You'll maybe get to watch the kid in the flesh 15-20 times in your life. Don't wish one of them away. I want to see Hull win as much as anyone, but I also want to enjoy watching matches and players like eastmond don't come along very often

Excellent point. This game should be on tv. I would like to see the "Master v Apprentice" clash of the 7's.

The return clash...1..0 to the master so far.

True, however I did say "i'd like to see it". I didn't see a thing last time!

Eastmond is a very special talent but I want fc to win at the end of the day and will have better chance without eastmond playing

Eastmond went off after 20mins v barrow y.day

eastmond out for 2 weeks according to Potter.

At present we have the following missing for our match:

Eastmond
Meli
Gardner
Armstrong (replacement winger)
Foster (replacement winger)
Wello
Maurie
Soliola (but he's only played half a match so really doesn't count!)
ETA: Oh, and Wilkin!

I have absolutely no idea who will be at fullback, on the wing or at scrum half. We might have to start pulling fans in for a match or two!

We have been there mate for 2 seasons, it is frustrating to say the least..

would have prepared to play you full strength

What about Wilkin?

Oh yeah, good point!

That's all the ones I mentioned, plus Wilkin!

How could I forget Wilkin?

The list is getting too long for my addled brain.

I bet!



You'll do the double on us, of that I have no doubt.

I'd let you have all them back if you agree to losing Graham and Cunningham!

i admire your confidence!!

Flippin 'eck I hope you are right, would be a massive achievement for us this year



Mind you we have always given you guys a good game on our patch.

Aye...James Graham

Wellens, Armstrong and Roby

Quote ="Sheldon"says here www.redvee.net/viewpage.php?page_id=2 meli, wellens and armstrong will be back?'" That's Redvee. I will only believe it when I hear the team being called out at the match! Wello was a possibility against Barrow, pending a health check, but he didn't play. Meli has been in and out with that hamstring for most of the season. Armstrong got a nasty knock at Murrayfield so it is possible that he has now recovered from that and if so, that's a boost as it means we will have someone to play on one wing! We might even have two wingers if Meli does manage to return (preferably for the full match, unlike last time he returned!).

This is true. Alas!

I have no idea, to be honest, what Saints will do from one match to the next this season. Last season we started a slide down the league that was halted only because the season ran out and many Saints fans blamed that on our awful injury list during the second half of the season. Yet there have been matches this season when our injury list has been almost as bad as that but we have won a game or, as in Murrayfield, tonked the opposition with some sublime play. And then we 'do a Salford', which we did at Salford and again against Barrow last week. To say we were dire would be an understatement. We're like Jekyll and Hyde this season, regardless of our injuries it would seem.

So. We may have a relatively strong side out (definitely minus Kyle, Maurie, Sia, Jon, Jamie and Ade) and play schoolboy bollox or we could have a weakened side out and play like champions. Or any other permutation. I really have no idea these days!

Either way, you do tend to give us a good match at your pad.

Just kick us to death. We can't catch for toffee. Of that I AM certain!

I am sure Mr Long will do just that....as we all know he will relish the occasion.

He will as long as your not playing ketchup rugby.

I won't be very HP if they are

Not goign to get a better chance of beating Saints.

Was feeling confident before I saw the injuries Saints have, now looking at their potential team it would be a very disapointting result if we dont win on Friday.

Irony mode on ' With all them injuries Saints have got, it must be the coach/board/conditioners (delete where applicable) fault'. Irony mode off.
