem to place all importance of winning the two derby games, which is nonsense.

I'd rather beat Leeds and Saints than Rovers.

Just think, we could beat you in the Challenge Cup too and then you can be even happier!

Well and truely

If we win the derby how long before the excuse of them having a quick turnaround will pop up

cant wait to see "fat Sam" run

Will Mills be playing?

Erm... no. He can't get anywhere near our first team at the minute. Why do you ask?

i hope we're not building ourselves up for a almighty fall!!

Would be a damn sight better excuse then Justins last year. "Ohhh Its too loud at the KC"

Hard one to call this one. Rovers have the form at the moment so they would be slight favourites.
Also now that there are only 2 games between us (unless we get drawn in the cup or play-offs) it makes them more significant as well, when there were 4 derby games in a season it took the shine off it for me.
So hopefully it will be a good physical game with Hull winning by 8.
