HULL KR testimonial man Jason Netherton says his players are raring to go as they prepare to take on bitter rivals Hull FC in Friday's derby.
THIS Friday will see us battle it out in the last derby of the year at the KC Stadium, and after a week off we're all raring to go.
Both clubs aren't where we want to be in terms of our Super League position, but it certainly doesn't detract from the importance of the match.
We desperately need to win to be in with a chance of finishing in the play-offs and Hull FC will want to win to avoid a whitewash of defeats in derbies this season.
Adding even more to the game is the fact it's the last derby some players will feature in like Richard Horne, Craig Hall and Josh Hodgson to name just three.
I'm actually surprised Sky TV haven't chosen to show the match, but hopefully that will mean more people turn up at the stadium for what I'm sure will be a fantastic game.McGuire was my Lance Todd winner, not Hall
SO, my prediction came in as the Leeds Rhinos won the Challenge Cup final at Wembley by blowing Castleford off the park inside the first half.
However, it is to the Tigers' credit that the score was so close despite not being at their best.
It probably won't go down as a classic final, but it was still an entertaining game, nonetheless.
One thing which was quite disappointing is that there were so many empty seats in the stadium, as I would have thought it would have been a sell-out.
Although Ryan Hall won the Lance Todd trophy for his two-try show, I thought Danny McGuire had a great game and was unlucky not to be named as man-of-the-match.
I had to laugh at some of the interviews from some Leeds players after the game when thanking their fans for sticking by them through the hard times of losing the last five finals! That must have been really hard for them!
