Hull FC simply cannot get into the top 4, with 2 rounds to go they are 5 points behind Warrinton who are currently in 4th position.
They are though, guaranteed a top 8 position,i can't see them finishing lower than sixth, there is no chance of Hull finishing in the middle eights.
So to me, and if i was the coach of Hull FC, i would be concentrating on getting as many of the first team squad back for top 8 play offs.
With a fully fit squad they would be better putting all their energy into the top 8 play off & i think Hull would have every chance of getting to the final.

But 2 points in the regular rounds are just as valuable as they are after the split are they not? Points do not get reset at round 23. I saw a comment on the VT along the lines of "If Wakefield beat Hull FC they might rest some players against Hudds to have players 100% fit for the super 8s" Why would they do that?

Why do you find that interesting? I started a thread stating I thought England looked better with him on the field and wondered if they saw him as Sneyd`s long term half partner? Not too sure why that is of great interest to you.

I don`t think its any coincidence we look a lot better in attack since Connor has been put in the halves! He does the basics very well and seems to ouze confidence. He knows how to pick a pass, and he knows when to go at the line and has all the skills to turn the "Half chances" into something.

Maybe that's the bit Wilzay finds confusing.

Still do not get what there is to be confused about? It was posted around 60 minutes in to the England vs New Zealand game when Connor moved into the halves? Should I not refer to England as we when England are playing?

The injury list is growing, confident in 2 points here.

26-10 Wakefield followed by a strong win over the Giants for which i have just secured further tickets in the box. Another 3 course meal and few drinks coming my way, can't wait!!

I'm not confused at all squire, and fwiw you can refer to England whichever way suits you, I was just pointing out as to why he might be confused with your post. HTH.

Thaler will be reffing our game on Sunday.

Re: Hull next week : Tue Jul 17, 2018 3:49 pm  

Apologies, Homme Vaste. I took the "we" as in Hull, not England.

Re: Hull next week : Tue Jul 17, 2018 4:18 pm  

Any 17 that take the field for Hull will be very tough to beat, their squad has real strength in depth. I hope our players know that they will be in for a really tough battle

We’ll found out soon enough which players will be turning out for hull this sun ,at the moment it’s hard to speculate as I think there is a fair bit of smoke & mirrors going on with their team .
But as long as we are mentally up for this game we should come away with the points no matter who turns out for hull.
