Why would I? CC is completely different to the league.

We already have

League position is the most important factor, but its definately sweet to beat the Dullers

Obviously if it were between beating your local rivals or silverware, silverware would come out top each time.

For us, this is just another game against SL opposition, they're nothing special, they just play in the same city as us.

Exactly. In the grand scheme of things, league position is way more important. But, when you're sat there with your mates waiting for the teams to come out, looking around and seeing a sea of Black & White/Red and White, you know it's still the big one, the game where you'll rejoice the most having won, or sulk the most having lost.

that may just be the worst excuse for a defeat ever IMO,



very close to call this one, both teams not firing on all cylinders, so its down to which set of players raise there games the quickest, who ever can can get off to a good quick start will take this IMO

Why Salford ? why not pick any other team ?

FWIW finishing as high as possible in the league beats winning the derbies. As Paul says after a few days after the game it don't mean jack anyway.

Since when did Rovers start playing in the NRL, though I'm sure they'd win it if they did

Without a doubt they would.

well i do, because you never know them two wins could stop you from over taking us as where you finish in the top 8 does matter these days. and we could be first you and you second you never know in rl anything could happen.

oh and 22 - 28

i too feel this could come down too whos playing better on the day close game so ill go hullfc 60 rovers 6

No difference between the 2 sets id say mate.

Agree with that.

As for the derby, I expect a Rovers win unfortunately.

28- 20 to the robins

I agree..should be a great build up and hopefully a great match.

FC 24 KR 16

Usually they are fairly close affairs , the two recent big wins were by the team that entered the match as the underdogs.

should and hopefully will be a good open game, as has been said form goes out of the window on these and will be whoever plays better on the day, but fc are a bit low on confidence at the mo so i will go with a rovers win by ten

Maybe so but I think Rovers fans do place more importance on and thats maybe due to being out of the top flight for a long time?

Either way I would say both teams are playing well within certain aspects of their game and I reckon it will be a close nervy affair.

If Vella and Briscoe are fit i can see us winning by 10 points.

Yeah, forget about previous results between the two sides. On derby day you throw the form book out of the window, its simply too close to call.

I would never predict a Saints Vs Wigan fixture for the same reasons. Perhaps Leeds and Bradford in the past, but we all know thats only an airport derby!

Nothing whatsover to do with that at all, I still felt the hurt when we got beat in the friendlies at the KC, when I KNEW we were going to cop a beating. Most of us who can go back a few years new how important a derby win was for both side to the point where we would fill Boulevard and Craven Park on Christmas day to watch the games.

I think the fans of either side who are ambivalent towards derbies are probably the ones who are recent fans who only knew the two clubs in different divisions and have had no personal history of meaningful meetings between us.

Can't see beyond a Rovers win at the moment



But as has been said, it's a derby and anything could happen. I mean, even Crocker could turn up

Clints got him tied up in his attic

I think he'd prefer his kinks to be kept private tbh
