Superior strength in the forwards! Really , you mean fiffita? Considering most rate Taylor as a world class forward , I don’t see how that’s the case , 1 man doesn’t make a team , they’ve plenty of injuries to. I know the game ain’t played on paper, but looking at the 2 17s , we should be winning this . If not , then questions do need asking why we haven’t , making excuses for a defeat before we’ve even played mrs b is just ridiculous. Looking forward to this one , COYH
Surely no one can doubt a near full strength Hull side will beat a depleted wakefield? Especially when you take into account that we are coached by our most successful coach in 2 generations and wakey by the hull kr cast off? Where's your belief?

Er, no - not just Fifita! He's the standout forward, but what about: Pauli Pauli (6ft 5ins, 18st 13lb), Keegan Hirst (6ft 5ins, 19st 3lb), Craig Kopczak (6ft 4ins, 17st), Justin Horo (6ft 3ins, 15st 10oz), with Tinirau Arona for good measure (he's a relative lightweight at 5ft 11ins and 16st 10lb!

Oh right it’s all about size then !! That’s not the wife says We’ve some pretty big lads in green Ellis and masi, westermans a unit, manu easily as big as arona , so yeh , not sure what’s so superior
Hull by 14+ ... need to be winning this and should be . Wakey are a good side but there missing Johnson tupou Miller brough and 2 good back rowers , all who were in form and and a big part of there team .

Wakefield's pack seems to have the most go-forward of any in superleague this season, BUT I just hope you're right and we match them tomorrow

Correct, and their size should certainly be a concern for our pack that was comprehensively rolled on Monday. Let's hope we get a platform for Kelly, Connor and Sneyd.

This.
Their creativity and key strike players are missing. Yes, Fifita is a great player, but one prop will not win you a game. Pauli will score tomorrow as he will trample over one of outR smaller players.
Hull need to be patient and keep turning Wakey forwards around.

Have faith , look what happens to us when we don’t have our first choice half’s , and a few injuries . It won’t be easy don’t get me wrong, but we’ll have to much for them with our strong spine and lots of intensity , which I’m definitely expecting after that shower last Monday
