You care Frankie. It's ok to care.

There's a bit of me that would like Hull to win tonight if it was guaranteed they'd lose in the final yet again, the pain of another trip back from London knowing the monkey was firmly on the back would be quite sweet.

The worry is that if they win this one then they will be favourites to win the cup so I'll be an honourary pie for the night.

You were on about benchmarks not whether I want you to win tonight or not a bit like Barham Red I'd prefer you to get beat in the final more

That's a bit rich as MMJ points out.

Your club (not even opposition fans who may say things but have zero power), not only voted for our demise, but actively lead a campaign to seek support from other clubs to vote for it too.

I imagine if the same scenario occurred today, your current chairman would do exactly the same.

This, unfortunately, is the nature of the Hull KR club's administration. Their main goal is to beat Hull, we are your benchmark and always will be. Whether we're crap like the last few seasons, or competing near the top, our success/failures dictates the level of ambition at Rovers - hence the "unpalatable truth" in bullet points 2 & 3 in Hudgell's message the other week.

The thing is, I can't tell whether this is a knowing attempt to get bites, or whether through ritualized repetition you have come to believe your propaganda. Which is worse, I wonder?

Over the last couple of seasons they've have gone from clown car (tbf, the team was never really dreadful, it was more the dysjunction with Pearson's PR) to steamroller. Fair play - genuinely.

I'm increasingly resigned to them winning at least one of the two finals. They just look the part; more so than anybody else. There's still time for the wheels to come off, but it is rapidly running out. Anything can happen in knock-out football, of course...

I wish I was even half that confident. Tonight will be the first real test of this team's mettle & we get to see what they're like in the big, high pressure games. That's the big unknown at the moment.

Talk about self delusion its 2016 nobody really cares about you your not a top club we only enjoy beating you because your our rival exactly the same as you do us listen to Radfords interviews prior to a derby you a benchmark your having a laugh Wigan , Leeds are benchmarks

No you don't care, do you? That's why you've been on the Wigan forum begging them to beat us.

And it's "you're" not "your" and "it's" not "its".
