I don't think Russell will play (part precaution, part Wigan game in mind)
Gids rested too
He's included Patton (halfback) and Johnson (fullback) in the provisional squad so i think that says everything.

I think Abdull deserves another chance I just hope he does a bit better this time out.

Needs to run the ball more.He is a big unit so should be able to take a tackle or six.

Setting up Yeaman for his hatrick.

How's ticket sales for this with it being a bank holiday?

Well you never know but they would have to be no more than three metres from the try line.Was MOTM apparently on FC Live. God knows why but did offload to Shaul for his try which has now gone into the record books at the club as his first pass ever to the right.

No news on that but I'd imagine we'd be looking at an attendance around 10500.

I've seen some of the guesses on your board and there's not a cat in hell's chance of more than 13,000.

In the last three seasons we've only had three non-derby attendances over 12000 - although two were against Warrington.

not mentioned yet but the man in the middle reffing is hicks on monday

Surely Warrington will want to bring a few given how they've started and there's not the usual evening game restrictions.
With the win on Friday can see closer to 11,500.

Sandow and Currie need neutralising, easier said than done.

He was terrible at saints on friday

Need to really improve and play about like we did in the last 20 and early in the season to have a chance, they are certainly beatable, but are a very good side who play to the end.

Get Ellis to watch Sandow and him and Frank keep running at him.

We've had Hicks this season, if you've not had him yet, fast play the balls or else.

Mr. Hicks refereeing FC, only one result. FC heavily penalised to give Wire posession in our half. Like to see the stats on our win ratio, when he's officiated, or am I being cynical?

If, as most people have said, we draw on the confidence of the last 20 against the Dobs, go into the game like we can and quick play the balls, cut out the daft penalties, we can match Wire and win, simples. Tall order non the less.

Both coming from behind
Wire by 10
Hull by 20

Tough derby games for the pair of us no real advantage to anyone, same turn around. Only slight advantage is the home tie.

I'm kind of getting the feeling Hull are going to be continually raising their levels since the Widnes game after the soul searching they did.

I haven't been to this fixture in years but I'm actually at a coin tossing situation at the moment and that is saying a lot.

We haven't play much better than the Widnes game the last two, tighten up ou defence slightly and played in patches, so need to raise our game much higher, in fact I'd say to beat you we it needs to be our best performance of the season.

Also we don't really do home advantage anymore.

Typical bank holiday weather for tomorrow. Supposed to be raining until just before kick off and quite a bit of wind around.

We just need to go out with a positive attitude and go for the win.

No point trying to play within ourselves (Plan A) because we'll lose, might as well play the more expansive stuff and just back ourselves.

Easter Monday games tend to be high scoring affairs and unpredictable. We're Top Four and should now plan to stay there. So more of the performances against Salford, Cats and last 20 minutes at Rovers please.

I'm going for 32-26 to Hull.

Whoever is less fatigued will win the game. That said all things being equal I think Warrington will win.
The bookies are starting us on minus 6 and I think they are about right.

Could be a very hard game if we start poor like Friday, Warrington play very fast & expansive, they are the form team at the minute, but we have to be living with these teams if we are to challenge.

Russell is out for them and hopefully Gidley being rested for the Wigan game.
They're going to try to kick us to death and tire our forwards for sure.
Batter Sandow/don't give him space and take the attack to them. If we get the tactics wrong we could get mullered, I reckon it'll be close and 4 points in it in a high scoring game.

Cant see anything but a wire win but I am feeling like we will at least push them close, cant take another cas/wigan style loss though. Was looking at scoring/conceding averages per game earlier and we aren't miles away. Momentum and good feeling from the derby game so I'm thinking at least a little positively I suppose. Weather might play a part as well but cant guarantee in our favour of course. We will see

What's the parking like, is there an official car park or one within 10 mins walk, or some side street some one could direct me too?

Ta

Best bet will be walton street car park next to the ground but not sure how much it costs these days

Walton Street right outside the ground is your best bet, I think its about 5 quid
