Hull has to be the flakiest team in RL. You have no idea what you are going to gey, occasionally brilliant, usually stubborn and more often than any other top team they can be utter crap.

Slightly o/t but, on the subject of the top sides. After Huddersfield's rude awakening against Wigan, every side has suffered at least one defeat and although it's still (very) early days, it could point towards a more open season, with the possible exception of Toronto, who currently look to be in all sorts of trouble with their wafer thin, overpaid squad - I think they will win a few games when they are playing in Canada but, right now, they look to be all over the place.

Back to Hull, they are one of the biggest sides in the comp and they do have the quality to beat any side on their day.
However, like most sides, they seem to lack some consistency. Having said that, the manner of their defeat against Catalan will be hurting like hell and they will start the game with all guns blazing.
If we can match (or better) them in the early exchanges then, we will have a chance - should be a great game.

I’d Keep batch under wraps for another day for me ,we need the big boys on the pitch on fri to counter there huge pack or we’ll be on the back foot and that never ends well .There big but they’ll tire ,it’s just how much we’ve left in the tank to take advantage when that happens .

Looking forward to this one.

I too, would maybe leave Batch out for this one.

Pretty much a similar squad to last weekend for me, but with the inclusion of Fifita, and Arona.

I think Arona will be a straight swap for Crowther but who would you swap out for Fifita? Maybe Navarette? Had a good game vs Salford but feel we are gonna need some size to deal with their pack, so cant drop Green or Koppy and Westermans playing really well too.

Re: Next up Hull FC 7.45 on Friday : Tue Mar 03, 2020 1:44 pm  

Personally I would only bring one of Dave/Arona back for this one.

I know that we're only a few games into the season but, keeping players fresh and looking after those that are just coming back from injury needs to be taken account of.
Green didn't look to be moving that well, later on in the 2nd half.
Having said that and I know that we shouldn't take Bradford lightly but, Hull will be a bigger test than Bradford and IF we can get a result on Friday, it will help set us up for the next few weeks.
After Toronto, away at York, we have Wigan, Leeds, Cas and then Saints, which will take some managing so having as many fit & fresh players as we can will be important.

Yeah true enough, definitely need to be targeting Hull on Friday though, they're fragile after throwing away that 18 point lead at home.

Toronto's first win will come against us in a few weeks I think as that will be one of those games

It would be Navarette, though you're right, he is playing well, but I think to keep everyone fresh, rotating, if and when we can is a good idea. Having said that, it looked like Green picked up a knock. Maybe weve learnt a lesson in playing players when not 100% fit
