I went to the FC game, we looked more than comfortable first half, to a point I thought we were going to rack up a big score at one point, then second half fell apart, strange game that was. Bloody Easter and we looked knackered and I think Radford kept it fresh by resting a few, a very shrewd gamble that paid off, I think Gids would have made a difference but that's ifs and maybes.
I genuinely think without arrogance that if both teams are at full strength and playing at their peak we have a slight edge, but I wouldn't gamble any serious money on it, I still think you're one world class or MoS class halfback off a pure balance.
This game, I want us to win, I think we can but I don't expect it, this game will be imho tight at about the 65-70 min mark with something special from somewhere winning it for someone, just looking forward to it, the very essence of what makes sport exciting for me is this game, evenly matched at the top of their game with the trepidation of complete uncertainty. All I will wish you is a safe journey and no injuries to your guys on the field.

To be honest it just too close to call and that's what makes this game special and hope it lives up to expectations. Think both teams have huffed and puffed a bit of late with us not putting in anywhere near an 80 minute performance yet and with Warrington blowing games that they were certainly not expected too adds to it even more.
Think Warrington have the edge if I'm honest with the likes of Sandow & Gidley but only if they are on top form, but it all depends on which teams forwards can get their team on the front foot and keep overall momentum.
Just hope both teams turn up and put their best performances on for 80mins as it will be a cracker. As a Hull fan I expect it to be close but for us to just come up short to be honest as it may be one game too far. I wouldn't be disappointed with a loss as this season so far have been a massive improvement and I've seen more this season from the current team then I have from the last 8 seasons put together.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!
As I posted earlier, the next two games are crucial. Win them both, and a top 4 place is more than achievable.
If we are lucky enough to beat Catalans in the cup, we'll have a semi-final before the super8's start, and maybe a final with 3 games still left to play afterwards.
Not the best of times to have to win league games.
Much better to have everything sorted asap and have the luxury of resting players when needed.
Pie in the sky, maybe, but fingers crossed.
Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?
I think we're due a defeat , haven't been playing well for a few games now . Keep sandow quiet and we have a good chance , but doing it is another matter . Think wire by 10 but hope I'm wrong !
Shaul Talanoa Yeaman Fonua Michaels Carlos Sneyd Taylor Houghton Watts Ellis Mini Manu
Pritchard Bowden Washy Thompson
Hadley & Green to miss out, Hadley although safe and dependable just feel Thompson offers more from the bench & Green seems to have lost some of the go forward he had earlier in the season.

Green will probably miss out despite having a sound game against Widnes and we can always move Ellis to front row Hadley certainly shores up our right side defence and this may be be enough for Radford to include him . Thompson offers more go forward but was fairly quiet against Widnes. definately between Thompson and Hadley For me Thompson

I couldn't decide out of those 3 who I'd have used last spot on. Eventually came down to Thompson for the reasons given which is similar thinking to yourself
