Without a doubt , Has to go with this combo .

They've gone for doule headers in recent years - Bolton, Leigh, Elland Road.

Hull FC v Hull KR and Leigh v Wigan/Warrington on the same day in the same stadium would be... fun.

Actually think hoy could be a better running half than full back

Problem with double headers is half the crowd disappear for majority of the other game

Actually think if we played them in a SF would pull 18k on our own

11,000 fc / 7,000 them

Have to say Tuimavave looks like he has lead in his boots

Or carnage.

I'm sure I read that the semis are going to be at separate venues this year, the right decision too, as people have said, double headers don't really work as most people stay for one game, two separate games makes it feel like more of an event too

Yeah seperate venues for Semi's this year, Id play Litten on the wing ahead of McIntosh, Mac and Carlos was shocking in D on Friday.

Oh well any hope I had on us getting a result is gone with the news that Kendal is the appointed Referee on Saturday.

Ffs.

It’s always him when we play Saints



Definitely no chance now then

Moooooove, six againnnnnnnn, can we just check the grounding, I have no try.

well lets hope the video ref is not six re run Thaler.
Can we just go back on that please,have you a better angle than that,no go back to the first one please
Cant be bothered any more i have made my decision

And chuck in a yellow as well.
Looks like Saints a bringing a few over .

I'd be in favour of giving Hoy a game in the halves as we need a bit of a spark of creativity to beat Saints and in all honesty, McNamara doesn't have that. Trueman and Hoy in the halves would be unpredictable and adding Litten in at 1 would at least give us an exciting 1/6/7 combo.

Hoy at halfback could also open his game up and boost his attacking confidence (which we saw at Magic) - if he could chime in a la Jai Field at 1 with Trueman and Clifford then we'd have the nucleus of a very good team - just needs the rest of the side to be built around those three and a new hooker.

Hoy looks like a real confidence player and if he picks up an assist in a game you'd back him to do the same again not soon after.

Just stick whoever can do the delayed pass to Griffin like Clifford does in the halves, make sure our defence is like it was v Wigan and we'll have a chance

Saints have sold their initial allocation from Hull which I believe was 800. They have been sent a further allocation.

Satae for Clifford only change

Just wondering who's doing the kicking duties come Saturday , Hoy , McIntosh or Griffin ?

Sutcliffe?

100% was a good kicker at Leeds

Bloody Hell, he’s going to stand out at scrum half, why we letting him go if he’s that versatile

I hate moving players out of position but I think I’d opt for Hoy in halves and Davy at full back.

Davy is better at full back than Ben Mac is at 7. I also think we need to get as much game time into Davy as possible

Playing MaNamara would be a disaster and offer us zero attacking threat in their 20.
Moving Hoy is a good option but i would go with Sutcliife who is probably the better defender and offers a bit more size when running the ball.
That said we cant seem to second guess Smith as he continues to play Lane and McIntosh and with Tuimavave well off the pace you can see where Saints will target

Verstile and fast.He must be the only prop i have known to get a hamstring injury

They're coming here with a strong line-up. Pretty much not far off their full strength team.

If you can't get up for playing against the best then you may as well turn it in.

I think Tag and Fash are gonna rise to the challenge and have big ones. Then Ligi and Big Chris come on to put us on top.

Big game for Truman with Clifford missing. He needs to earn his stripes.

Don't know if we'll get the result but we'll give them a contest.
