Doesn't get any easier.
Would expect AJ to miss this one and presume Naughton can't play so a bit of jiggling on the wing.
Acton will be available but will need to manage the squad as got Cas 2 days later (with Leeds 4 days after that - thanks to the fixture planners with that one lol).
Hoping no-one got injured from the Salford loss.
Hull will be smarting but we should be too, if we can put pressure on Hull early doors the fans will get restless.
Tough game though.

Pains me to say it Jenky but I expect heavy defeats in our next 3

Hull will be out to apologise to their fans for the poor showing on Saturday , Cas and Leeds have the numbers to rest players ( we don't ) and I just can't see the mindset of the officials towards us changing in those games , they expect us to be well beaten , and we will be

Widnes , Catalans and Giants are our potential wins now , possibly Salford at Home

Did Naughton not play at home against Hull

If not Hampshire could step in but would like to see him gat a good run at HB

Tough fixtures but I reckon we have shown we are not an unfit squad - we don't seem to fall apart towards the end - not that I expect us to win any, Hudds, Widnes and Salford wins are not beyond us

Hull have a bit of an injury crisis. This list is from their forum.

Sneyd broken bone in his foot
Kelly has a rib injury
Connor broken bone in his hand
Mahe Fonua is 4 weeks away
Mini has a groin jury
Washbrook has had injections in the shoulder for last 8 weeks

Well i'll go for our first away win of the season with a score of 24-16 to Leyth.

All irrelevant , more importantly , who's the ref ?

Al let thi know morn.

Must be due Bentham as can't remember seeing him ref us this season (poss Wigan pre season?).

INOUT
Evening Derek, hope you are well?Injuries hit every team no point in moaning about it,we have our share, look at Wigan's, yet Shaun just gets on with it,we are looking at 11th spot now at best,which means 4 away games and 3 homes we could end up with 2 in France

once the middle 8s arrive it's a new League hopefully we can survive,it won't be easy.I know you like to inform us who the Ref is,it could be Eric Clay for me,I don't believe in moaning about Refs , their job is not easy and they always say it as they see it,as Roy Walker would say.I may see ya in Legends on Monday,if you are at the game.

referees appointed tuesdays pm still not stated have nasty opinions as to who but will keep it for our usual surprise !

Hi Ian, I'm well thank you. As far as the refs go, most are poor anyway, so whoever we get,we'll just have get on with it. I haven't posted our game ref for a while,and i will leave it that way apart from today, as i said i will post it just for this week. My prediction of top 8 looks like i have miserably failed,but hey ho i will continue to be positive, So now that we are facing the middle 8s,we must continue to try and finish 9th or 10th, This will give us 4 home games which would be great. Keep BeLEIGHving.



Leigh to win by 8 on Friday

Agreed c u there.

I hope you are right Derek.

Many coming over for this on Friday? I think you will beat us, or it will be really close. Manu has come out today and said he is carrying an injury. Add that to the list of Fonua, Talanoa, Connor, Kelly & Sneyd (potentially), Minichiello, Ellis and maybe a couple of others all injured or playing with injections and it could be a really low quality match!

Nope , a couple of hundred , 3 at most

I'll believe your injury crisis when I see it

And just for the record , we'll have a bare 20 to pick from , as usual

4 massive players out, Taylor, Ellis, Fonua and Sneyd.

You have a few out also, so no real excuses, we should win, but I feel it will be a bit nervy for Hull and tight, first 20 mins are key, if you can score first you could rattle Hull and the crowd will get on the players back.

Don't think your doing yourself justice if you think this will be a close one - do not think we can get a settled run of people in desired positions

We are always quick to blame refs already but it's are own actioms on the field that ruin it for ourselves play to complete sets and good game management instead of tackling all game through stupid penalties that's what's kills us not the refs simple as that

And breath

Well happy to be wrong on that one , cracking night , brilliant display from the lads , despite us I'm presuming having to shuffle the pack again , and Hulls injuries seemingly to clear up overnight

Well Sneyds broken foot was the quickest recovery ever





Top win, saw the team sheet and thought that was the worst starting 13 of the season in terms of the positions players were in - happy to be proved wrong

Drinkwater seemed outstanding from the highlights, and radio Humberside was an experience

Chuffed to bits!!
Particularly pleased with players who played "out of position". Couldn't be there so who played well?

All of them TTTT , Stewart had his best game , Patterson at centre , they tried to pressure Gregg but he handled everything thrown at him

Fans never stopped singing the whole game

Be interesting to see how we line up on Monday

Plenty of mistakes and ' daft ' penalties given last night , but not many if any 50/50 calls needed by the ref , so make of that what you will
