We are not actually at full strength, Houghton is likely back but Peea is still a doubt. Manu and Hadley will be out, and Hadley has been one of our best players this year.

That said on paper, we should win imo. But it's an easter derby, so I might as well take said piece of paper and take a match to it.

I just hope it's not like the good friday game of 2016, when we should have won but run out of steam and lost.

Expecting Hull to win, but anything can happen. Just hope that we give a good account of ourselves.
Be intresting to see who he plays at Wigan, given what happened last year.

Oh I'm fairly sure Hull will win, and would be surprised if they didn't fairly comfortably

But we have to hope. After all I've been to enough derbies expecting Hull to win and we did instead, and vice versa.
More than anything I want it to be a cracking game, that shows why this is the best derby. And Rovers to sneak it of course

Think that one may have gone over your head slightly there old boy

I don`t quite believe the old "Form goes out of the window" with derby matches but hey, its a game of rugby and anything can happen.. Always enjoy the Hull derby and have missed it over the last few years. Favorite memory has to be David Hodgsons match winner down the touchline in 2012? Was brilliant to watch, must of been heart breaking for the FC fans.

That was a great moment.looked dead and buried with not long left. Sharp showed him the line thinking between him and FB they had Disco covered but Russell was well out of position . Sharp took most of the flak for that but for me the FB was most at fault?

Really, someone should have mentioned this, having about 10% of the cap absent must really hurt you.

I haven't the energy for her drama's

Neither team have real injury problems as it stands (Could change with the 17 tomorrow) so no injury excuses from either team.

Pressure is rightly on us though.
