v HULL : Fri Jul 14, 2017 9:13 pm  

Massive game next week now!

Will Hull rest a few for the cup game?

Must win game if we want to make the 4!

Re: v HULL : Fri Jul 14, 2017 9:48 pm  

We can do it...we need to make up 5 points
3 wins more than all the teams above us

Too reliant on other fixtures, but we might be "kingmakers"

Would you, a win against shudds gives them a chance of a top 4 place depending on Wakey's result against Saints, where as if they lose it's fifth place with only three home games in the play off's.

Re: v HULL : Sat Jul 15, 2017 1:10 pm  

how many games would we have to win from the last 8 to make top 4????

too much of an ask but if we win at hull can think about it...just maybe.

glad we have got the target for 2017 sorted

How many games? Three more than everyone else between 4th- 8th

If we win next week we have a genuine chance of top 4, draw or lose and I think its just a step too far.

I honestly believe hand of heart Wakefield and Salford will crumble in the super 8s.

Other teams are starting to suffer injuries now, we've had out fair share and are now in the process of getting all our squad back (apart from Symonds & Mamo)

Eden looks like he is out for the season which is a massive blow to Cas, Anything happens to Hardaker now and Cas could start dropping points as their attack will be no where near as effective.

Galloway out for the season for Leeds.

Salford have picked up a few injuries since playing us.

Hull, Leeds, Wigan & Salford all have the extra cup game and could easily pick up some more injuries from that game.

Re: v HULL : Sat Jul 15, 2017 3:21 pm  

for this game id go:

Rankin
Jerry
Leroy
Turner/Gaskell
Darnell

Brough
Gaskell/Ridyard

Seb
Leeming
Rapira

Ferguson
Roberts
Hinchliffe

O Brien
Taai
Wakeman
Clough

If Turner is 100% fit to play then id play Gaskell over Ridyard in the halves.

If Turner isnt 100% then leave him until the first game of the super 8s and put Gaskell at centre and Ridyard back in the halves.

I think when Bruno is back id start with Ferguson and Bruno in the 2nd row and have Roberts coming off the bench for impact and move Taai to prop.

Re: v HULL : Sat Jul 15, 2017 5:08 pm  

If Ridyard can play he should play, our attack looks so much better with him working with Brough and either Gaskell or Turner at centre

Re: v HULL : Sun Jul 16, 2017 10:02 am  

sure turner would like to play against his former club.

wonder if connor will play! think they will have albert kelly back

Not sure why you think wakey will crumble, we have some key players coming back to fitness at the right time
As opposed to last year when we had big injury problems and no realistic chance of doing anything other than finishing 7th after the split. We therefore used the extra games to blood some youngsters.
