I heard that and wondered what he was on about he must have great bit of skill mixed up with controversial circumstances

It was probably one of the least controversial fixtures we've had this year.

Rovers points difference is -31 FC's points difference is -16, urgo just an 8 point win in the derby overturns the points difference, so a good win in the derby would leave FC likely needing to win all there 3 remaining games, That said Warrington have Wigan, Saints, Cas and Wakey left so they may only have 1 more win in them.
Catalans sit on 20 points but with 3 away games Salford, Widnes and leeds and a home tie against Huddersfield clearly they're not safe and their points difference of +14 could easily go well south yet. In summary Lee Radford could be right 2 wins may be enough, 1 might be, but the same can be said for all 4 teams.

To be fair after I had posted I thought I would check the PD to see what it looked like now and was surprised at how close ourselves, Hull, Warrington and Catalans were. A big win or loss for one of us can have a major impact on our season.

I agree, If one of us has a huge points win now its as good as a bonus win (if such a thing existed)

Hopefully he'll say goodbye.

Think the derby will decide who gets top 8. So that's you guys then

Come on. It's a cliche but the form book counts for nothing when it comes to a derby.

In all honesty, I cannot see the dark side beating Wakefield this Sunday, 4 days after being comprehensively outplayed by the same opposition for 55 of the 80 minutes last night. Unless of course, the commentary from RH was painting a false picture. The stats from the game, reflect the justified Wildcats victory and their margin of superiority in the second half.

The talk a fortnight ago from Radford was about taking positives from the league defeat to Leeds and what they were going to do to Leeds in the reverse cup fixture with their home support behind them and the performance on the night was worse than the first one.

I'll be surprised if lightning doesn't strike twice here. You have the re energised Wildcats with some half decent new players, now full of confidence and still playing for pride and to impress an RL coaching legend. They will be playing once again against a beat up and knackered Dull Fc, low on form, confidence, energy and creativity and playing for a coach who has hardly inspired anyone with his tactical nous to date and who has been born with an unfortunate charisma bypass.

I watched it and for 20 minutes it looked like a rout, Wakey were awful. Paea and Watts went off and Hull dissolved. Once Wakey got a try they gained confidence and Hull just went into their shell. I really can't see Wakey backing that up but if they get at them early and get a couple of scores on the board the natives will get on the teams back and anything can happen. Ellis being out will be a massive loss.

Yeah, more than likely.

Hull will beat Wakey.

We need as ever, to ignore them.

Our destiny is now is now in our own hands.

Make the eight, get knocked out, win the CC,mildly rebuild for next season.

Call me picky but, you wouldn't actually get knocked out of the top 8

Watching Wire tonight and they looked a real handful. Gonna be a tough one in the cup.

Hull by 30

Gotta be in it to win it.

Depend which Wire turn up on the day.

And which Rovers turn up.

Anyone tried for tickets yet?

yeah, apparently my account is not linked to my season pass, despite buying cup tickets online before. E-mailed and waiting for a response

Same here, but come on, this is Rovers we are talking about. Did you expect anything different?

e-mailed me back within half an hour, all sorted Southern Terrace booked

Forgot about that, for once Rovers ticket website worked remarkably well.

Had to pay the £4.50 idiot tax as there's no way I'll remember to collect my ticket on Derby Day.

We need to make the South Stand just like the East Stand, turn this into a home fixture for us.

Again, as someone who has massively criticised the club for bad ticketing in the past, I feel I must recount another good recent experience.

One of The Skein bought an online ticket for the Catalans game and chose the option to add it to his season pass, when he got to the turnstile his card was swiped and it worked!

Same here, amazing!
