will be a good test this one, we have had a mixed bag of results over at hull, some good wins last few years.

looks like we will be missing kopzchak so maybe mullally will come back in as fielden does not look like being ready.

wardle back? hope so.

hull have similar backs to us, strong, fast and run hard.

hopefully get the win and keep up the battle for top spot!

£23 in for adult pre purchase, goes up £1 on the day.

Looking forward to this one, another hard game and Hull at home are clear favourites, so we need to play at the top of our game, unlike Friday night where defensively we were poor.

Come on you C&G

What's the news on Koppy?

Hoping to get to this - funds allowing - always seem to enjoy the trips over to the KC ( couldnt say that about the boulevard !!) - play off game excluded, they seem to be good hard games and im sure we have a pretty decent record over there.

wouldnt say hull are 'clear' faves, thinks its a 50/50 game and the bookies will prob see it that way too if not even have us as slight faves!

not going to be easy though, quite a blow missing koppy as i think this could be won in the forwards

Absolutley no way are we clear favourites! Our attitude stinks at the minute.

Especially after losing to Wakey at home by a point.Oh dear,how sad.never mind

with fielden still not ready and koppy out mullaly must surely get a shot! thought he was great at etihad. What really impressed me was there was some kind of incident - cant quite remember what it was and he was penalised and the crowd were baying at him it didnt seem faze him at all. Be nice to see a youngster like johnson get a shot but probably wont happen

team probably
grix
jerry
leroy
wardle (hopefully) or george
smurph

brough robbo
eorl lunt patrick
ferres fergi
lawrence

fui, taai, mullaly, cording

good strong squad with a good mix - taai could play up front or spell fergi in second row lawrence and ferres more than capable of doing a full 80 if necessary.

Am looking forward to this!

well hull got beat lastnight, thats 3 on the trot now

and didnt holdsworth get injured so he will missing sunday, boost for us!!

I think you'll be comfortable winners against us, we've been awful lately

do we think wood will play?

what position? i think faiumu (who has been getting stick this season, grix isnt the only one) has been good at hooker for us the past two games, we have scored over 100points, but faiumu has not had any praise.

id like to see him continue at hooker with lunt but with us losing kopzchak i feel anderson will move him to prop and leave out mullally which will bring wood in at hooker

I'm not looking forward to it at all.

Confidence low at Hull, Forward pack have seen better days and all our hopes are on a 20 year old scrum half who will make his third appearance for the club. I expect us to compete for so long but in the end you will run out comfortable winners.

Crabtree is gonna have a field day.

I like the look of Miller, suprised we werent in the mix for him after our publicised half back search, especially seeing as there seems to have been a few available in Miller, Walsh, Bosc, Gaskell etc.

Fooey at prop



FC clear favourites then, hes not a prop, Mullally in if Koppy injured to help Eorl and Patrick.

Eorl, Patrick & Mullaly to prop
Cording dropped and Fooey to play in the back row
Or maybe Fooey rested for the cup game?

I would save Cording for the Wire game.

To be honest i have seen nothing from Fuey this year that makes me think he is worth keeping. Too slow for Hooker, not big enough for prop and inneffective at loose.

Anderson says he's playing out of position and therefore not as effective and will look to play Wood with Lunt/Robbo leaving Fuey to be doing more running which is his natural game.

l would like to see Wood at 7, Robbo going to back up Lunt at 9, which l now think is is best position, Fiaimu has been great but is now just a squad player. personelly l would move him on at the end of the season.

Pardon?

As for your comment, I'd also like to see Wood move back to 7 - but it is too late in the season to change a very settled half back combination which has worked well so far.

I think Wood will be used to spell Lunt, which allows Faiumu to move back to interchange 13.

I feel a bit for Faiumu because he has been shifted around the pack so much the last few seasons from arriving as a hooker to going to loose forward, then prop for a while and now back at hooker. He needs to be given a decent spell at loose forward which I feel is his best position before he can be judged; because his defence has always been very good down the middle and he can make breaks.

dont think replacing wood with robbo is the way to go at this point in the season, he will interchange with lunt and do what dwyer was doing.

think people are being very unfair on faiumu, still a top player in our ranks, he has been messed about alot moving positions and this can have an effect on form but when hes come in he has done a good job.

when he comes on the field he always seems to spark us up in attack and very willing in defence.

if he gets a run in his favoured position he can get back to the devastating side steps and offloads we came used too

wardle no dead cert to be playing this one either which would be a another blow to go with kopzchak



might not risk him with the cup game being next week
