[quote="Hullrealist":opn821c6]Hardaker out for about 6 weeks. Ashworth is being sick and they think it’s to do with do with his HIA. From the main man JC[/quote:opn821c6] Jesus was hoping it would only be a couple of weeks for Zak

I'd have definitely taken 1/2 from the first two games, so bit of a free hit, hopefully given them a real tough game and if we play really well and they are a bit off, we have a chance. Games so far have either been a bit of a shock or alot closer than people predicted (except salford last week)

This game is more about the performance than the result. With the same side as last week I think we go in with a chance of an upset, now not so much but we absolutely can't roll over and get a drubbing in front of a big crowd. At worst, we need people to go home disappointed but entertained, not disillusioned again. I wonder if baldy is sneaking in on a kids for a quid ticket to break his recent FC duck?

I would've been quietly confident with the same side as last week but Hardaker, Bourouh and Cartwright are significant losses. We still have experience in Rapana, Sezer and Asiata but it's hard to see a win. Hopefully a spirited performance, improved discipline and no injuries and we move on to a winnable game next weekend.

The issue with big attendances like we are going to get tonight, and the injuries we have, is that a lot of the bandwagon jumpers are fickle, and if we do lose by 12-16 points which I am expecting, will they see it as a defeat as always, or see the differences the club are trying to make

hard to see a loss as anything but a defeat TBH
