I think they will have to settle for the play-offs. Can Rovers make it four home wins from five against Huddersfield? I think they can beat the Giants. Can Hull return from France with James Smailes and a win? Hopefully on both accounts! Let me know your thoughts. |

I wonder what odds you would get on City, FC and KR to win this weekend. |

If I were a betting man by money would be on Rovers this week - call it a hunch |

City are on the crest of a wave and I think they will beat Watford especially in front of a pumped-up, promotion hungry City faithful. It wouldn't surprise me if Hull beat the Frenchies and I expect Rovers to complete the hat-trick. Feed off the good vibe circulating Hull at the moment Benni! It might not last! |

Although I do have a soft spot for Rovers and with the way they seem to be playing right now, with even their losses being very close, you've got to fancy them at home against the Giants. In terms of City, I reckon they'll still go up as Stoke and Bristol City are not as good as they were and Albion have FA Cup on the mind - therefore a draw against promotion rivals Watford would actually be a good result in the circumstances me thinks! - call it a hunch! |

How does it feel to see City become the highest placed team in Yorkshire? Will Leeds win promotion to the Championship, actually who cares!!! |

I have to say that I'm more of a Sheffield hater - Hull don't bother me - it's been good to me since I moved here. I remember seeing Stuart Elliott scoring a cracker against Brentford in 2004 ink only my second day after moving to Hull. With the team they have now they will either go up this year or next. The bigger question is, how will the Hull FC fans react at the end of the season when they've lost every derby. |

I think Hull fans need to cut Peter Sharp some slack. He hasn't been able to field his strongest team and when he does I think you'll see a much improved team. |
