Of course your wrong, neither club remotely look like grand finalists, if you think just getting by at Leigh and beating a poor Wigan side makes KR look like grand finalists, and I doubt many honest FC fans would at present say we look anything like it either.
Hull certainly don't look GF finalists at the moment but I believe Hull KR have as good chance as any other in the top 4.
You say Wigan are a very poor side and yet they are 4th in the league (table doesn't lie) and have beaten Hull FC this season. Whereas Rovers have beat them on both occasions. (Home and away) Hull were also convincingly beaten by Catalan on both occasions this season whereas Rovers came within a whisker on both occasions of beating them, suffering defeats by just one point and two points respectively.
In my view Rovers have nothing to fear from any of those above them in the league, especially on home soil, and with a full or near full strengh side. You sound like someone that has a mouthful of sour grapes to chew on to be perfectly honest.
With regards to the forthcoming derby. This will be roughly somewhere between 80 and 100 derbies that I will have witnessed since been around the age 13 years old.
Long enough and with enough experience under my red and white belt for me to not predict with any certainty which way it will go. It really is on the day and who wants it the most when it comes to Derby's.
I sincerely hope it is Rovers that want it the most come Saturday at 3pm. I'm also certain that Fc fans will be hoping it is their side that want it the most on Saturday come 3pm..
I also believe it will be a tough encounter, especially in the opening quarter, with nothing left in the tank of every player of both clubs by the end of 80 minutes.
If Rovers play to their full potential and get their defence right on the day, I believe that their attacking flair will be more than enough to get the result they want. But as I say, it is a derby and simple things can make all the difference on the day.
