Going to Elland Road with some optimism. If we play as we have been of late, we are in with a chance.

season defining game this one. Go levwl on points with Hull FC and they'll get a serious case of the wobbles while we will grow in confidence.

I have never seen the point in the Magic Weekend, it's only an additional skew to the fixture list & rarely, if ever, packs out a ground. Not sure what is magical about that?

I believe that Sky like it.And it gives those at the RFL a chance to pat each other on the back and say what a good job it is that they are doing.
I too agree it is a bit of a nonsense.

When was magic weekend last played in the south? I would have thought taking it to the Midlands might have been an idea. I agree it is past its sell by date.

2007, 2008 & 2011 Cardiff
2009 & 2010 Edinburgh
2012, 2013 & 2014 Manchester
2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2021, 2022 & 2023 Newcastle
2019 Liverpool
So not much initiative shown by the RFL but I suppose Cardiff could be considered south.

squad out. looks same as last week. So I guess no Parata due to HIA but otherwise strong. Waine to come in?

That sounds right. Shame about Parata, he’s picked up a couple of head knocks this season which will be a worry.
I’m hoping for a decent performance - we could win this but it’s difficult to tell.

Oh I see our match (or any of them) is no longer on Super League plus....

As if by Magic too!

Yes slightly odd that. We’ll have to go old school and listen in on bbc radio Humberside.

I’ll tell you what is magic. The rate at which our players are disappearing!

Who would think we would lose players quicker than fans during a pretty winless season?

Very true! Perhaps we’ll put in a (non) plan to address that for next season?

It's not started yet, and Wilkin is annoying me already.
He's repeatedly saying: Hull have history and pedigree; London don't.

That seems to be the role he’s chosen for himself. When he first started appearing on Super League show and radio he clearly stood out. Obviously bright, a nice line in self deprecation and light touch on cliches and filler comments. Now he feels obligated to be a bit of a tool now again. Having said that, on balance, I’d say he is good. By way of comparison whoever the expert is on radio Humberside, even when he gets a new voice box I think he’s ‘not so good’.

Another try for Rourke. To all those SL teams ‘circling’ Miloudi- stop taking glue.

We’re making a lot of errors but Hull cant capitalise. This expert commentator is wearing me out. What he says is often OK but he just won’t stop talking.

12-4 to Broncos at HT. fairly even game between bottom sides. Working hard again and have some threat. Well done.

Super effort lads! Need to stop giving them the ball but defense v good and they look clueless.

"London have been dominant" Sam Tomkins

Let's hope they remain clueless & pointless in 2nd half.

Keeping the scoreboard ticking over. Sensible 16-4.

Regardless of the result, Hull fans cannot be pleased with what the club is serving up here. Gawd knows how it came to this. Proper side Hull don’t really deserve this. I assume it’s a case of a saving money this year because we are going down come what may. Not I suspect what IMG intended when they came up with their plan but there it is. Third win of the season. Looking a bit better.

Another try 27-4.
