Put the strongest team out.

Just supposing we have to play them again in the middle 8s it would be better to do it on the back of a good victory in the cup.

We can always spell players in the match itself if we are comfortably ahead

Sheffield cannot wait for this game, they're hoping for 300 Eagles fans to attend the game...Free Entry for them should help !

Putting loads of emoticons after your comment does not make it funny...

He's hilariously funny, he called us Huddersfield-Sheffield the other day, truly the Archbishop of Banterbury!

Here is hoping for a good game on Sunday, looking forward to it!

I'm behaving like a twit (for the i replace it with a), just like your Angelica Cynic !

Watts and Yeaman possibly back. Green's got strapping on here in the gym, maybe not too far away? https://vine.co/v/ezqzDw662qq

Anyone who is travelling down and fancies a drink before the game, the Sheffield Tap at Sheffield Train Station (if you're travelling by train) is pretty good.

The Rutland Arms (S1 2BS) is a good pub, about 5 minutes walk from the ground. The Globe is also ok, opposite Sheffield Hallam University.

As it's a Sunday, on-street parking around the ground is free.

Safe journey to those travelling down.

Great picture (on Hull FC [url=https://twitter.com/hullfcofficial/twitter[/url) of the winning team parading the 1914 challenge cup.

The little guy in the middle is actually bumpy, who was the club's assistant video analyst at the time.

Strongest possible squad. I'd go with

Shaul
Lineham
Michaels
Talanoa
Naughton
Pryce
Rankin
Paea
Houghton
Watts
Mini
Sa
Westerman

Cunningham
Bowden
Feka
Thompson

Yeaman and Howarth to miss out.

I'd go with that except I'd swap Cunningham and Houghton around.

Pretty sure that Yeaman if fit will start.

Looks good. Hopefully enough to do the job, think it'll be a good test.

He's picked the strongest squad available. Don't agree with it personally.

I'd agree if we were in any sort of form.

He is totally right with his team selection IMO, if he had rested some and we got beat, the criticism of Radford on here would be unbelievable.

Tough game away at a confident team.

We should have too much for them though and I expect us to win by 16-20 points at least.

Our poor form has caused people to worry unnecessarily imo. There is still a big gulf in class. We can afford to rest the likes of Pryce, Minichiello and Houghton and still win pretty easily.

Wakefield, Rovers and Salford will all win without getting out of 2nd gear too.

1000 is pretty good - wonder if that's presales or total expected.

That'll be FC fans, purely for the novelty of possibly seeing us win 3 in a row.

The best we can hope for in this situation is a good performance without busting any players, no good racking up a shed load of points if we pick up needless injuries trying to get invovled in a war of attrition.
Play smart, use our fitness/speed and know-how to bully them from the off and hopefully their heads will go down and the 2nd half is a more about making sure the players aren't overly extending themselves..

I get your point, but this blase over confidence is misplaced. We should not take this for granted. We are not playing well, we are bottom 4, and we could lose.

It's not overconfidence, it's squad rotation. We have 32 players in our squad (I know they are not all currently available) and they are all supposedly Superleague standard. We are coming off the back of the Easter period, we have two vital home games coming up and we have some guys who to me look like they need a break. I don't want wholesale changes. We can afford to rest a handful of guys as long as the ones who do play turn up with the proper mindset.

If we lose I will be the first to admit I was wrong, but I don't think we can lose. I expect a win by 40+

Maybe, but Wakefield and Halifax are 10-10 on 33 minutes.
