Here we go again...



Best case for us I think would be if Talanoa and Fonua are fit again. Then I reckon Radford will go with:



Shaul

Talanoa

Yeaman

Logan

Fonua

Tuimavave

Sneyd

Taylor

Houghton

Bowden

Ellis

Minichiello

Manu



Watts

Pritchard

Green

Washbrook





Weather forecast at the moment is dry. Big game for both teams

Same but swap Logan for naughton and put fonua to centre.

That team is more then good enough to beat kr, our forwards alone will hopefully set the platform against krs light pack.

If we match or exceed KR for Derby enthusiasm and intensity we will do ok. Anything less than that and we will get what we deserve.

P&O Ferries are running a couple of excursions for Hull fans. Only a few places left.

If that's the wingers, Rovers will just put high kicks up to the wingers and cause us massive problems.



Talanoa shouldn't play on the wing again, unless we are short, lacks too many basic wingers skills to play there.

Bentham's ref for this one.

Agree, got to start this one with the right tempo and sustain it. Rovers are good at out enthusing us in the Derby. A game we should be favourites to win, but give them a sniff and they could win it, especially after their win yesterday.



I doubt they'll be no more than a score in it either way.

Every one of us are hoping and praying that our players are up for this one, the dark side fans don't have to, it's a given they will be sweating blood to beat us! Why should that be?

They are saying the same about us. However, I think we've won three out of the last four so reckon it's their turn.

Couldn't agree more and those previously sayomg putting him at centre miss his other obvious failing.



Micheals and Carlos played on the left against Rovers in the friendly and worked extremely well together. Talanoa has being fairly dissapointing overall and his defensive frailty outweighs his attacking prowess IMHO.

I can't see Radford dropping Yeaman, he needs to play it safe and whilst it's a retrograde step Yeaman and Micheals on the left is far more defensively sound than Carlos and Talanoa.

Even if Fonoa is picked that side is still a concern until someone figures out why those inside are not doing their job defensively. Micheals has being a lamb to the slaughter far too often.



ATEOTD we need to dictate the pace and how the game is played. If we allow them to keep turning our pack around and don't pressure their kicker we'll tire and put ourselves at risk of our forwards falling off the cliff. Radford just has to recognise BEFORE a player is fooked and interchange him.

I have a really bad feeling for this one

We'll lose this one and the 2 after it.
