This Humberside Derby has a Hull FC victory written all over it.
On paper the West side of the city are underdogs, however a desperate Chairman and a coach under immense pressure coupled with restless frustrated fans threatening a financial boycott due to the poor performance of their team I think will be the fortitude that gets the West side of the city over the line.
A financial boost for Chairman Adam Pearson after admitting financial issues is now having to pay back the Government’s “Covid” loan.
The victory would only paper over the cracks with an underperforming squad with around twenty of that squad out of contract come the end of the season , financial worries aside the West side of the City would want nothing better than a victory over their neighbours who sit above them in the league table.
