Squad announced today and a bit of a banana skin game, they will have a bit of confidence after a good win on Sunday. I'd make the players watch the Widnes away game this week. I think Radford might try and freshen things up this week and he has mentioned players looking tired.

You could look to bring in Pritchard, Green, Pryce and Micheals.

I'd bring in Pritchard, Green and Pryce for Bowden, Wahbrook and Hadley. Not dropping players just rotation, Bowden for example has played every game this year hasn't he?

Shaul
Naughton
Fonua
Yeaman
Talanoa
Carlos
Sneyd
Watts
Houghton
Taylor
Ellis
Mini
Manu

Green
Tomo
Pritchard
Pryce

You've given Watts a lot to do

Don't know what you are talking about

would keep Hadley in as I think imo he bottles the defence up out wide,

19 man squad announced on club website - not 100% clear as only 15 listed but pryce left out. green out only change

need a 90% performance to put 30 odd points on average widnes and improve points difference

not a 70% effort like saints and scrape a win.

time for us to be consistently top dogs now we have shown our potential......and that wembley dream can happen

Good idea to leave Carlos there. It looks as if we could be keeping that partnership until end of the season, with Leon as backup.

Frank has to go on the bench - spell him with Gaz, ideally.

Bowden, Ellis, Fonua, Hadley, Houghton, Manu, Minichiello, Naughton, Pritchard, Pryce, Shaul, Sneyd, Talanoa, Taylor, Thompson, Tuimavave, Washbrook, Watts, Yeaman

I'd go with

Shaul
Naughton
Fonua
Yeaman
Talanoa
Tuimavave
Sneyd
Taylor
Houghton
Watts
Ellis
Mini
Manu

Thompson
Hadley/Washy
Pritchard
Bowden

Pryce & Hadley or Washy to miss out.

Think Thompson could really do some damage coming off the bench if the likes of Watts, Taylor, Ellis get on top and keep us on the front foot.

radford needs to decide on his best half back partnership and stick with it unless one gets injured or suffers a massive drop in form. No good swapping and changing pryce and carlos every week

m.hulldailymail.co.uk/Hull-FC-Fr ... story.html Frank out again... What a waste of money Be glad to see Hadley out there again. Would like to see him and Mini start in the SR with Ellis at loose. Have Manu, Thompson, Bowden and Washy/Green (maybe give Washbrook a week off) off the bench. Edit: just realised Green wasn't in the squad. Sorry Danny Washbrook, your place was never in doubt!

This is Frank, not Terry.

Ha! Good job we planned ahead. You know, just in case we had an injury to cover.

Exactly the season is a marathon not a sprint let's not risk anyone who ain't fully fit

Nostalgic trip down Memory Lane! The first time I saw Widnes play at the Boulevard was in the late 40's and Colin Hutton was their fullback. A season or so later he joined Hull displacing Freddie Miller. Think we lost that game.

We will win this one.

Really looking forward to this game. The priority has to be getting the two points, obviously. If Wire beat Saints, it means we could be 8 points ahead of 5th, and either 9 or 10 ahead of 6th, depending what Cas do. 1 point see's us guarantee top 8, that will be the first target achieved.

As I said, the priority has to be getting the two points, if we scrape a win again, I'll be reasonably happy. Personally, I hope we batter them. Let's right the wrongs of the previous game.

What sort of attendance can we expect this evening - 11000 plus??

I'm gonna say about 10,500, cant see over 11.

Would love to see us put an 80 minute performance in tonight, can't afford no slip ups.

I'll be digging out my 1997 Lee Radford match worn Hull Sharks shirt for this one.

Come on you uulllaarr.

Haha, nice one. Hopefully you can do us some favours over the next few weeks too...










And then still miss out on top 8

Back on here are we? Realistically we can only achieve 8th according to your good self, so presumably we'll lose this one. Unlucky.

The shame of having to cheer on your rival team to help with a relegation battle.

I feel nervous as about tonight.

Michaels and Green in for Naughton and Watts.

Watts is a huge blow.. Bowden now needs to get back to early season form. Thompson off the bench should give us some spark... someone mentioned feeling nervous, have to say I feel the same.
