I apologise on behalf of bal it ceases to be funny when we say it does

Sorry!

I would like to apologise for Bal not knowing the difference between "been" and "being" and also lion cubs and the sort of cup awarded as a trophy in a sporting contest.

Huge decisions gone against us at crucial times have cost us points on the board, we have had a bad year with injuries which is still on going, so to be where we are pushing for a 6th place finish is pretty damn good.

Bitter over you being seventh in the league you mean?

Bitter, we are 2 points behind you and in the cup final?

Honestly which position would you rather be in?

Well your average league placing over the last 5 years suggest you may be slightly jealous.

I can assure you I am not even slightly jealous of Hull KR. Leeds and Warrington, maybe.

Well we do consistently finish the season better than you.

Just Leeds and Warrington, not all the other bigger clubs than you?

Do you?

How far are you going back?

Since I have followed Hull 1988, I bet we have finished above you about 75% of the time.

As it stands the only other clubs situation this season I would swap is Wigan.

I mentioned the last 5 years as not to dig deep into the past as your supporters firmly believe we live.

Consistently apart from last season, you mean? You have still achieved nothing unless finishing above Hull is your definition of success.

I see no reason to be jealous of the likes of Huddersfield, Saints or Catalans although I guess you could add Wigan to my list.

So your not jealous of the success that Saints have had in SL or even Bradford for that matter?

Some people are so stupid, they don't even realise an whole forum is mocking them.

The reason we, Rovers fans, love winning a derby is because all the monotonous Hull fans (sweeping statement implied at the ones who fit the criteria) frep off for a little while, leaving us free of our mental weariness.

You can have that one on me Edith, sorry if this statement caused offense!

What she said

So what your saying is we were average last season but still finished 11 clear points of your lot. I would love to know what that says about your team then.

Stop living in the past or if you do pick the season you finished 11th or 12th

It says that last season Rovers were about as good at rugby league as F.C. Aces is at using the quote facility.

According to Mullen you have a few out for Sunday.

Withers, paea, Paterson, Horne, brown, welham and o hara.

Lovegrove and griffin doubtful.

Paea went off injured against Wigan. Withers is banned. Brown, Horne and Paterson have been missing for the past few games. Welham and O'Hara wont play this season. Griffin played for Gateshead last weekend i believe, is a possible. News on Rhys. Shall we use it as an excuse now?

We'll be struggling to compete up front then, I fear. Shame, because it'd be a big 2 points for us. Still, you never know, dig deep, give their all etc, etc.

ET, J. Hodgson, Walker, Mika, Cox, Netherton maybe?
Bench - Beaumont, Hepi/Ollet, Carlile, erm...

Hopefully Lovegrove or Griffin will make it.

Another option might be to put Burns to 9, J. Hodgson to 13 and use Hall at 6. With Brown out though, that'd mean a recall for Caro.

Still think its 50/50, but we do now seem to have the edge into pack.

Still worried about Dobson and Eden though.

Think it will be close.

Hull Win for me. All our performances have come from a good go forward and without Paea I don't think we'll be able to match Hull's pack.
