The two points are the most important thing but nobody has questioned that. The point I was making is that the bookies have it priced correctly and last season's Cup defeat has no bearing on the odds for the game.

i would be very dissapointed we need to put teams like salford to the sword

Only three 40+ scores in the last two and a half seasons so we are well overdue a big win, but I think tomorrow the bookies have it about right, Hull by 16 would be acceptable.

As for the attendance, I'd hazzard a guess at around 12,500.

Be a lot harder game then people are expecting I think , I will be happy just with 2 points also think last weeks game would have taken a lot out the players

Rumour on the Salford board is that thier best and most important player Holdsworth is out.

If he doesnt play it should be an easy win for Hull.

Fully expect us to win, but I'll say it again - 7-1 on Salford with Ladbrokes is MASSIVE!!!

Hills 4-1
Stan James 4-1
Sportingbet 4-1
Skybet 7/2!!!!

Last time we played them Jeremy Smith another of their key players was out but it didn't do us much good.

I think we'll win, but don't think it will be easy and to quote an earlier poster I don't think we'll "put thenm to the sword".

I couldn't careless if we win by 1point a win is a win and that's what's important.

Just so long as we don't do it the hard way like last week, couldn't cope with two nerve wracking games on the trot.
Must admit I am looking forward to tonight's game.

"Put the to the sword"...whos been buying the Paul Cullen book of Cliches???

I'd hardly class J Smith in the same class as Holdsworth

I'm hopeful of a convincing victory this evening. We are at the opposite end of the table to Salford and have home advantage. I think a win by 20 or so points should be achievable.

There is a real "point to prove" feeling about this one in the camp!
lets hope the nervous energy is used correctly

Hoping an agar team can finally smash the 50 point barrier

Me too

Don't know why people think that Salford are "whipping boys"???

We won't put 50 past them thats for sure.

Take away their very poor game against warrington, the most points they have conceded all season is 36.

Leeds 22-10
Wigan 18-4
Saints Lost 42-34
Warrngton 27-10

I'll be happy with a win

Me too.

I'm beginning to think we will never put 50 past a side again.

We havn't done it in a competative game in 104 attempts and the last time we did it against a Superleague team was 30th April 2006 against Wigan.

wait until we get all of our ten pins on the island and see us go

Sharp's first game - it was 42-0 at half time.

Eight clubs have done it so far this season in SL.

Shouldn't a team that aspires to be top 4 be one of them? TBH I can't see us putting 50 past anyone this season. I would love to be proved wrong tonight, but doubt it.

Possibly. Although you could as easily say that a side that finished 11th and 12th in the previous two seasons and is only halfway through restructuring from several seasons of poor recruitment and retention probably wouldn't. And that's without mentioning the disruptions to the squad this season.


Likewise. We don't have the players to really hammer a side yet, although getting all our first choices (particularly in the halves) on the pitch together for a few games in a row would increase our chances significantly.

I don't care if we win any game by just 1 point...wins a win, 2 points in the bag..

Do you get any more points for winning a game by 60 than 20? Winning by 60 would be nice but after the last 2 seasons just winning is nice. I'd take a season like 2006 were we won most games tight and got to the GF over a season like 2004 were we hammered some teams but didn't even win a play off game.

Could be the difference between finishing 4th or 5th one year.
