Kelly back, still no Houghton, manu or paea according to the wail.

Surely a comfortable win?

In the life of being a Hull FC supporter can we ever say 'Surely a comfortable win'? as we always seem to make heavy weather of things and never really had the ruthless streak of going for the jugular against teams that are struggling. That said it could be argued we are also struggling at the minute to find consistency in both individual and team performance.

2 years ago we were 20-0 down v Rovers and Yeaman popped that ball to Shaul and the rest is history....
I'm beyond convinced if we'd lost that game that it was game over for Radford.
It's quite possible we may be in that sort of game again on Good Friday - in that we MUST win.
Losing to Le Cats coached by the buffoon may be the start of the last straw ?

Anyways I'm sure we will win but finish the season in 8th

Catalan will come good at some point and this will probably be the game they do. I see us losing this one tbh

If we lose to this Cats outfit at home we've got problems.

But at least one or two on here will be happy.

You are Neill Hudgell and I claim my £5

If Seb is, then Hudge is bipolar, as Bumpy is his alter ego.

or maybe Cooke and Murdock have been spinning us a tale, like they do in the HDM!

Looking at the squad I'd go

Shaul
Talanoa
Carlos
Connor
Faraimo
Kelly
Sneyd
Taylor
Washy
Green
Hadley
Mini
Abdul

Bowden
Fash
Masi
Griffin

Is Shaul Fit to play?
If so the only change id make to your line up would be to Start Bowden and have Chris Green off the bench as he seems to have more impact than Bowden at the moment.
Have a feeling though we will see Jack logan in the line up

Weve been poor to average in five of the six games this year, only in one game have we looked decent but it still took us 20 minutes to get started in that one. We look about as good as KR atm and thats pretty damning considering the clubs constant crowing about wanting to be in the GF

Catalan have a decent side that isnt gelling and looks in total dissaray possibly down to coaching but that same coach is back at his former club and often they manage to turn up results against their former employees and prove a point.

I have no confidence this FC side that is minus its two talisman (Ellis and Houghton) can beat anyone tbh

Other than the cup games we were pretty abject for much of last season. It's easy to forget we are playing without the only hooker we have in the squad

SO the mighty SALFORD who spanked us
also lose to Widnes and Giants (who KR beat)
Was it really the Reds being amazing v us or were we total pants ?

If as seems we were very poor then Cats game could be pivotal as they are even worse than us at the moment

We were total pants. Never looked like scoring after Hadley's try and Shaul was our only threat with his broken field running but that obviously disappeared down the tunnel with him in the 2nd half.

My word, we need Kelly back tonight.

Widnes only played a quarter of the game the week before, and usually do alright on the plastic pitch. Not a surprise they beat Salford. But I don't think Salford are as poor as some (including myself) expected. Not making excuses, by the sounds of it hull were turd.

big game tonight, getting nervous, atm any win will do for me,

widnes aren't a bad side but this is the 3rd season in a row they have suffered horrible injury problems. Surely at some point someone looks at whether there is a link between this and their plastic pitch?

Salford aren't that good but we suffered from a lack of size missing paea manu and watts from what we'd had before. I think it's a mistake going the season without replacing watts

Jack Logan in Doncaster squad this weekend.
Shame because i thought he may have played tonight

I'd like to replace Watts too but I can't think of anyone. When Paea is back our props will start to look right.

And when he gets injured again????

Griffin starts again in front of Connor.
Dont get it

Much needed win! And nice to get a few points on the board. Just a shame to let 2 trys in at the end. But hopefully a big confidence boost to the lads with a couple of very winnable games coming up next. Would be disappointed to lose either of them.

Didn't think we played that well, not very fluent with the ball but got to be happy with the win. Thought they made good metres with the ball but had no creativity in the halves

A solid win going by the scoreline (I haven't listened or read anything) and very much needed confidence booster before playing the East Hull lot.
Hopefully no injuries either!
Let's hope this can jump start our season!

2 very important points and a confidence boost
We had a good initial 15 minutes but Catalan made easy yards which teams are now doing against us.
Taylor had his best game for a while, Carlos again showed what a centre should be doing on the field.
Just hope Dean Hadley injury is not too bad.Knee injury.
Think we need another established front row even when Paea is fit.
Understand the clubs stance but wish we hadnt offloaded Watts
Jordan Lane continues to impress.Can see Turgut now going out on loan
