Thoughts lads? big game this one for both clubs. Hull a big game to try get some wins on the go and the bulls to try and get some consistent rugby going and wins. Going to be a hard game and to be honest i dont know which way it will go. Got a feeling though that you will take this one. Think if this is a win for us agar will be out and ive got a feeling your players will lift to the occasion. Hopefully im wrong but got a feeling. Hope its a gud game anyway.

I'll be happy if we win the toss!

Will be a scrappy win for Hull. bradford are pretty poor

Same scenario as the Cas and Wakey games in that while we have the better squad, the opposition have a vastly superior coach. Having beaten Quins and apparently played quite well against Cas we are due a big drop in performance levels now, so I think Bradford will come out on top by two scores or more.

If we win, we should sign Agar for another 2 years. Hes the Crapello of the SL!

Hull should win but we said the same before our last two home games and look how they turned out. All the same there were some signs against Cas and the players should be fired up after the whole Child episode so im going for 28-18 to Hull.

hull win by 40........whoops brainfart i mean 4

if we play like we did against Cas and have a ref that calls 50/50, we will win comfortably....

You mean like the ref did this week?

Raynor will come back to haunt you if hes in our squad. Either him or ainscough anyway!

Why, none of us need an ink cartridges, thanks.

I fear another loss im afraid.....lets hope its about the rugby next game though and not the clown in the middle.

you should def win this as you lost to them at home and we beat them. wait a minute...

I forgot, logic and reason arent a requirement for a hull fc fan. at least you have crocker in your side.

I was relatively happy with the Cas performance and a repeat would see us beat Bratfud fairly comfortably I reckon.

Is there any actual point to your post?

to show the lack of reasoning behind some of the posts. Im happy to discuss the game but some logic or supportive arguement may be of use. I think it should be close as the bulls have struggled with decent packs which I believe you have. I also believe the way to beat hull is with a strong kicking game which we have nt shown.

However, we should win seems to be lacking in detail and ignoring form ever so slightly. Does that explain the point of my post a little more?

Seriously?? What a pointless post.. Even more pointless then me replying to it.

Will definitely be a tough game for us.

Injury list from last week was Langley, Briggs, L'Estrange, Raynor, Platt, Halley

You can add Addy to that this week and I think most of them are still out.

Our defence will have to be better than it was vs Quins for us to win though. Looking forward to see (if he plays) How Burgess does running at some bigger men.

Some injury list you've got there. Happy with your new squad and coach so far?

Just because some choose not to discuss their reasoning does not necessarily mean there isn't any. Certainly the Crocker comment seemed a bit unreasonable.

In answer to the OP, hull by 6 - why? I have my reasons

Yeah I would say so. We've done pretty much how I expected, lost to Hudds, Leeds, Saints & Wigan. All have better squads, the rest (except Cas) I expected us to win before the season, and Cas I thought could go either way.

Most of our new signings have impressed me - Diskin, Elima & Ainscough probably the top 3.

It's clear to me that we don't go into any games without a gameplan anymore. The players know what they need to do and (with the exception of Hudds) they haven't let their heads srop this season. That's the best change from last season, team spirit is double.

I expect a close game of poor quality played by two very ordinary teams, it could go either way. I think Hull might just have the edge, thanks to Agar being forced to play Obst from the off.

I hope Agar and his boys have the same attitude as this.

So do I

What? Thinking you'll just have to play to beat us because we're "pretty poor' and you'll "beat us comfortably"?

I wouldn't take that attitude with any side. Underestimate us at your peril, yes we've been patchy in spells this season, but Huddersfield apart we've given the top sides some scares and are still the only team to have turned Cas over. With L'Estrange possibly back, I'm quietly confident, but likewise you to us, I wouldn't underestimate Hull.
