I don't see the point in having Shaul in, can't see where he fits in. Hope Savelio gets a run.

Agree on both points. Hoping Andre is at least on the bench

Tom Johnstone recovered his speed even after two ACL injuries.
You either have speed or you dont
McIntosh doesnt even before his injury

I agree
its the same when naming Barron now twice as 18th man.Pointless naming him in the squad if you have no intention of playing him.
For me we need Savellio in for Lane and one of the young wings with some pace for Mcintosh who needs to be moved on.
Can see Litten on the wing for Leigh unless Hoy is Injured at the weekend.

Agreed I just don’t see any real point in Shaul being in the 21 as he is behind Hoy & Litten for the FB and don’t see any real place him in the 17.

As for McIntosh I was surprised when he got the intercept against Salford just how slow he was, it was like he had concrete boots on. Any other winger would have gone the length, Brierly even managed to stop, turn around and still caught him easily. We really do lack pace on the right edge and would like to see Barron get a shot.

Is Barron good enough though? I remember in the saints game last year he had an absolute shocker (although many others in the team did too), genuine question, does he have the ability to do well in first team? Or is he another youngster with promise that may end up at a championship team?

I like the look of Martin more than Barron tbh

I know it looks like a big loss coming, but Warrington are a long way off where they should be , with that squad and maybe the likes of Vaughan, Dufty and Josh Maguire have brought their bad attitudes over to them. Vaughan and Maguire were both slated for drinking and having a party, involving a few St George players (think Dufty was one of them there that day) while the Aussie's were under the strictest lockdown during Covid, not only that but also tiktoked the event, such was their disrespect to the public and disregard for club rules, so maybe that culture has started to spread across a squad that, last year was slated for its attitude? Who knows, but I would like to think we'll at least match up, effort wise.

I would swap top-spot for our current league position and all 3 players mentioned above would breeze into our current 17.

Savelio in for Staveley I'd put Dre on the bench for Brown
Hoy
McIntosh/Barron
Scott
Sutcliffe
Swift
Trueman
Clifford
Sao
Houghton
Fash
Lane
Griffin
Cator
Subs
Satae
Taylor
Dwyer
Savelio

Dwyer to score the match winner in the dying second. Then gets up and kisses the badge infront of the wire fans.

Wire to announce on Monday he's signed for them.

Strong squad. Nice to see Savelio back.

i'd like to think we're playing better now than last time we played them , Will be a tough assignment but Wire have wobbled a few times recently . Hoping for a tight game .

Your reference to that podcast brings back memories of the the first Hull v Warrington game I attended back in 1948 when the great Brian Bevan played in a superb team including( among others) Harry Bath, Gerry Helme and an often racially sledged Roy Francis.

Hull had a few Aussies playing - Bruce Ryan(wing),George Watt(hooker) and Duncan Jackson(scrum half) and other players were Ivor Watts, Harry Markham and my favourite player at that time Freddie Miller.

The game was won easily by Warrington with B Bevan scoring at least 2 memorable tries with Francis starring too. I believe Warrington topped the league that season with Hull around mid-table.

Moving on to the 'Magic' game I predict Hull will eke out a win.

Always good to hear Freddie's bygone memories.
Shame about the proverbial kiss of death with his tipping.


10-03am train tomorrow from Paragon.
4 hours on the lash in The Strawberry before kick-off.
Sesh afterwards, win lose or draw.
Sleeperz hotel around the corner from station before Monday morning train home.
Easy innit.
Come on the Boys.

How was that Watkins try not given?? At very least not sent to the screen.
Hoping that's not the standard of officiating this weekend is in for.

Expect noting more from Kendal just another poor decision calling held while tackle still hadn’t been completed.

Croft is so good.
We did well to keep him as quiet as we did last week.

Even if it’s not a try they usually allow ptb.

No double movement at all

Kendal absolutely having Salford's pants down today. Unsurprisingly no booing from the Rovers fans today!

Kendal killing Salford with some of his decisions.

Terrible game this to start the weekend. It's close which gives some excitement, but both teams been shocking really

Why do Salford always bomb so many chances against Rovers?

Don’t against us.

.Balloon has popped

Rovers proving to be a 1 man team with 1 tactic.
Adbull kick the ball high.
Without that they're just a rubbish mid table team like the rest of us.
Lewis showing how overrated he's been. Doesn't have the ability to step and lead a team around.
