Burns, Carlile, Caro, Cockayne, Costigan, Cox, Gardner, Green, Hall, J.Hodgson, Horne, Keating, Larroyer, Lovegrove, Netherton, Poore, Salter, Welham, Weyman

One change from the Warrington game, Poore in for Adam Walker.


James Child the ref...

Eden's toe must have broken again during his Gateshead cameo..........

Get ready for some baffling decisions for both sides.

Ben shouldn't be dropped from FB as he's been great since moving there. If he was put back on the wing how could dropping Caro or Gardner be justified?

The worst of a very bady bunch but hopefully will not be a decisive factor in the result either way (even tho we'd both accept the win if he was)

Hope ganson isn't VR as it's your turn to benefit this season

Silverwood

Makes me suspicious that they haven't named the 2nd one

Its Ian Smith. See the post above yours.

Ganson hasn't shown his face this side of Hull since the error last year.

Ben has been good at full back since he came in but great is really pushing it. He cost us the cup game but his faults do seem to be overlooked a lot easier than Edens

To be fair last play options cost us the cup game I've been surprised how well he's done some great try saving tackles I think Eden offers slightly more in attack but it would be harsh on cockayne to be dropped

Come on Rovers lets turn up for this one!

Ex Rovers chairman as match commissioner in the derby, can't make this stuff up

Looking forward to this. Forward battle should be fun.
Our pack is improving all the time. Won at wire without the Walker bros Langley Cox Poore Carlise. So we have plenty of depth. Will miss Langley in this game. Only missed 3 tackles this season. Costigan should make a mess of their front row. Some of his tackling in the middle is savage.
Hope Burns can repeat his wonder performance at wire. If he does we win.

Burns got himself into a right state last year @ CP. Needs a cool head. Something which doesn't come naturally. Same with BC.

Like to think Poore too might have learned from his spells on the sideline.

Might be busy down @ disciplinary HQ next week.

It's Rovers v Hull, the RFL will be licking their lips.

Yes can see some 3 match bans for high shots, with 2 match bans for the opposition player for 'obstructing' the tackler, with Pearson & Hudgell sent to sit on the RFL naughty step

U19s certainly got the ball rolling last year...are any of them still suspended?

Comedy gold. I bet feka, paea and carvell are papping themselves at the thought of facing fearsome nev

Oh no! I'm finished. Another victim of Jake's vicious mocking smiley face post.

Feka Carvell Paea and Costigan should get together and compare careers. Costigan can show them his State of Origin jumpers and his Grand Final winners medal.
Feka can show them his t shirts from completing the all you can eat challenge at Wheelhouse. Carvell his Wembley winners medal......you fill in the rest Jake.

costigan his washed up hasbeen award and his NRL all comers eat all you can pizza trophy.

Now now Jake we all know Gareth Ellis is the current holder of the washed up has been award. Though Hull FC themselves run him a close second.

Pitch looking great ahead of the derby.

Although they got panned 56-10 or something, Costigan was immense against the Kiwi's at Headingley in the World Cup, he'll go well for us and his defence, particularly around the ruck is invaluable to us.

I think we'll scrape a tight game tomorrow, but only if we control the field.

Kicking game and territory is of a must and although I'm the only one to say it I think if Keating rather than the show pony Burns turns up, we' ll win.

Clearly when we get panned by sixty I will retract this.
