first of all to all bulls fans - we need to get a big crowd behind the boys on the last home game of the season. I have said this before about how the tetleys stand needs to make more noise and in previous games it has got better but wouldnt it be great if it was like the noise of the fat dogs around the stadium. Lets be loud and get a good crowd for the sky cameras. Bring friends and lets get a good amosphere on saturday night and push our team in to the playoffs after everything our club has been through, COYB!

Predictions: Bulls win by 8

i think yeamans injured so will put turner at centre and replace yeaman with pitts.

Yes I thought that.

Clearly, we'll be going in with either Olbison or Walker (assuming Bateman is crocked) in the 2nd Row, and Manuofakoa on the bench.

And obviously Burgess will be on the bench - we don't need both Diskin and Sammut on the bench

I think that is way off a predicted line up. Potter will make very little (if any change) to the team. He won't have a hooker, a scrum half and two second rowers on the bench, nor will he start playing props at second row.

For me the only change from Hudds will be to bring back Platt (if he's fit), put him at centre and put Pryce on wing. Apart from his good finish at KR, Crookes has been poor since his return. Pryce had a stormer against Hudds (about time too) so deserves to keep his place and Platt has also been playing well and doesn't deserve to be dropped.
We're getting players back now and they need to be all hitting to form, anyone not performing to their best should be dropped and someone else given a crack. Haven't heard anything regarding Bateman or Elima but could really do with them both fit.

1. Kearney
2. Ainscough
3. Platt (if fit)
4. Lulia
5. Pryce
6. Jefferies
7. Gale
8. Hargreaves
9. L'estrange
10. Kopczak
11. Bateman (If fit)
12. Whitehead
13. Langley
14. Diskin
15. Walker
16. Manuokafoa
17. Elima ( If fit) or Burgess

I'd keep Pryce at Centre, he clearly enjoys playing here more than being on the Wing and had a great game at Huddersfield. Platt has been solid and worked hard for the team but I'd just go with Crookes for his pace/finishing abilities.

Would be a boost to the forwards if Elima is fit. I'm not too sure about Burgess, he can come on and make some yards but his handling is truly awful and we can't afford to be making too many errors in the next 2 games if we want to make the 8...

Kearney and Lulia defo: then
Perm any 3 from 4 in the backs
Crookes
Pryce
Platt
Ainscough

That's going to be interesting

Hull will line up something like
Horne
Foster
Crooks
Yeaman
Briscoe
McGoldrick
Seymour
Lynch
Houghton
O'Meley
Manu
Whiting
Westerman or Pitts
Subs
Pitts or Green
Heremaia
Watts
Aspinwall.

If the rumours are true crookes is going to FC would it be worth playing him though

Hell yes. We need to get in the 8 and that means playing our strongest side.

If rumours are true he will surely want to put down a marker, I would have thought?

Crookes has been poor since his return? Can't say I've seen him really put a foot wrong tbh.

The problem is this: If Pryce has jad a stormer he thinks 'Phew, that me safe for another 3 or 4 matches. I don't have to bend my back for a bit now'. If you read this Karl I'd love you to prove me wrong.

Whiting gone for the season now. Massive blow to us.
