A performance like the Wigan one and we wont be far off Wire imo.

Big pack Wire, can we match them? I think Watts is a huge loss although, I am yet to hear anything whatsoever on his injury. I think he was the main reason we progressed as we did second half of the season last year, big unit with a lot of skill.

Can't see us winning with all these forwards out but hopeful of a good show. When are Westerman and Tickle due back?

hodgson ruled out for wire, minor knee op, will miss two weeks

You obviously have some concern about us seeing as your posting on the Hull FC board.

The Pyongyang Panthers forum doesn't allow posts by North Korean nationals.

I'm gutted I'm not here for this one I was really looking forward to seeing a good match which i think will be either very close or an absolute whitewash for one team but i really couldn't say which one. I think if its close We may just edge it with Briers now bringing us a decent kicking game again.

As it stands though i reckon I may be the only lad wearing a wire shirt in Newcastle asking for them to put the match on

I dont really expect us to win just as long as we are competitive and come through the game with no injuries I'll be happy

Big test for our defence this game, defend well and we have a shot. I'd settle for a competitive game and give a good account of ourselves.

On there board, All their score predictions are Wire by 16, Wire by 22 ect... I think we are better than that! I have confidence we can push them all the way! With a few players back! Confidence up with a few good performances of late! WE CAN DO IT!

A set of arrogant s.
Hope we can wipe the grins off their smug faces.
COYH.

Not all of them are like that - have a look at the "banana skin?" thread

Us by 14

I meant on that particular thread on their site.

Us by 10.. Beat them there last time, hopefully do it again

Quite correct about the select group of arrogant tw__s. Quite a few of them see through primrose and blue glasses, born in the glory years of 2009 and beyond.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to a real forward battle, and two great attacking sides. Crooks v Atkins could be a belter, the young lad has done really well since getting his chance.

Word from the wise, lager in the ground is sewage, stay in the pubs around the ground a bit longer instead! Enjoy the game

Always seems to me when I think we are in good form and fancy an FC win, we get poked.

When I'm felling pessmistic about them, they go and surprise me with a great performance and win.

So I say we have no chance and we are gonna get smeggin battered.

With tickle, westy and watts available I think it would have been a cracking game. Without them I think they have too much in the forwards but not too worried about losing this one as I think we can go on and take 4 or 6 points from the next 3 games which will set us up nicely for the remainder of the season

same! I've been thinking we're overdue a complacent/crap performance since before the Wakey game

Did we ?

In the league we did


But you're right last time we went there in the play offs they beat us.

It was Easter Monday 2011 that we beat Warrington. Our only victory over them since 2007 (twelve games).
