You could be right there.Washbrook had a real solid game at Saints.Worked his socks off and Tackled really well

Way you're playing it's a good job. I can still see us being very patchy with so many players just back and the return of Tomkins could see us lose a little focus.

It feels like a 50/50 game at best from our side.
Bookies dont see it like that, you can get 7/4 on hull, get a wedge on, might make up for the miserable night thats coming your way , hull by 20 . (Wishful thinking!!! Slightly)
Wigan favourites for me. Strongest team they've put out all year and we have a miserable record against them. Will have to be at our very best to grind out a result (and I'm sure it will be a grind).
Wane again "biging" us up in The Hull Daily Mail again before the match, playing his mind games. Some would argue it worked last time. Also, I think he's taking the Mick, when he talks about the players on social media talking up our team spirit and when he says at the end "it was their best performance of the year, and they don't mind telling everyone about it." Thinks he's telling us to keep our mouths shut we've won nowt yet

It's easy for teams to get used to the sort of spirit when they're achieving as consistently as a team like Wigan have during the super league years. For us, it's something which a lot of the players possibly won't have seen before (thinking of the young lads who've come through our system), and they should rightly be pleased about it, and tell the world. It's a pleasure to see, and it rubs off on the fans.

Surprised he has time to think about us. Thought he'd be composing his half time briefing for Thaler.

I think this is a game to far. 5 day turnaround from saints is gonna be hard I know we won well but in them conditions it'll taken a bit out the tank. We were intense and the build up will of been all week in the lead up. More so than a regular league game. Plus we've had a long hard run of games. Personally I'd of refreshed the squad quite a bit. But momentum is hard to argue against.

Don`t worry, I am sure your second coming will be the focus of the commentary team.
