Not sure what the team will be but with Miller out another positional change required.
Hull have a short turn round and the game against Wire must have taken a lot out of the players.
I'm going for a Wakey win, but only just.

Does that mean there's an element of trust in the coaching staff there then?

Going to be a tough ask but after a short turn around and extra time x 2 you’d have to be hopeful we could get something out of this.

Tupou is back and Jowitt at least. In the press conference it suggested Chester had Jowitt returning to cover Miller. Seems strange he wouldn’t put Jowitt at 1 and Hampshire at 6 with Lino.

If rumour of Woods is true too then I’m hoping we see what a Bowes has to offer soon or look to bring in a 9. We can’t keep using Crowther at 9 for long term.

Have to agree about Jowitt and Hampshire.
Hampshire's elusive running and speed would be better in the halves and Jowitt for me is a better FB.
Having said that Hull are a decent side and I still expect us to finish 2nd in this one.

I'm tempted to run with Brad Walker to replace Miller.

It’s the massive hull pack that worries me more than the turn around times ,if they get a roll on it will be a tough night at the office.Take us lightly and they may come unstuck ,but give it our all and at this time in the season I don’t think we can ask for more .Be very interesting to see the reaction from the players for this one and here’s hoping it’s a positive one ,as we don’t want to head down the Spurs road now do we .

Brad walkers not a bad shout vastman. With Miller out for 4 weeks give the lad a run out

They've conceded just 28 points so far in their 3 games, and we just seemingly can't score.......where are the points coming from?! It's gonna have to be a big turnaround in the way we have played so far with ball in hand, but we all live in hope........

Normally I'd go for Hampshire but seeing as even Ryans biggest fan on here says Chester doesn't know how to use him I don't see the point. Might as well try something new.

I think we’ll score more than one try this week. Problem is Hull will score more.

I'm dreading it, I see nothing but a defeat. I just can't bring myself to watch it anymore. I'll pay but I just can't watch.

Hampshire's performance v Saints must have nailed the fullback spot for Jowitt but must leave Chester wondering where he could possibly use Hampshire. Miller's absence should allow the team to create some cohesion and go forward and it's a great opportunity for someone to step forward and claim 6 for themselves.
We have been on the bad end of several decisions and it is uncanny that our every VR referral is sent up as no try whilst it's always sent up as Try when we're defending.
The Leeds game turned on an absolutely unique decision to call a forward pass against the "home" team at Headingley. One big difference was that this forward pass wasn't whilst Leeds would have to pass like quarterbacks to be called forward at home. It was ever thus!!

No it's not a leap in faith for our coaching team, it's based on
Hope
Allowing Chester 4 games to get it right. Hope he does,
Lasts low down on some of the squad.
An ex Hull Centre who needs a good game.
A squad in general that must put a 80 mins performance in
And a Hull team who have just played a mammoth game with a short turn round.

Cheaters already had 4 games to get to right from last season though.

Hull are off the back of a full length golden point game with a two day shorter turnaround.
We have their old coach on the books who knows their players inside out.
They are without their star halfback signing plus a couple of their big forwards.
We have 3 key players returning to the team from last week in Tanginoa, Jowitt & Tupou.
Kyle Wood & Eddie Battye will be much better for getting their first game of the season under their belt.

Anything less than given them a damn good game and maybe even sneaking it with a bit of luck and a following wind is quite frankly unacceptable. The excuses have run dry. A repeat performance of recent showings and enough will be enough. Over to you Chester, your job should depend on it.

I doubt Last will have a clue about any of Hulls plays, they are playing completely different under Hodgson this season.

I'm talking more about character of the players, not the style of play.

I did say players, not plays. He should know their strengths and weaknesses and how best to exploit them. Hodgson has changed the system but he can’t improve all the aspects of every player in 6 months. We need to take advantage of tgat knowledge.

Can’t see anything but a hull win.
That’s what lack of confidence does for me as a fan so god knows what the players are thinking.

It’s the character of our players he needs to worry about if truth be know, can they put a show on for the full 80 . If as people have already stated about the quick turnaround and we can’t compete for 80 mins where does that leave us .
Bigger powerfully throughout their squad I doubt we will get the better of them but here’s hoping.

That means nothing - see performances vs Leeds and Wigan

that's good news so finally we can expect a win then

Honestly? No i can’t see it sadly. But we have plenty of cards in our favour going into this one, there is no reason why we shouldn’t be giving them a good contest. If we don’t then we are in a bigger hole than even i thought, and i think it’s pretty large as it is.

Come on man get with the programme, according to some we are the only team that ever suffer from injuries and once all our players are back we’ll be up the top of the league!

Schoey is predicting Hull by 24 in this weeks League Express and whilst I obviously hope he is wrong, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if he was right
