GAME ON : St. Helens v Hull FC - 19:45:00

GENERAL CHAT ABOUT THE GAME, BUILD UP, THE ACTION AS IT HAPPENS AND AFTERMATH BELOW.

Hull are due a big one tonight. We have just plodded around playing in 10 minute bursts here and there. But Houghton is back, Manu is back, Kelly is finding his form. I think we are going to lay down a marker tonight.

Hull by 10

https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/r ... rt-1424210 Hull have all their players back for tonight’s game and Radford is confident of the win . Time for them to start knocking off top four rivals he says . Houghton, Shaul, Tuimavave,and Manu all back . Hull by 22.

No Ben Barba tonight apparently.

He's got a cold bless him.

they'll have all 13 players to do the tackling then..



Oh I dunno, I had it Sts by 18, guess it might be less now, still can't see anything for Hull even with bodies back but ya never know.

Hull need to win this otherwise its a long uphill battle for a top four place.

No Barba for Saints . Lucky Hull .
I think Hull by 28 now .

No Faraimo, Minichiello, Manu or Hadley for Hull. Plus Talanoa and Fash now off.

Think we are missing Minichiello and Manu here, weak back row but Lane playing quite well

Yeah he's going solid is Lane, he just doesn't pack the same punch that Mini and Manu do. But that's understandable given his age and how few games he's played. But he's not letting anybody down. Saying that, wish he'd have bloody scored!

Defensively we've done well as saints have had a lot of ball and territory, similar to Wakefield on Monday. Hopefully we do what we did in the 2nd half of Monday's game

Looks like Hull are using the same tactic we do with slow line speed and relying on good defence in their own half to conserve energy. Saints on the other hand are rushing up and committing 3 men into every tackle. Last 15min could be interesting if Hull are within a couple of scores.

hull have been disappointing.


Phil Clarke is chatting absolute guff.

Lmao that’s one of the most-forward passes I’ve ever seen.

I think that was the most ridiculous forward pass I've ever seen!

Thats forward in anybody's definition. Thats not even close.

Chuffed that we got away with it but wow that's just embarrassing by the officials.

Why the hell did Hicks go to the VR? He was literally half a metre away????

Poor game from two grand final candidates.
Saints look aberage without Barba and Walmsley
Hull just look average. Kelly showing what a lazy flat track shiw pony he is, doesnt want to know.

Cant see hull finishing higher than 6-7 on what i have seen from them do far this season.

I found the game quite boring. Was expecting so much more.

It was pretty boring,but I'm not sure how good you were expecting the game to be when it's the 3rd in 8 days.

Fair point.

Less 'expecting' more 'hoping'

You and me both. Although I'd have more than happily taken a boring as hell 7-6 victory.
