Following Sunday's excellent effort against Featherstone Rovers it's back to the league and a top of the table clash with John Kear's Bradford Bulls.

Connor Bower, Liam Harris and Richard Owen all sat out the Challenge Cup fixture and could be recalled whilst dual registration players such as Hakim Miloudi could also be available to Richard Horne.

Looking forward to this fixture and potentially the biggest crowd of the season.

And Jordie or is he injured and I've missed it. It's certainly a good selection problem for the Coach to have.

i was just going to post here for Sunday and Wanderer just beat me too it.

Yes i am really looking forward to this match. Especially after Sundays performance, if we play as we did against fev with the same intensity and effort i think we WILL win.

I'll bet the bookies don't give us 28pts start this week!

Skybet have got us as 2nd favourites now at 6/1 to win the league.
We won't be that after Sunday if we win.
Bradford still 1/2 Fav.

Excellent offer for Hull fans (who won't be in France) for the Bulls game. Well done to the Club(s) . https://www.hullfc.com/news/2018-04-24- ... for-gbp-20

agree with that moonshine. well done to all.

Hulls squad for the Catalans game to be announced Noon(ish) on Thursday 26th. Should provide a clue as to who may be in ours.

I'd take Miloudi and Litten...not sure I'm bothered about much else

This is a huge game and it will put down a big marker to tell us whether we are genuine promotion candidates, I said from day one Bradford will win the league but they are very beatable and with home advantage and a near full squad to chose from I'm pretty confident, not looked forward to a game as much as this cmon boys no excuses don't let us down!

We need to learn how to play the ref as well ...

just like Featherstone did

i'm sure some refs are just dumb, if we can see it why cant they, and just keep penalising
the players that are acting all the time they will soon learn.

And yet the Fev fans were berating some of their players for play acting for penalties, especially on the fifth tackle, which the ref didn't fall for and gave us the penalty. (source Total RL fans Fev section)

I would hate it if the game follows Football with players 'play acting'

Bradford apparently extended the opening hours of their ticket office yesterday to help meet demand

Miloudi named in the Hull squad

Brilliant

Joe Westerman might be better for this game if he's fit,available, and eligible?

Half expected it with the game being on his home soil so to speak. At least Litten won't be travelling and should be included in our 19 at a guess.

I was struggling to think where I'd play Hakim, but he does offer and X factor that would have been useful (although I was only saying the other day, has he played that well in big games? or does he just annihilate the little ones?)

In answer to your question its a pity he missed the York game, that would have told us more.

I thought that he had been targeted (not in a rough way) during his latter games for us. If you watch the opposition they number up on him and that may be due to the threat he poses. Laying a hand on him is another matter of course



I would plump for playing him at 3 but perhaps he is an ideal sub, he is capable of play anywhere along that back line when coming on. Nice problem to have where ever he appears.

Yes, I'd have played him in the centres if available

Didn't he win us the Newcastle game?
Scored one ... laid one on?

I think more to the point ... that whatever reason ... some sides like York and Bradford have, or will, benefit from his absence.

Just another reason why I think we will struggle.

He did do that yes, but he didn't come across as the best player on the pitch and very nearly ballsed up the one he set up. I'm not knocking him, I'd rather have him than not, was just musing if I could remember him dominating a better team like he regularly does the lesser teams

Academic really ... in practical terms it is one less for Bradford to worry about.
They must be chuffed!

I don't think he has been available to shine against the better sides yet and in two cases York and Fev we lost.
He was brilliant against Whitehaven and they have rallied ... no slouches.
