After you's we play Leeds (a) Wigan (h) Catalans (h) Crusaders (a) Cas (a) and them Wire at home .

I hardly think two teams fighting to make EIGHTH spot are in any position to suggest the other team is playing a cup final.

Now this season Warrington away was probably our cup final.

The ability to get to and from Hull on a Friday night is a bigger factor, I'd have thought. It's certainly done for me tonight.

Hull arent really fighting for 8th though, 6th should should be the minimum target for us and a win tonight will put us there. Our form since Easter has largely been very good, indeed had we replicated the form of our last 10 games in our first 10 we would be 4th.

I dont want be too disrespectful to Salford but I can only see a straightforward win tonight. Three scores in it maybe. However I still think you could oust Castleford out of the 8, they have a very tricky run in.

You're in a good run of form, but who have you actually beaten? Wakefield, Bradford and Harlequins in the last four games, all teams we've beaten this season and you beat us at our place before that. You may well be a better team and win tonight, but I really don't think Hull are as good as you're making out.

You're only one point ahead of Salford, so you're still fighting for a place in the play offs!!! Does an F1 driver think, I'm in third pushing for second and forget all about the cars behins him? No!!!

I'd say the two sides are fairly evenly matched tonight. Our up and coming pack against your somewhat seasoned bigger names, on paper, Salford have the better halves and there isn't much between to the backlines. Although, Yeaman does add a touch more class to yours, we have the fattest man in super league.

Given our extra creativity in the halves and/if Salford defend well tonight, we'll win.

is there full match commentary on radio Manchester? Theres something seriously wrong if it isnt?

Bit harsh on Feka.

You're halfs could be the telling factor tonight,considering not only is Long out for the season,but Obst is also out,meaning Rich Horne playing at 7,with possibly Westerman at 6.

We have not had Baines in our side for a good few years fella.

Quote: corvospace "is there full match commentary on radio Manchester? Theres something seriously wrong if it isnt?'" Radio Manchester will probably feature the Merseyside game at Wire. I've been looking around for the best option (after being at the KC) radio Humberside sounds as though it's as bad as Manchester. I'm going to give Yorkshire radio a go, there is full match coverage here... www.yorkshireradio.net/ Come on the Reds

In our last 10, we have beaten Hull KR, Warrington, Salford, Bradford, Quins and Wakefield with a draw v Saints, we have competed well in the games we have lost. I'm not making us out to be anything special, we are a good way off the top 4 at the moment, but with our squad we should reasonably expect to finish in the top 6.

We had a terrible start to the season which put paid to us being near the top, but our points difference shows we have been competive much more often than the teams below us.

Most bookies have us on a +12 handicap . against Hull

last week they had us on Harlequins +8 against us and we won by8
Bookies don't usually get these wrong I'm afraid.

fantastic if we did though

Traffic is heavy on the way. Fans may struggle to make kick-off if it isn't put back.
