Thanks for that. Cheers

FWIW I'm expecting you lot to soundly beat Huddersfield. If you lose you're in ttouble as Hudds is a side nearly everyone predicts to be in the bottom 4 (again).

I think if we manage to win, it will be close. I also don't think if we lose we'll be in any sort of "trouble", like I don't think Warrington are in trouble either. I'd still anticipate some of our fans going totally over the top if we do lose though.

No mamo, (fb) jerry, (wing) cudjoe, (centre) Murphy,(wing) taai, (prop) symonds, (2nd row) Lawrence, (loose) ferguson, (second row) Simpson, (replacement FB/wing)

So we have 9 out - 8 would generally be first choice 17 - no backs and no back row forwards. If hull don't win tonight that's a big embarrassment!

After our performance last week it wouldn't be a big embarrassment. A medium one, I think.

We are skeptical about our ability to create tries. Tonight will confirm how good we are in that department. We are at full strength in the backs and the weather is dry. Against a weakened Huddersfield back line we should be able to score from open play. We will see.

You mean like last season when they beat us and we finished top and they finished bottom?

Tough game, I don't care who they have out. We were so far short of where we need to be last week that anything other than a big improvement with ball in hand will likely see us lose again

we have 10 first team players out or injured and one we cant recall back from a loan spell.

Ukuama Taai - suspended
Jermaine McGilvarry
Leroy Cudjoe
Jake Mamo
Tom Symonds
Dale Ferguson
Michael Lawrence
Nathan Mason
Aaron Murphy
Jared Simpson - all injured
Adam O Brien - On a loan deal and cant recall

3 young guns will be making first team debuts today with another couple only played a handful of first team games. You should beat us tonight really. I just hope our youngsters do themselves proud.

We should but we were awful last week so I aren't counting any chickens

Are they all definitely out

It doesn't really work like that, though, does it?

We lost there last season despite going into the game unbeaten in ten. We still finished top at the split and they were bottom. We lost twice to Leeds and they were ninth at the split.

yeah our team is

7 players aged 19-21/22
3/4 more aged 22-24

Hull FC: Shaul, Fonua, Tuimavave, Griffin, Talanoa, Kelly, Sneyd, Taylor, Houghton, Bowden, Manu, Minichiello, Thompson.

Subs: Green, Connor, Washbrook, Matongo.

Looking at the sides, I would be really disappointed if we lose tonight.

Good start. 6-0 up.

Sneyeeeeeeed

Marc Sneyd's on fire.

Brilliant from Kelly.

Still sounds like we're not really clicking in attack

24-0.

Aw, Cas have overtaken us. 30 - 0 in their game.

Nice half hope we turn the screw.

There wont be many teams live with Cas this season.
Fast hands,Pace to burn and forwards that can actually bust tackles.

With hudds having so many out and the lads needing to improve after last week it'll do us no harm at all to rack up a few points.
Having Kelly back really important for us, let's hope we don't put the cue on the rack in the second half.
Cas absolutely tearing Leeds a new one, sensational rugby.

Barring injury who will make way for Connor?

Hope he doesnt pull Kelly or Shaul off but Shaul has made a couple of Catching errors
Maybe take Griffin off think he needs to up his game
