Moooooove, six againnnnnnnn, can we just check the grounding, I have no try.

well lets hope the video ref is not six re run Thaler.

Can we just go back on that please,have you a better angle than that,no go back to the first one please

Cant be bothered any more i have made my decision

And chuck in a yellow as well.

Looks like Saints a bringing a few over .

I'd be in favour of giving Hoy a game in the halves as we need a bit of a spark of creativity to beat Saints and in all honesty, McNamara doesn't have that. Trueman and Hoy in the halves would be unpredictable and adding Litten in at 1 would at least give us an exciting 1/6/7 combo.



Hoy at halfback could also open his game up and boost his attacking confidence (which we saw at Magic) - if he could chime in a la Jai Field at 1 with Trueman and Clifford then we'd have the nucleus of a very good team - just needs the rest of the side to be built around those three and a new hooker.



Hoy looks like a real confidence player and if he picks up an assist in a game you'd back him to do the same again not soon after.

Just stick whoever can do the delayed pass to Griffin like Clifford does in the halves, make sure our defence is like it was v Wigan and we'll have a chance

Saints have sold their initial allocation from Hull which I believe was 800. They have been sent a further allocation.

Satae for Clifford only change

Just wondering who's doing the kicking duties come Saturday , Hoy , McIntosh or Griffin ?

Sutcliffe?

100% was a good kicker at Leeds

Bloody Hell, he’s going to stand out at scrum half, why we letting him go if he’s that versatile

I hate moving players out of position but I think I’d opt for Hoy in halves and Davy at full back.



Davy is better at full back than Ben Mac is at 7. I also think we need to get as much game time into Davy as possible

Playing MaNamara would be a disaster and offer us zero attacking threat in their 20.

Moving Hoy is a good option but i would go with Sutcliife who is probably the better defender and offers a bit more size when running the ball.

That said we cant seem to second guess Smith as he continues to play Lane and McIntosh and with Tuimavave well off the pace you can see where Saints will target

Verstile and fast.He must be the only prop i have known to get a hamstring injury

They're coming here with a strong line-up. Pretty much not far off their full strength team.



If you can't get up for playing against the best then you may as well turn it in.



I think Tag and Fash are gonna rise to the challenge and have big ones. Then Ligi and Big Chris come on to put us on top.



Big game for Truman with Clifford missing. He needs to earn his stripes.



Don't know if we'll get the result but we'll give them a contest.



I

The most depressing thing as a spectator is that Clifford is gonna be fit enough to play, but has got a games ban for getting a shot around the chops a week ago.



These rules need to be reviewed, because they make no sense. This game has half of your season's goals on the line.

It is unfortunate, but with rising insurance costs and the threat of legal action from ex players like fozzars, Goulding etc over head injuries, I think the rfls hands are tied somewhat

I would rather have Litten at 6 and Truman at 7, than Mcnamara, I have seen nothing at first team level to suggest he is good enough at this level, people like him but what does he bring to the team



Speed: no

Kicking: no

Makes breaks: No

Passing: No

Defence: Ok for a halfback, nothing special.



I know he is young, but he must have played about 20 games now and hasn't really shown anything. I'd be looking at promote Medforth and use him as back up next season, unless we think Mcnamara can play hooker an is going to vastly improve, I wouldn't be keeping him either.



Biggest game of the season against a full strength and in form Saints, have to take a risk and go at them.

We're playing Saints at the worst possible time. They're practically full strength and have hit form.



While our form has picked up we're now missing our best player. Gut feeling is Smith will go with McNamara at 7.



We need a 2005 CC semi performance, don't think we've got that in us yet but stranger things have happened

I think you are right, hopefully have Litten on the bench, could sacrifice Dywer and use Cator at hooker for a spell

I'd be more tempted to go the other way and have McNamara on the bench for Dwyer.



Start with Litten, Hoy, Truman.



We need to start fast either way. If Saints get a 8-12 point lead early we've got no chance.

Would pretty much agree with that and whilst Dwyer can create something with his speed unfortunately it is getting outweighed by the poor reads and options he is taking which invariably costs us. If Lane is the 17 tomorrow he really needs to step up. Need the likes of Taylor, Satae, Sao, Fash & Brown if selected to have big games to help us get on top of St's and stop them gaining any momentum with Lomax. Satae especially needs to take the ball in a lot more than he usually does.



Think our biggest concern is our right edge which is and has been poor defensively and feel St's are very likely to exploit that.

The ex players don't have a leg to stand on



All rfl have to do is show plenty of clips of them dishing it out esp fozzard with that massive arm pad!

But tomorrow we're not gunna beat saints by going set for set



We need off the cuff and dwyer offers that



Leigh are an example of that throw the ball around its hard to defend against

Maybe but he is and has been guilty of many poor reads that have cost us both in opportunities to score and also giving the opposition opportunities which against St's we can ill afford.



Its ok to throw the ball around but as we have seen when he was at Warrington and Leeds and more so first hand at Hull he doesn't play with any real structure at times and as others have said be it Wire, Leeds or Hull fans he's too much of a headless chicken.
