I know its not possible but what a turn around that would be, if and its a big IF we won our last 2 games and made the top 8

I can't see it for 2 reasons, Hull will throw everything at us next week to break their losing streak, and I can see Cas beating the French this Sunday before going on to lose at Wakey in a fortnight.

We need to focus on 9th place.

Stan. I'm loving this sanguine and realistic Private Laurie "we're all doomed" mantra of yours.

I remember being similarly spellbound by same last year when you calmly stated that we should concentrate on the league as the away match in the CC against Wigan was " not a winnable tie."

Win both our remaining games and we will end up 9th. However, if Wakey lose both remaining games away at Catalans and home to Cas, we're 8th if we win both ours.

The way Super League is this year, Anything's possible.

It looks like it was grounded short and bounced at the same time. Certainly not a penalty try in my opinion, only that chocolate fireguard Thaler, could have seen so differently. https://www.facebook.com/Hull-fchull-kr ... 169914293/

I'd be more worried about Leeds than us at the moment. I think you have a good chance to beat us.

Nah, I don't want to be the 1st poster to use the "it's their Cup Final" line, but you need to snap out of losing before it becomes a crisis. We on the other hand have never backed up a win in 2016.

We should win on paper there no doubt, but aren't playing well and if you scored early, i think our confidence could go, we are really struggling in dealing with kicks particularly high kicks, so if you get your tactics right you have a chance.

Saying that we were really poor against Hudds, but didn't think we were too bad on Friday,thought Leeds were really good, hooker will make a huge difference and so much class in the backs that I think they will start to play now and win the middle 8s easily.

am looking forward to it as there is a bit resting on it, should be a good game

Good result and things look a bit rosier than they have for a while.

Good shot at avoiding the spoon now, and 4 home games in the middle 8s is in our own hands.

Catching Cas or Wakey is a thin and fragile hope, and I'm going to avoid even thinking about it for now. If we did win the Derby though...

Looking ahead to that game, Hull still looked (mostly) well organised against Huddersfield and Leeds. Maybe just a tiny bit jaded in attack - though Sneyd was v.good yesterday. Hudds and Leeds both played well, I thought, as well. Tough game, but I'm a tad more optimistic than I was for the last two, when a big, big score against looked a very distinct possibility.

Is green banned for derby? Radio Humberside seemed to think he would be eligible? ..also what's Blair s injury not seen it mentioned
