Move Horne, are you mental?? He will be glued to a pivot spot until the day he can no longer bend down a tie his boots up! The 3 W's (West, Wash and Whit) will all be overlooked for Horne.

I cant see why we stick with Lauaki, he's gash and looks like he cant be ar5ed with Hull FC anymore. Surely we have a kid who can play 2nd row?

I expect Agar to go against the grain and put a winger on the bench. He must be the only coach in SL to do this?

I'm guessing the match preview was written 2 weeks ago then?

He's a visionary

Westerman doubtful.

#hullfc have a doubt over Joe Westerman for tomorrow night, Agar says will leave decision until last minute.

So Washy for Westy if he is out.

Just not bothered about the game at all . Seems like a chore to go watch them and if wasn't a pass holder wouldn't go at all

Not now Heremaia is off quota, think we could well see one of them staying.

'Good Form'
'Three defeats in the last thirteen'

There's been some shocking spin on the website for the last few years which is why I always avoid it, but is this the first time they've resorted to telling outright lies?

Didn't see this post before. Washbrook should be kept away from the halves as much as possible, never mind move Horne for him.

The spin on the club's website has been embarrassing for a long time - you can preview a game and make it sound relatively interesting without resorting to lies. Selection wise I'd go for Ewan Dowes on the right wing, Reece Lyn at prop and Lauaki at full-back. They're about the only combinations we haven't tried!

I think people get a bit carried away with the word "spin". Promoting the game is not spin.

As has already been said they can hardly say "It's Wigan on Friday, we'll probably get tonked and the atmosphere will be a bit crap. By the way it's on telly if you want to save your money."

But claiming the team is in 'good form' and has lost only 3 of the last 13 games isn't 'promotion' or 'spin', it's a blatant lie.

As a Wigan supporter that's just how I feel. During the Noble era I was fed up of the lack of Pre-planned moves as I watched Wigan rely on risky off-loads or 5 drives and a kick. Of course as the play-offs came round the players lifted their game but always fell short because of old fashioned coaching. Maguire has been a breath of fresh air and I was amazed at what he did with the same squad (plus Deacon). Noble was even reluctant to play Sam Tomkins!
I feel that Hull have some great players and if they had Maguire as coach would be in the top 4 of the table. Agar is, sadly, not up to date with modern coaching. Of course, if the off-loads stick, Hull will be terrific but it's a dangerous ploy and can easily surrender possession to the opposition.
I hope Hull get a better coach and the club don't waste their money on players in key positions who are injury prone.

wigan at home should be one of the biggest games of the season. If we get tonked I hope the crowd turn on agar again

Indeed.

I would hope decisions about Fubar have been made, I doubt the result tomorrow or for the rest of the season matter.

Absolutely! If Washbrook has a future at Hull FC (which I doubt) it should not be at half back.

TBF I think Washbrook could make a decent second rower. He looked the part when he first broke onto the season. I don't think a combination of being messed about positionally and our poor coaching set up have helped.

That and being mediocre. We need better than him if we want to challenge for trophies.

Absolutely. Would Wigan, Warrington, Saints , Leeds or Huddersfield sign him? No. Would he be snapped up by an NRL side? No. Would he have a game changing influence for any side in the championship? No.

I fear whatever 17 we put out tomorrow will not be good enough!

Me too, not even coming through for it.

and im still laid on the couch

I'd have gone had I lived in Hull but can't be bothered to drive the 80 mile round trip.

id of gone if i hadnt laid down on the couch
