really hope we get to see some more of jamie ellis on sunday

Looks about right. Very young and inexperienced bench, but a great opportunity for them. Would love Liam Kent to play, but think Green will get the nod.

Should be a close game but think we will have enough to get the two points.

I really don't care how many we win by, as long as we win. Getting league points is the important thing. I'm sure the actual performances will improve as PG's influence starts to show.

I think they'll be some big scores this weekend. Hopefully we'll get to see one.

Apparently the forecast has changed and we are looking at a fine, dry day. Just what we need to rattle some points up. Come on you ULL.

think this is gonna be tight to many people getting carried away i will be happy with 2 point atm

In order to win we must build a victory on our defence. Same whoever we are playing. Get that right and the rest will happen. Concede 30 odd points as Wigan did against them last week and we will pay the price.

Don't think you lads have owt to worry about,I can only see a Hull victory.Been a while since we've won at your place,what we want to see is steady improvement with each game and the commitment and effort that we saw last week against Wigan,although they left a few players out we had 2 young lads at halfback and a 1st choice prop injured as well as 2 of our best players in Scot Moore & Ah Van who despite a lot of negative comments from Bulls fans pre season has been a standout player for us so far.

I'd agree with mick. We were well up for it last week, even after getting caught cold at the start of both halves. It was still a minor miracle we won last week. I think it'll be a major one if we do this week. As long as we compete and give it our best shot, most will be happy.

We're obviously getting stronger with squad additions and injuries but to back up last weeks win with a win at your place this week is asking a bit much.......you can always dream though

As Shaun Mc says

it's 2 competition points that are at stake.

However I will be disappointed tomorrow if we don't beat Widnes by at least 20 clear points on the scoreboard. Our defence should be be good enough to keep them in single figures and we need to show more fluency in attack if we are to persuade the absent fans to return to the KC.

If we concede 22 against Widnes then I'll be dissappointed.

consolation tries

Still shouldn't concede that many regardless if we switch off in the last ten minutes.

Pleased to say the predicted rain looks to have been avoided, so we should be on for the first home game of the season not played in 'arctic' conditions, and hopefully should see some more attacking play as a result.
