| Granted Derbies are notorious for throwing up upsets.
However, if I were Morgan I'd be telling the players that they will never have a better chance of posting 50 points and putting the record Derby score out of reach.
I expect us to be ruthless.

| Quote ="PAUL M"I don't think any RL players in the world fear their opposition, silly talk imo.
Rovers should win looking at form, in fact the should win by around 20 points. That said when you beat us 42-6 we could not have been in better form and you could not have been in worse. Over the years I have watched rugby and in particular the derbies form is not always important and upsets often occur as it's a unique one off game. That said I am not hopeful, we are not a bad side it's just that we have no confidence and ceratin players know they are going, should we raise our game for this one match it could be a belter, if not it will be an easyish win for Rovers.'"
That will the same at all clubs.
I am confident of a Rovers victory and if Cooke plays a convincing one. Saying that i have seen to many derbies where the form book has been turned upside down and whilst confident would never rule out the unexpected.

| Quote ="Mrs Barista"icon_lol.gif Not being overdramatic, but we shipped 40 at Cas and they had 5 tries disallowed and were outplayed for 70 minutes at home vs an extremely average Celtic side.
Who exactly is going to engineer an FC victory? Our tactically astute and highly motivational coach? Our scrum half (either Thorman, possibly the worst player in the irregular hoops since the nineties and unceremoniously dragged off the pitch at Cas, yet to return, or a hooker)? Our ball-busting front row (oh, that's right, Dowes, Cusack, Lauaki, possibly Thackray, all injured - and not really fearsome anyway)? We are playing the worst rugby I can remember for years. The only thing you can say is at least we are consistent, having beaten only Salford, Celtic and Cas since our 5 from 5 start, and not playing well even in those wins.

Not at all Hull FC have announced most if not all there signings for 2010. Hull KR have many irons in the fire and not announced anything and likewise not told any player that they are not required next season. IMO that's the way to run a Football club. Not announcing every signing you have in an attempt to appease the supporters when your team is playing poorly. Come the off season when news is thin on the ground and your supporters are looking at the news to keep season tickets ticking etc that's when signings should be announced and likewise signing players during the season lets those players that are still fighting for contracts know that they are no longer required and then suddenly the fight and vigour inside there bellies is lost.
Hull FC from the top down need to take a long hard look at the situation they find themselves in. The fans of Hull FC also need to stop jumping on every announcement from Hull KR like there is some substantial ulterior motive. Spend some time concentrating on your own club. Your board are the bad guys not Rovers hierarchy.

Does that apply to Saints and Leeds then for announcing who has singed during the current season?
Btw our recruitment has not yet finished, probably 3 more to come, two of them British.

Firstly, you either don't follow the game very closely or your so keen to take a pop shot that you merly ignore, but its pretty well known that we are far from finished in terms of recruitment.
Also, all clubs including Hull KR announce the signing of players when they make them, or usually very shortly afterwards (ie, after a major game maybe). It just so happens that we are making a lot of signings this year due to the position we currently find ourselves in.
And I hate to tell you, but the reason those fans are jumping on statements from Hull KR is because of the significant level of rumour regarding the long term stability of your club. Not saying its true, not saying I want it (my opposition to Hull KR only goes as far as banter, I would never be pleased to see anything happen to a RL club and thus its fans, see my posts on Celtic), but that is why there is a lot of comment on it at the moment. FWIW, I believe that the Hull KR management are more than resourceful enough.

Exactly and plenty of sides have been turned over this season having been expected to win.
I think everyone at Rovers - players and fans - should remember that we're much more likely to be beaten by hull, than saints or leeds were by salford.
