And since then you've won precisely what?

The Clive Sullivan Trophy although you could win it back should you go to Craven Park and win by more than 40. Seems unlikely.

But the point I was making was that the idea that Rovers 'not too long ago' took a taxi of supporters to Salford is a complete nonsense.

Sixteen years ago in 2007 a Paul Cooke inspired Rovers went to the Willows and won with over 2,000 fans from East Hull.

That's more than the home support from 3/4 years previously, where were they all hiding?

With the utmost respect to the great man himself..."The Clive Sullivan Trophy"?!?!

That's lost by whichever of the two Hull teams is the most garbage during that particular season.

If you'd like to go back however many years you want to, in order to score points against me, as a Hull FC fan, then feel free. I'd be interested to know which team Roslyn has presented the trophy to most.

After the million pound game I couldn't care less if Hull kr beat us for the rest of eternity. I obviously don't feel this way about any other team. It's  just that I know that an eternity of losses would never tarnish the best day of my rugby life.

Just hope the weather's nice

On the subject of Ros Sullivan, last night's episode of Great Coastal Railway Journeys is worth checking out on iPlayer. Michael Portillo calls into Hull again and interviews Ros along with Hull's official club historian Bill Dalton about the great man's career.

I think this could be the most entertaining game of the weekend 

[Wolfey Rovers]

When Is a tackle held? I thought that was legitimate from Watkins. His arms haven't touched the ground and is allowed to fight to put the ball down. Interesting decision 

[Futtocks]

Hull KR - one chance, one try.

[Wolfey Rovers]

Great support play from kr!

[Futtocks]

Great break from Croft, and Budgie's in under the posts.

[Wolfey Rovers]

Mikey Lewis stricken off of Kendall's Christmas card list? Wasn't him that even threw the boot haha! Must have one of them faces 

[Johnny Ringo]

Great entertainment, these 2 teams love to throw the ball around and chance their arm with  offloads. It doesn't always come off but it's good for the neutral viewers.

Rovers coming up with some absolute howlers in their own twenty but Salford politely declining the opportunities so far.

[Wolfey Rovers]

Hope the lad is okay, worrying scenes. It's never a nice sight 

[bratman]

Way too many mistakes from Hull KR, but still in it. Need to keep it simpler and cut out the errors.

Really nasty looking head knock for James Batchelor.

Fingers crossed he's OK.

Batchelor knocked out making a tackle, hip caught him I think

[bratman]

God knows how we're in the lead!

Combination of sloppiness in attack by Salford and good Rovers pressure in defence.

[The Blues Ox]

When did it become a thing to stop showing replays of injuries?

I think they make a decision based on how bad the injury looks at the time. When it looks like it's serious, they choose not to repeat it, which I think is right.

They always do in the NRL . In slow motion it really is chilling at times the knocks they take
