Pryce straight in having just got off the plane seems wild to me, but needs must I guess; nothing to lose lol
only what Peter Stirling once did by mind you .............  If I remember he got MOM to When I was stood at Wakefield, two weeks ago, my mind drifted back to that afternoon in late '83 (as it always does every time I visit Belle Vue). I was behind the posts in 1983, where the new stand now resides. Sterling making his debut for us, Lewis for Wakefield! Like Wilf says, the pair of them barely off the plane before running out. Don't think I have ever been at a game where two players were so dominant in the minds of every single person in the crowd that afternoon. For everyone now under the age of about 55, it's difficult to put across how incredible it was to see those two players run out in darkest West Yorkshire that afternoon. They could have flown in from Mars, so astonishing it was to witness. Unquestionably two of the greatest players in RL history, they stand comparison with anyone you could care to mention. Probably a touch unfair on Pryce to compare him to Sterlo, but if he has anything like the same impact then we're onto a winner here. One thing's for sure, he will enter Fc folklore if he pulls out something special on Saturday afternoon, so no pressure on the lad then!!!! I was at that game which was amazing seeing sterling and lewis on the field together but i had thought it was a night match? May not have been, I was only 14 at the time I also attended the Wakefield Vs FC, in which 'Sterlo' and 'King Wally' made their debuts., alongside Wally's brother Scott.Sterlo was outstanding as always, but my abiding memory, was the best rugby pass, I've ever seen by any Rugby player in any code.There was a scrum on the left side, very close to the touchline, ,it was Wakefield s head and feed, the ball came out to Wally Lewis, he flung out a pass from the left touchline, the whole width of the pitch, to his brother Scott, who was standing on the right wing, and simply dived over in the corner. I've never seen a pass like it since, I doubt it I ever will again.

Patrick Solal ?
Don’t think Patrick was ever on trial. Think we signed Solal straight from the England v France International at The Boulevard after he went the full length of the field to score a try. Didn’t do too much for Hull after that. Yeah only here for the 83 season I think.

| Unfortunately I can't see us getting the win tomorrow, Rovers are a good side and don't seem to have a bad game in them. They'll start fast and if don't match them it could be game over by half time.
Think they'll look to exploit our weaknesses on the edges with our centres and second rows not being great.
Can see JC going big to start with a big bench and hopefully try and batter them through the middle, errors and penalties will be key.

Well no journalists are giving us a hope tomorrow, great motivation for the team.
They'll be motivated without a doubt but I don't think it'll be enough. Realistically we need Rovers to have an off day which they've rarely done in the last couple of seasons. They have their own motivation in that it'll be a big step towards ending their trophy drought. Hopefully it won't be another home derby humiliation and we get through unscathed with a tough run of games coming up in the league.

| I've not looked forward to a derby for some time like i am for tomorrow. I'd be saying the same if this was the Good Friday game and we didn't have them tomorrow. The fact it is the cup, my first cup derby, makes all the more exciting. So long as we show the resilience we've seen this season I'll keep the faith we can win.
