Bored of talking about Crocker, Humberside and rubbish player rumours, I am!

So then to Saturdays game, I think we have a good chance of winning this one, hopfully we will be boosted by the return of either Tony, Raynor or Both.

Hard to predict the team without knowing the 19 man squad.

Hopfully a week off will do us some good.

One thing I would do is rest Maloney, and play King or Moa, who I though both impressed in the reserves.

Horne
Calderwood
Whiting
Yeamen
Raynor
Washbrook
Thorman
Dowes
Berrigan
Thackary
Manu
Tickle
Radford

Lee
Cusack
King
Burnett

thats my guess, although i would have tony back in along with houghton

well the be no g.horne had his thumb operation so lets hope raynor is fit, I was impressed with moa on friday and think he should be given another chance . big question is will horne be back at 6 or stay at 1 .

I'm going to say Warrington to shade it,
although i tend to be wrong 9 times out of 10.

Manu out for 6 weeks

Worth noting that Wire are expecting to have Morley and Briers back for this game.

Hard to say what side I would go for until I could see the squad, it would be great to have Motu or Raynor back, or both.

Manu out for 6 weeks



Just in case you did not know!

Expecting a Warrington win, hoping for a Hull win!

i reckon we will line up as such

Tony
Calderwood
Whiting
Yeamen
Raynor
Horne
Thorman
Dowes
Berrigan
Thackary
Tickle
Radford
Washbrook

Lee
Cusack
King
Burnett

Although id like to see Horne start at 1 defensivly to ease Motu back in. Id even Contemplate starting Lee at 6 with Motu on the bench

id have Motu on the bench too, he played once and got injured again on his last 'comeback' so really has been out of action for a year, and won't be match fit.

aside from lacking Manu the above side is probably the strongest we've had out this year

Assuming Raynor and Motu are back I would imagine that is how we will line up. However I would have thought Houghton might get the nod ahead of Lee as he was motm last time out?

I would prefer to see Berrigan at 7, Lee at 9, Houghton to the bench and Thorman dropped.

Reading between the lines can we assume Raynor will be back which is why they have let G Horne have the op. Otherwise he could of played on with strapping. At the end of the day its only his hand and he plays on the wing...he won't use it that often...

1.Tony
2.Raynor
3.Yeaman
4.Whiting
5.Calderwood
6.Horne
7.Berrigan
8.Dowes
9.Lee
10.Thackray
11.Burnett
12.Tickle
13.Washbrook
14.Houghton
15.Radford
16.King
17.Cusack

I think this is a good/ most likely squad..........Hull to win by 12!!! (I hope)

For me, if Morley and Briers are back in the Wire 17 then I expect them to win by 12/16 points.

Ref for saturday is Ganson

Has anyone else noticed he gets fatter with every game

I hate to say it, but I agree with you. Just don't think we'll be up for a battle with Wire - hope I'm wrong tho!

There playing pretty well at the moment, I think it will be pretty even in the forwards but the damage will be caused out wide from them IMO.

Yes, he has a huge gut now

Berrigan to tackle the threat of King. Was an Aussie Centre before Hooker and with Lee and Houghton in good form its an ideal time.

Think its a bit too soon for Motu after his spell out.

Didn't think they played that well against Rovers. Having said that they will be a lot stronger with Briers and Morley back to face us.

Defensively I didnt think so either but they looked pretty good when getting the ball out wide, caused us alot of problems.

Tony to replace radford after a while and go to full back, with Horne going to 6 and Washbrook to 13
