Only change to the squad Ferres in for Dwyer.
No Walker, Keinhorst, Sutcliffe, Garbutt, Peteru, Dwyer and still no replacement for Galloway.
Are we going to replace him this year?
Might be some tired bodies out there on Thursday.

I think Ferres will come in for Oledzki or Mullally.

If we lose this we will drop down to 6th. We’re desperate for a win following last weeks poor performance, this is a must win game.

The Hull squad if you're interested.
Our 3 first choice second rowers are back in the squad so the forwards are looking healthier than in recent weeks.

1. Jamie Shaul
2. Bureta Faraimo
3. Carlos Tuimavave
4. Josh Griffin
5. Fetuli Talanoa
6. Albert Kelly
7. Marc Sneyd
8. Scott Taylor
9. Danny Houghton
11. Dean Hadley

12. Mark Minichiello
13. Josh Bowden
14. Jake Connor
15. Chris Green
21. Sika Manu
22. Jez Litten
23. Mickey Paea
26. Jordan Lane
29. Masi Matongo

it's a must win for both sides, hope the officials don't ruin it! FC should edge it, but not by much.

Excellent , you always rise to the occasion and on this occasion I agree with you.

our Sir Kevin Sinfield doesn't come across as an optimist .

He probably thought the pre season friendly vs Hunslet was much win too

He's not entirely wrong though. Despite some good performances despite injury woes, another defeat would mean we've potentially dug a rather awkward hole to get out of in top 4 terms.

Even if we lose i wouldn't say we were in a hole. If we lose we will have lost 4 drawn 1. As it stands there are only three teams with a better record and they have all lost 2, and two of those wigan and cas play each other at the weekend so that will change. It looks like it will be very tight this year and all the top 6 or 7 will continue to take points off each other. Will be a very good super 8s this year i think.

As far as we are concerned, i think we are doing pretty good with the pack being depleted for a long stretch now. As long as we win the games we should against the lower end teams and pick up the odd win against the top teams we will be in a decent position once we have a fit squad to pick from.

Bang on Biff
No need to panic just yet as results will certainly see sides beating each other over the course of the season
I'd settle for a final finishing position of anywhere within the top 4 and still think that on our day that we can win the GF from there, just as long as we've got a fully fit squad when it really matters

Singleton has an ankle injury so won't play. Delaney will play prop.
Peteru maybe back for Hull KR

Seems a bit of a jinx on our front row this year.
Just think we could have taken Ryan Bailey had he not signed for Leigh.
