We have run them close quite a few times recently so if we give it 100% for 80 minutes on Sunday then we can definitely win this one !!

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.

How is there smoke and mirrors going on?? We've had these players out for weeks and Radford has said this week that he can't drop players for constant mistakes at the moment as there is nobody he can bring back in! We're hardly holding them back

We are just used to seeing teams with injuries suddenly getting them back and making us look foolish.
For me, we should assume we are playing Hull's strongest team as to be honest, the back up team for the injuries are quite capable of beating us if we are not on our game.

We must be 100% on our game. We need the 2 here as we all know Hudds are such a bogey side for us. We could end up in the 8's by the thickness of a goalpost if we don't concentrate hard on Sunday

It’s called gamesmanship every team does it I’m not just getting at hull . The number of times this season teams have moaned about players out before games , only for them to play on game day .
That’s why I said we will have to wait for the hull team sheet to see who’s in or out .Either way it will still be a robust squad we will face , so need to on our guard

And the Lord said throw your crutch away and walk again, and the blind will open their eyes and see once more.

Coz we’re playing Wakey.

We have had some really good results against Hull recently and run them very close. we have nothing to fear and I would expect the squad to be up for this one.

Not quite but, we've all seen players make a starting 17 when they are "injured" and we've also seen coaches tell the odd white lie to try and gain advantage on their opposition.
Nothing to do with who you are playing, just that you have a game at the weekend and if comments coming out of your club make the opposition "mentally soft", it may just help you win

Having said that you do appear down on numbers but, we will have to see who plays on Sunday.
THe one certainty is that it wont be your U19's.

I give you Fifita against Cas, twice recently he's not been in the squad to then turn up at 3pm and a starting spot.

Bit different to trying it on with half your squad though isn't it?
