Think it could just be a bridge too far, would love to turn them over but be very suprised.

Wont be a lot in it though I think.

My head says a game too far and Huddersfield by 10-16. My heart says PG has installed a belief and steel into us that could see us winning by 6-10.....its great being a Hull fan at the moment!!

We need to get right into Broughs face, his kicking game is a big danger.

thats a big task, one of the only players in the league who can hand off with his forehead

Can't see us winning this. I'll end up getting soaked and we'll lose anyway

The way we have started playing I would normally want a dry pitch, but after a hard game on Friday I think a wet pich may be a bit of a leveller and may work in our favour overall.

Can't really see us getting a result but as others have said would sacrifice 2 points today for a cup win on Sunday. Seems Giants fans are thinking similar and with suggestion that Hudds are resting a couple of players (mind games?) it could be interesting

I dont think we will win but my head is saying we could.

i just dont no what to think. we've been playing really well lately but think it could be 1 game to far with all the injuries

We will win. It's a new era and a new belief. I think we are just in that catagory of teams who are just playing below the level required to win something ie:- Hull, Hudds, Cats, Wire. Saints, leeds, Wigan are still in that top bracket.

Not sure Brough is playing . picked up a knock against Salford

Are you related to Les Dawson?

put warrington in the top bracket as they have won 2 challenge cups, though failed in the play offs so far

not sure whats changed but reece lyne 18th man now. Training session yesterday so couple must of dropped out!

Not mind games.

i would expect 4 first choice forwards to not play today but play Sunday (O'Donnell, Faiumu Ferguson and Gilmour). However the guys likely to be 'covering' for them aint bad : Mason Faalogo Lawrence and Molloy. Three of those cover players did not play versus Salford and Lawrence played centre rather than backrow.

No, but I am a distant relation to tommy cooper.

If that's true, there may be a concern about Wade McKinnon.

If that's the case, then I'm confident that we'll be league leaders come this evening.

brough will play-more mind games!!

Presume horne isn't playing.

I've heard he's out for two weeks. Gives Ellis a chance to shine, and Nicklas will probably slot onto the bench.

If Lynes 18th man i'd presume Kent is playing?

think he is now,wasnt at first cos kent wanted to play 20s against rovers and had to miss to make sure he could cover today! Lyne not chance of playing only if injury in warm up,more a case of Gentle keeping youngsters close n feeling involved i think!

stopped raining now over here and sun trying to get through should make for good game, brough plays says in local rag this morning, good luck and hope the usual good away support from fc turn up.

If Lyne is playing then I wouldn't be confident. I'm not convinced with him at fullback. However, in Gentle we trust.

I don't expect Horne to play and I don't think he should be risked. No point in potentially worsening his strain.

Whatever today's result it will be interesting to see any changes in tactics in the second match based upon what the coach learns in the first encounter. Unless of course we totally dominate today, but even then based on previous after match comments from our coach he will still expect an improvement.

I'm quietly expecting a Hull win.

Huddersfield have a few of their forwards resting, so that will help our forwards get on top if they play like they did against rovers.

In terms of the backs, on form and the way we are scoring, at range aswell, we match or even better that of Huddersfield.

Grix i heard is rested aswell, so this will benefit us.

I reckon it'll be a scrappy affair, with very little in the way of points scored, the winners being the team that win the battle down the middle, and take their chances when they get them.

Come on you hull!
