Just been tweeted that we expect Nas and Purtell back for widnes game. No mention of sammut, hopefully injury which kept him out against saints was so minor they don't think it's worth mentioning that he's back - at least I hope he is

Sammut was wearing a "spaceboot" for some weeks in the run up to Hull KR match because of an ankle problem. Hopefully that's cleared up.

I hope Roberts gets a game off the bench again.

Purtell back would be great, But Nas is "nassesary"

Sooo without Sammut, Foster and Chev, what do we recon our startgin line up will be:

1. Kearney
2. Kear
3. Blythe
4. Lulia

10. Sidlow
11. Bateman
12. Olbison
13. Donno

14. Langley

Platt and O Brien to miss out imo.

Must win game tomorrow seeing as Hull KR and Saints both picked up 2 points this weekend.

Must win game even if they lost if we lose I fear our season is dead and buried as I don't think we can get anything meaning full from our other games.

I have to agree. If we lose tomorrow it's going to be a real struggle.

Can't believe Hull KR won away in Catalans. That's pretty much ballsed up most predictions now.

We really needed Rovers to lose against every team they played who are above them in the table.
I think them beating Catalans tonight is probably the end of our playoff hopes.

It certainly will be if we don't win tomorrow

We HAVE to beat Widnes now, or its basically season over

Probably if we loose against Widnes we might be out of the top 8 but that's not a certainty.

Hull FC have the easiest run in with only 2 games against top 4 teams -Huddersfield and Wigan with 2 games agianst top 8 contenders Hull Kr & Bradford

Hiull KR have 2 top 4 teams to play in Wigan & Wolves + games v Saints & Hull FC contending for the top 8.

The Bulls play Wolves, Wigan and Huddersfield out of the top 4 then top 8 contenders Hull and Catalans.

Catalalns are drawn into the fight for a top 8 spot after their recent loss. they play Huddersfield, Wigan, Leeds, Wolves out of the top 4 and Saints and Bradford for competition for the top 8.

It's not going to be the games, it will be the psychological factor of another loss, I realy dont think we could recover from it confidence will wane and it will be like 2010 where we lost 12 or so games on the trot.

Finishing 9 is nothing to be sniffed at considering everything of last year and the fact we are on half the cash of everyone else and that they have divided up the money themselves, would would be nice to get into the 8 and have a decent go at it. Either way if we do get into the 8 we will most likely play wigan.

And it lose bob not loose
