Wasn't there this morning, later this week I think.

Can see Leeds carving us up with their offloading game and pace outwide, the best hope we have of coming away with the points is if Friday is a monsoon to turn it into a slow slog down the middle.

Need to get lauaki into the game a lot earlier , radders and ogre laid the platform on sunday hope they can do it on friday if he's fit . Also want to see westy at loose-man his proper position thought bit harsh the critiscism of him he did miss important tackle but he didn't get a lot of the ball to show what he can do .

We had studied them and the way they would play, but we made crucial errors during the game and you can’t afford to do that. “The responsibility for those mistakes lies with the players and we need to put that right, starting with the Leeds game. “Not one of us was happy with how we played in Cardiff and Friday will be an opportunity for us to make amends.”'" www.hullfc.com/hullfc/contents/?p=7374

I think we will line up like:

Brent Webb
Ben Jones Bishop
Brett Delaney
Keith Senior
Ryan Hall
Kevin Sinfield
Rob Burrow
Kylie Leuluai
Danny Buderus
Ryan Bailey
Jamie Jones-Buchanan
Ali Lauitiiti
Carl Ablett

Lee Smith
Weller Hauraki
Ben Cross
Luke Burgess

Kallum Watkins
Jay Pitts

Providing that Ryan Bailey and Lee Smith are back from injury.

Id go for.

Sharp
Lyne
Whiting
Yeaman
Briscoe
Turner
Long
O'Meley
Houghton
Radford
Tickle
Fitzgibbon
Westerman

Obst/Washbrook
Moa
Lauaki
Manu

Looks like Sharp and Briscoe on the same wing again, meaning Lyne and Yeamo on the other (assuming Obst isn't playing). www.thisishullandeastriding.co.u ... ticle.html

im not too sure about smith on the bench. if one of our backs gets injured we can easily move people in the 13 around Webb, Watkins, BJB could all play where need be. Even Ablett can play centre.

Personally id go for

1 BJB
2 Smith
3 Delaney
4 Senior
5 Hall
6 Webb
7 Burrow
8 Leuluai
9 Buderus
10 Burgess
11 Lauititi
12 JJB
13 Sinfield

Subs

Cross
Ablett
Kirke
Hauraki

leaving out Watkins, Pitts, Bailey, Mcshane

Lee Smith isn't injured. And I Don't think BJB did much wrong for him to get back in team either TBH!

Thought BJB had a good game for you lot.

Him and Long need to swap places in defence though, Longy couldn't live with Galea's smart runs on Sunday I'm afraid and if Hauraki plays it could be more of the same.

Fair point, however why did we use Manu in the centre at Cas (friendly) and not Briscoe...mental

I think Agar wanted to give the forwards more of a run it in the friendlies, or at least that's what he said anyway.

Looks like it will only be until Phelps arrives anyway, which is hopefully sooner then later. Briscoe is a winger for me.

Briscoe and Long did occasionally swap positions in defence.
After my little rant about Briscoe on Sunday (due to the result) i'm more than happy to give him a few more games to truly prove himself. But he'll have to make a very good impression to justify moving him from a position where he is proven to be world class imo.

I have eradicated last weekend from my mind.......It's forgotten!

Leeds on Friday is the first game of the season.
I believe we may be victorious.

I like it, count me in

Ok bb.

In for a penny....

Count me in too! It weirdly hasn't cut as deep as I thought it would have. I think Obst has certainly softened the blow somewhat, and the fact that Leeds didn't look anywhere close to their best at the weekend over the 80mins makes me think we have a good chance.

I like it I'm in too

Were feeling the love



Let us embrace it, could be messy on here again on Saturday

And they beat a team that would have beat us. Im fearing the worst, we'll do well to keep within 16 points.

I'm still mad as feck. I mean angry, not a loon. Well, maybe a bit..

If we lose on Friday and someone posts they've seen McNamara in the Exec area at the KC, I think it may all be too much.
