Any score predictions ?
Team sheet ?
Suspensions upcoming I imagine
Do we recall Dave Topliss on loan ?

Inc the Wigan friendly we’ve lost our last 8
Matches and scored very few points and
Conceded a shed load

I would say the die hard supporters will be
there on Friday and hats off to anyone going !!

Truly loyal effort

Absentees will likely be:
Fash - injury
Cator - injury
Tindall - injury
Trueman - injury
Carlos - mystery injury
Pele - Ban
Eseese - ban
Sao - ban
Houghton - HIA

Sutcliffe was an illness so he'll likely have recovered but who knows what else the MRP will pick out from the derby, could be more bans.

Lineup could be something like:

Walker
Martin
Sutcliffe
Scott
McIntosh
Hoy
Smith
Ashworth
N. Brown
J. Brown
Okunbor
Lane
Gardiner

Balmforth, Staveley, Laidlaw, Jebson

Hard to see anything but a hammering.

A week into the season and we already have an injury/suspension crisis and we didn't have a strong squad to begin with.

What's the situation with Diakhate?

EDIT - looks like Diakhate played in the training match v Rovers so maybe he'll get a call up.

Genuine post and not knee jerk but it’s a case of where our next try will come from, not a case of the next win. I’m expecting more casualties from the disciplinary because of the punches thrown in the melees in the Derby, Dobbins included.

Wire are 10/1 On at the bookies
That’s out £10 on Wire to win £1

The bookies think we are going to lose by 18 points which is the handicap

I tend to think we will lose by 30 but let’s see

Nothing seems to have changed from last year and we’re in such a rut

How do we get out of it !

The away support will be very important on Friday that’s for sure

Only way out is money, luckily you might be coming for one game later in the season, so should he OK.

Maybe we could have a Hull rlfans night out and you could tell us all your Jamie Shaul stories?

lol why would I meet you ? You’ve done nothing in the game and spend your time looking to throw cheap punches

Be more positive in your interactions with humans -show compassion

Devastated, going to miss out on all those Shaul stories.

Actually I have, years ago, I emailed the club, said I loved the Who and could they use one of their songs to walk out to, rest is history.

Walker
Martin
Sutcliffe
Tuimavave
McIntosh
Hoy
Charles
Ese Ese
N. Brown
J. Brown
Okunbor
Ashworth
Staveley

Balmforth,
Diakhate,
Gardiner
Lane

Scott? for me put in second row/bench if Carlos and Sutcliffe fit

No way will Ese Ese escape a ban, he'll probably miss the London game too.

Be amazed if Carlos is back.

No way Smith won't be in the 17, he will probably be at 7.

I think we'll look something like
Walker
Martin
Sutcliffe
Scott
Mcintosh
Hoy
Smith
J. Brown
N. Brown
Ashworth
Okunbor
Staveley
Lane

Balmforth
Laidlaw
Gardnier
Armstrong/Barron/Charles

Fwiw I didn't think a lot to Wire last night, but of course we are in a dark place

Armstrong out for a while.

Think the last bemch spot will be Litten, Jebson or the French forward.

But think the rest won't be far off.

I agree but they've got some top individual quality players like Williams, Ashton, Vaughan, Fitzgibbon and Musgrove that will be enough to see them through to an easy win.

Cullen will hammer us tomorrow night!

Anyone got any idea what is actually wrong with Carlos?

Absolutely, can see Pele getting 8-10 matches, Sao 3-4 and 2 for Ese Ese.

It does seem all very hushhush, there are rumours he pulls out the squad with the slighest knock and wont take painkiller jabs...but only Carlos and the medical/coaching staff we cant confirm or deny that.

Be nice to have Tuime and Sutcliffe back. Boy do we need them. Our 3/4 against Rovers looked all over the place. Saying that Martin stood out and definitely looks a decent player. Brown to hooker. Smith Hoy halfbacks. Forwards a case of who's fit and not banned. Me and my old mate Bonaire in second row . Mind you we be arguing in every scrum

3rd March
12th May are the only real chance of any points in the first half of the season. Can’t see any chance next week. After London you have Catalan,Leigh and if course Rovers again. You need a small miracle based on the first performance and Pele is a real duff signing.

definitely would.I want a player with a bit of pace partnering me

I'd be the ball handler you could get the runner. If you behave I might even put you through a few gaps

Carlos to six for me if fit,more to organise the team than a running threat
Hoy showed some pace and enthusiasm when he came on.What about a new style elusive,fast 13 role?
