I think I've said on here before, but my former brother-in-law used to work for the RFL and met Hock a couple of times. He likened it to being the closest you could get to being in the presence of a live Neanderthal.

Fair enough, although I'd say that a different outcome was possible but unlikely.

Hock playing would only benefit Hull, we will be a better side without him. I genuinely cannot call this game because against Warrington we were the better team for large periods (just couldn't get the ball down over the line despite numerous attempts) yet against St Helens we were absolutely woeful.

This game will be a good yardstick for Salford fans to know where we are right now, as Warrington and Saints will no doubt finish in the top 2 whereas Hull are a team we should battling it out against for a place in the top 8.

If it was at the KC I would be extremely confident. Away from home I still think we will win, but it makes it a tougher task. It would also be nice if Ellis is fit and we are full strength. If that is the case I would go for us by a couple of scores.

That's true, we would more likely be playing against a 12 man team because Hock would be sent off. However at least we won't need to worry as much about getting injuries due to his knees.

Thats optimistic to say the least, your team looks an utter shambles and your chairmans ideas border on the ridiculous..... on current form I cant even see you scoring, but after the proverbial kick up the ass form the cash machine, you may run us close, but im expecting an fc win, and to finish higher than you in the league
