As mentioned already, Hudgell will be in charge of the dressing room and he's pretty darn good.'"
Hall - McKinnon,
Webster - Yeaman,
Green - Horne,
O'Hara - O'Meley,
Clinton - Moa
Galea - Westerman
Think that's about even for absentees.

| Why is Horne on the list.
He played and scored twice on Friday didn't he.
Was he injured during the game?

Not really. Briscoe was struggling and had the Physio out to him 3 times. You missed Heremaia too, although I did originally as we have so many out I've lost count now. Compared to us, you're in a pretty solid position as Clinton will be fit apparently.
Should we be hoping to Hicks as referee - he certainly had a good grasp of the decision for Cas's winning try, a better one than Sandercock having seen the SL full time show last night? Missed your forward pass but touch judge did too.

| Love the build up to a derby game, but can never call it.
Lots of doubts over starting line ups etc - can see you guys getting the win to be honest but i prefer to look at Easter as a whole - if we get 1 win out of the weekend then I will be happy, regardless of who it is against

Bit risky playing with a neck injury, did he come through unscathed?

Same for me, tbh. It might be false memory, but I've got a feeling we usually get 2 points from 2 games over Easter - haven't checked back though. I'd prefer Rovers won the derby and got the points there, but at this point I aren't choosy.
Little things can decide these games, an odd bounce, an early injury unbalancing the team - If Dobson or Lynch, as captains and key players, turned an ankle in the first few minutes, it'd shift the odds heavily.
Even when we had our run of 6 from 7, 4 of the wins were by 6 points or less. Nowt can be taken for granted.

Spot on there about Dobson and Lynch. Lynch has been fantastic for us, and as I pointed out on Friday night to friends, if we lost him now without Moa and Omeley we would be screwed. Same with Dobson for you. He is so influential, if you Lost him for some time your season would be over. This is a big game for both sides as I feel both sides with lose on Monday, as the derby will take too much out of both sides

| I also believe if Moa was to fly back in time for the game that would swing it heavily in our favour, our pack is just a little bit light at the minute

Why will we lose on Monday, to Salford? I think that's our 2 points from the weekend to be quite honest.

| Games are usually won up front and with our injuries I feel Rovers pack will dominate, on the back of that they have a halfback who can capitalise on that with his passing, running and kicking. Form is something you can forget about in these games, Rovers always seem that bit more enthusiastic for the derbies too.
That said we have a resilience about us these days and have key players that do long minutes and should also have a couple of players back. Factor in home advantage and the fact we are full of confidence and we have a game I really can't call.
I think there will be less the an 6 in it, maybe a 1 point game, maybe a draw. Right now I would probably back a Rovers win, just!

Have a look at the league table. They are above you and are at home, they will not exert as much energy on Friday either. They can be really good one week then poor the next, in the games I have seen them I have been impressed

They've beat Bradford when they were poor, London, Widnes and yourselves. Better get that Superleague leaders shield engraved ready for them.

They were also the better side against Saints, but poor refereeing cost them. After speaking to a hull player about them, he was really impressed and thought they would beat a lot of sides this year

Oh yeah sorry forgot about that. All you need is good refereeing from now until the end of the season and you'll top the tree. Seriously though, don't think all you have to do is turn up at Salford and you'll get the points, maybe that's what the players thought at Cas. Apart from Widnes and Wakey every other team could beat anyone

| Salford play some really good attacking rugby and attack the fringes. From what I have seen of Rovers, that is where your defence has been weak. Salford will move you pack around and tire them out so that might be trickier than you think

| Salford won't be trickier than I think - I fully expect to get turned over. I was thinking that when I got my tickets on Saturday, "wtf am I doing this for?" was my precise thoughts at the time.

I know we'll get beat at Huddersfield but I'm still going. That's what support is

Sorry, was more in reply to Dum-Dum than anything.
As mentioned elsewhere, it is really tight this year, and if you dont turn up you get beat, maybe Widnes aside

| hulls good defence will be tested by our attacking flair (24points to us) our woeful wide defence will be made a complete laughing stock (46 point to ul) our only hope is u get all confused with which side to score down and end up running down the middle. im going but with the least hope iv had going to any derby since our return. Also whats the weather forecast rain or snow will help us
