Question is can our first team beat their second team - they have virtually all their starting backs out or rested

Our first team?i know Hull are weakened but don’t forget when looking through our squad, there’s no...

Johnstone
Miller
Fifita
K.Wood
Arona
Ashurst
Batchelor

Kirmond
Atkins
Brough

I know the latter three may have played their last game but at the start of the season the majority of those would have been in any 17 so let’s not kid ourselves our first team are playing their 2nd team...

Surprised at a few of those missing after the extra week off we had but there ya go...

Yes very surprised that no Ashurst or Arona thats a big part of our tackle count gone out of the team unless it was these 2 that tested positive for covid last week not sure but if not very strange there not in but good chance to maybe give a couple of young players a chance

The first two bookies to price the 80 minute result up have...

Hull 4/11 and 1/3
Wakefield 11/5 and 9/4...

They are unbiased...I personally think it’s closer than that but just shows how others view it...

I think it shows just how mickey poor we have been playing.
We simply have to win this one just to try and start to get something from the season.

Let's be right, if anyone had said a 3 weeks ago that those were the 2 squads for the game, you would have put your mortgage in Trinity.
Desperate for a win, this is a good a chance as we are ever likely to get.

No excuses here, We simply have to find a way accross the winning line.

Come on Trin !

Is Miller rested or dropped either way some of you have got what you wanted, let’s see how it goes. I note we are going with only one recognised number 9 again.

I don't get the 'we should win' thing.
They still have Connor, Kelly and Houghton to guide them around.
They have some good speed in their back 3.
Im sure their young forwards will be keen too.

Our team has holes all over the place with players playing for the first time this year. Will not be easy at all.

And the bookies are biased. The odds are set to make you bet. Its not just about who's most likely to win though that clearly is a big part of it.

Re: Hull FC 10th September : Tue Sep 08, 2020 1:32 pm  

I hope you are right, but they still have some match winners in their squad

6. Jake Connor
9. Danny Houghton
14. Albert Kelly
22. Josh Bowden
33. Ratu Naulago

Hull obviously think we are walk over haven’t selected shaul tuimavave Manu mau Jordan Johnston griffin and Faiamo not selected . Injured Sneyd Ellis Taylor and Jones so they have about 11 first team out

Its certainly not a case of Hull thinking Wakefield are a walk over and far from it but unfortunately Shaul, Tuimavave, Manu Ma'u & Jordan Johnston all picked up injuries in the Warrington game and Griffin and Faraimo both picked up knocks are not being risked with the short turnaround.

Will certainly be interesting with such a young Hull side that maybe hungry and one that looks lightweight but mobile. As a Hull fan its been the senior players that have been the ones not performing so hard one to call.

I don’t think it will be easy but think it has to be viewed as our best chance of a win so far this season. And whilst I agree all of the above are potential match winners you would say same about tupo , Hampshire , gigot , Walker lyne etc sadly we’ve seen what reputations are worth this season
