| Hoping for a much drier and warmer week and a dry game night against St's.
Possibility that they could be without both first choice wingers with Makinson ruled out and Grace a doubt due to a head knock and short turn around.
Hopefully we have no new injuries, will rest and recover well this week and finger crossed will be boosted in the forwards with the return from injury of Bowden.

| Will no doubt be a tough game. Saints will be smarting and looking for a response, nothing but our best performance will do otherwise it'll be a long night.
Defensively we are sound, attack still needs to click but confidence wise the team know they can beat anyone. Just need to sort out our indiscipline.
I'm looking forward to this game , again another measure of our growth as a team.
Hopefully a close fought match either way.

| It's pretty unlikely we'll beat Saints twice in successive games, and in the grand scheme of things the cup game is much more important. Critical for me is no further injuries or suspensions for the following week, and getting our attack to click hopefully in drier conditions.

| Think Saints have been very unimpressive so far this season and have had the easiest start to a season possible.
They fell into the Catalans trap like we did of losing their heads due to the stop start nature of the way Catalan manage a game.
I don't think there is any reason why we cant beat them and just hope we don't give them too much respect at the start of the game like we did to Wigan in the league.
Big Chris v Big Al is a mouth watering clash

I kind of see what your saying but don’t think this Hodgson coached team would pick games to concentrate on, pretty much like the 2 Wigan games, I think they’ll go all out to win both. As you say hopefully no injuries or suspensions for the cup.
Pretty sure the coaching staff will be concerned about the six agains but for the life of me, I fail to see what FC are doing any different to other teams.

Armavinit, as you said about Hodgson I don't think picking & choosing games is in his make up or philosophy and he's said his interviews that is not in his plans and goes out to win each game. Whether we win one, both or neither of the games remains to be seen but I'm sure the focus will undoubtedly be on winning both.
St's will always be a tough game but I really do think we have a very good chance as they are not in great form themselves and have probably had an easier start to their season than we have.
Be interesting to see if Regan Grace is ruled out or not for Friday night s game. Hopefully Bowden will be back for us and get some valuable game time before the cup game a week later, [url=https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/josh-bowden-hull-fc-injury-5455184Bowden injury update[/url

A coach who's preaching about consistency , picking and choosing which game to make more of a go in..........
I don't think so.
What's the situation with Grace, did he not take the HIA? Surely he had to take one and if so what was the result

Grace is out

I'm convinced a player could lay on Fonua for 20 seconds and we wouldn't get a set restart, he has clearly been spotted by refs as a 'milker' so teams can do whatever they want to him.

Yet that's what other teams do (that seem to "earn" set restarts). I notice certain refs who seem seduced by players thrashing around when tackled, throwing their arms up in the air when they get up and complaining. It would be interesting to see the stats on set restarts gained for all teams, to see where we figure.

Seems that way, if you watch Sao too when we're defending, he literally has a millisecond to get out the tackle or the refs give a set of six again. Cators another

| Walmsley was on the bench for Saints on Saturday. Maybe he is carrying a niggle (watch him start and have a stormer on Friday)

Getting battered (physically) by the Dragons won't have done Saints any favours. I think we have a real chance on Friday.

I really hope not as Brown deserves a game , has alot more to his game than both Bowdem and Fash (who could do with a rest maybe). I really hope Brown has agreed a contract as if he hasn't and I was him, I would be looking at other clubs. I honestly believe that if Brown was at Wigan he would playing every game.

| Think Fash has done well when he’s come on.
Maybe have Brown instead of Johnstone? Cator can cover hooker

I agree, really like Brown. He's small but makes good yards and has a good offload game. Hodgson seems to prefer Fash atm, who isn't flashy and has a low error count
Brown, Cator and Lane should be the cornerstone of our pack for the next 10 years.

| I’d go.
1) Brett Hodgson
2) Cam Scott
3) young Jude
4) young Litten
5) Miitch
6) Maccas lad Ben
7) Sneyd ( to win us the game)
Jack Brown ( he needs a game)
9) Johnstone
10) Radders ( if we still hold his reg)
11) Lane ( go forever)
12) Cator ( see above)
13) Connor Wynne
Subs unused for guidance only
Tag
Mint
Bowden
Massi
There will be changes for the next match, if we lose any percentages.

I think we got battered also with all the defending we had to do
A lot of tired and bruised bodies in our team

Faraimo played 12 minutes at Leeds so dont see the point,the same with Johnstone who did 20 mins.
That said i would start him for Fonua.
Fonua used to get us several penalties in a game but now cant even get us set restarts so that part of his game has gone and Faraimo has a bit more pace and seems to make more metres.
If we are going to use Johnstone then i would start him and let Danny Houghton come off the bench which gives us a better attacking threat and keeps him a little fresher.
Its likely Bowden will be in the 17 to give us a bit more size and it will be interesting what he does with Brown.
Not knocking Fash for effort but Brown is by far the better impact player and has an offload in his game.
