It will be interesting to see how FC respond if they go behind !!

Is Tommy Lee playing? Thought he was injured and Raynor doubtful - unless I imagined it?

Did Lee ever play

Didnt play last week,sure he had ankle injury.

it will be cloudy with occasional drizzle, feeling cold in a brisk se wind

I expect us to start slow and underrate them and concede way more points than we should.

Think people are getting a bit carried away, CC have are a team full of Aussie and ex Hull players they wont be easy beats on there own ground.

I still think we will win, if a fully fit squad, we should win comfy 14-18 points.

If Horne and Long are out, 4-8 point win.

Just watched the highlights of there game with Wigan, they look poor defensivley out wide and not very good at dealing with kicks, if the forwards can lay the platform and we can spread it wide when in their 20, we should come away with some points.

as dave k posted, if our first choice halves are out i think it will be much closer than some are predicting. However if ever there was a game not to risk longy and horne i'd prefer it to be crusaders as oppossed to leeds or hkr for example.

With long and horne 12-38 FC
Without long and horne 12-20

Close Witt down, especially when it comes to his kicking game and you close them down. I am assuming no Long or Horne too.

Crusaders 10-24 Hull FC

Aye , He's the key to there side . Witt, with the height Mellors , are striking up a decent combination.

If we don't win comfortably it will be disappointing. Defensively we have the players to close them down completely and we will have enough quality on the pitch to put some points on them.

Crusaders 16-24 FC

I think this will be closer than a lot of people think, especially if were without Long and Horne.

Hull by 10

MOM Calders (after scoring 2)

Crowd 5k (1500 from us)

12 pints, 3 hip flasks, Smallears dribbling and Raggytash exposing himself

Will be anything but easy.Especially if we are missing Horne and Long.

Not easy but if we genuinely have aspirations of challenging at the top we should be winning games like this comfortably

True dat.

Dennis should be able with Agar to formulate a plan to shut Witt's kicking option's down.No kicking to Mellor's,no tries.This game could be a real test one way or another,how we will need the leadership of Fitz.

FC by 16-20 I reckon.
