after watching the worst saints team in years yesterday Hull tore them apart but Hulls pack looks massive and made Saints look bad. saints picked up a lot of injuries as they seemed to get beat up badly

We need to hold them in the forwards so do we go for as big a pack as we have got or do we use quicker players and tire them out.

We need a good kicking game to turn their forwards around. I would much rather see them running back to get onside than using their energy running at our players

I would like to see fa' alogo start in the second row with Patrick at prop.

Any other changes we can make

You have to give credit to Hull FC but Saints were awful and still managed to score 12 points. This is going to be one tough game and Hull's pack look very impressive and I think they just edge it with Mason being sidelined.

This game will be a big test but we must cut out the penalties if we want to win, as with many penalties conceded points are gained by the opposition.
The disappointing thing about the Bradford game was we were down 2 men in a 20 minute period so we were not able to show our full attacking potential but we certainly showed how solid our defence is.

To close to call for me.

I disagree Saints were poor they dominated for the first 15/20..however our pack dominated them and stopped them playing, our forwards forced the errors etc.Saints scored when we were down to 12 men. I think it will be a great game on Friday with some good rugby on display by both side, I am personally looking forward to the Horne brothers going head to head.

well im going, who else is making the trip??

looking forward to what should be a very good game!!

I think this will be a cracking game and two of the best packs in super league should batter each other for lots of the game.

Is there many who would rather watch Wigan vs Hull KR? I wish your game was on SKY next week

We will really miss Mason though ,he was my player of the year last year ,he never took a backward step.Hopefully Larne Patrick can step up to the mark ,thought he was too lightweight last season but as someone else posted he has bulked up so heres hoping.

The loss of Mason is significant but if Patrick steps up and performs then that's all we can ask of him. Injuries are part of the game and it gives Larne his chance. He is rated highly, he only knows one direction and he tackles like a demon too. We just need to cut out the penalties because that will really hurt us against Hull if we don't.

Two of us going, had a great trip last season, dont think we will hammer them as much this time but lets hope.

Lightweight is the last thing you want to be if Mark O'Meley is planning to make his mark on his home debut.

What happens when an irresistable force meets an immovable object?

I refer to Crabtree and Lauaki.

Really can't call this game at all. No more than 12 points in it imo.

C'mon Ull!

Well it appears that T Alibert is the ref for friday night. Which means anything could happen. Probably prefarable to Ganson being the ref.
