Discuss the game here .........................

Lynch's misdemeanour might not be all that costly. Whether we got one point or two yesterday, we needed to beat Hull and then match their results for the rest of the year. Unless either of us has another draw in our remaining games, the point is enough to eliminate our PD defecit.



Must win.

I can't see us catching up the points difference defecit to be honest despite the massive improvement in the defence.



Sibbit's tackle on Shenton, Elima's on Makinson = amazing.

6. Kearney

19. Raynor

So just drop Herbert all together even though his kicking game forced Saints to go at LEAST 80 meters to score a try? His kicking game gave our defense the chance to be dominant... Kearney is more affective at full back, does more damage going forward, takes the pressure off him, even in a game where he got 2 touches all game whilst linking into play due to weather conditions and made 2 half brakes from 2 posessions you want to play him at 6? Shad should be at centre, its where he made his name at Fax untill he was forced to play at one.

Hey it's my opinion, Herbert is okay and the conditions helped him, against other teams in better conditions he has been average, Harlequins for example, he made too many mistakes in attack. And I liked the look of Kearney at 6 against Leeds. Royston has been extremely solid at FB.

Tight game, packs and halfbacks pretty equal.



I think we should hold the edge out wide, so if it's dry day I expect a tight Hull win.

Fingers crossed we have done our homework on young Tom this time unlike at the KC stadium where his two late tries sunk us.

Team selection is going to be interesting because, in all fairness, nobody really deserved dropping after St Helens.



Still, I expect Scruton to come back, probably off the bench. And, of course, Addy to replace L'Estrange. Apart from that it will probably be unchanged, which is pretty harsh on Royston....

Wille Manu is the main player to stop, outstanding this season, with him Yeaman and Briscoe on the left side it's a good combination.



I'm hopeful Gleeson is fit to play as he makes a big difference on the right, although we don't use him correctly.



Westerman has also looked good in the last few games as he has go his hands on the ball more.



We will have to contain your pack and watch out for Kearney and your two hookers if we are to win.



Edit:just seem the thread about L'Estrange, big blow for him to be out.

This is our biggest game of the season in my opionion. Win and we shold be back in the 8 with our destiny in our hands, on a 4 match unbeaten streak and confidence up.

Lose and I think that will be it for the season.

It's make or break. Come on you Bulls.

Think the Bulls may just edge it. Only because of home advantage.



I think we need Rpyston back in the side. I would rather have O'Brien as replacement hooker than Addy. Last time Addy played there i thought he was very slow distributing the ball from dummy half. My team;



1. Kearney

2. Ah Van

3. Platt

4. Royston

5. Raynor

6. Jefferies

7. Herbert

8.Kopczak

9. Diskin

10. Lynch

11. Elima

12. Whitehead

13. Langley

14. Scruton

15. Hargreaves

16. Sibbit

17. O'brien
