Now the Westermunch inquiry is over moving back on to the game on Sunday, whilst its not beyond the realms of Westy playing I'd be surprised if he is, doubt he'll be in the right place mentally thats without the stuff that will likely come his way from the crowd.
I see bookies have it as a fairly even game which I'd agree with, think it will be fairly tight opening but then likely to open up in the 2nd 40mins. Hoping for a nice dry and mildish afternoon and seeing some decent rugby, think we will edge out as winners. Surprised to see so many Cas fans being so confident about a result even after our awful form last season. Think this season is a difficult one to predict due to number of changes most teams have made over the pre season.

I can't see anything other than a win for Hull Fc by about 10Pts.

Way to go Joe kids disowned him wife left him what a guy he is! I predict a few choruses of 'you only sing when your rimming' on Sunday!!!

Don’t disagree Wilf, always liked Joe but he has always had a bit of an issue in terms partying but thought he’d finally got his act together. Sadly it seems that his old issue is very much still prevalent in him.

He’d been an absolute tool and feel for his wife, kids and family.

As I said earlier I’d be surprised if he plays on Sunday though I don’t doubt ‘’You only sing when you’re rimming’ will be sung with gusto whether he plays or not. Can’t see him playing for a while if I’m honest.

He nearly got away with it. When he was ready to finish, the female involved said six again.

I wasn't one of the many idiots who fell for covid whilst the government were laughing and partying away

Well Houghton hasn't started either friendly

Hopefully smith has seen what I've said for a long time we have 2 players who offer much more than Houghton now ( dwyer and lovodua )

I've heard many people suddenly say how refreshing to have a attacking hooker like dwyer already

I’m up for this one 2am kick off Sunday night monday morning ! ouch

It is not yet advertised as being televised live on Fox 502 Channel TF, so where is it being shown?

Radio Humberside with the Doyle for me

Same as Talentboy, who will be shouting at the radio everyone Hoighton gets the ball.

Have you tried FC live Facebook feed?

East Stand sold out. Expecting at least 13k. After the dross served up over the last few seasons most other clubs can only dream of achieving that.

I took up the ticket offer and bringing my mate and his lad.

They're on their last chance though. Took them to the Leeds and Rovers games last season

if we lose they're not getting another invite

We've put on these offers before get big crowds and invariably fluff our lines. 17k+ v Warrington play-off game springs to mind.

Was it a play off game or the League Leaders Shield decider?
Heady days, to think we had a chance of a clean sweep of trophies is unimaginable.

Yep. Semi final 2016. Lost 23 - 6. Brilliant atmosphere just before kick off - then the game started....

That's definitely the year we threw away the best we'd ever had to not just get back to a GF but to go on to win. Had we not won the CC I honestly believe we'd have gone on to take the LLS and the GF.

Such a shame we never built on that year but at least we now seem to heading in the right direction and experienced people now within the club to help get it back up there not just to occasionally challenge but to regular challengers and winners. As much a don't like Rovers I believe their improvement will also be of help to us and vice versa.

Can't wait till Sunday. Really positive ATM. Not saying where gonna win any trophys but I honestly believe we will have a good season. For me that would be top 6 finish and no hammerings and getting the fans believing we have a team to be proud of.

Wrong was for the league leaders

Wigan beat us in play offs

I think we were better in 2017

Kelly was better than pryce or any sneyds partners in 2016 and added a new string to the bow

No doubt "comeonyouull" will come and say pryce was better

It was the last game of the "Super 8s" and the loss meant Warrington won the League Leaders Shield and we dropped from 2nd to 3rd and therefore missed out on a home play off. It was the first time we'd been out of the top two since May. We lost three of the four Super 8 games after the Cup win.

It was a great occasion though with a big travelling contingent from Warrington.

Although the result didn’t go our way, Wire were excellent and fully deserved their win, but as you say it was a fabulous crowd attendance, the atmosphere was electric, and these are the games we all remember and want to be involved in.

Yep. Corrected.
