I don't think it matters who we pick on Friday tbh - pretty sure it will be a very long, hard evening for us!!

But at least we then only have Saints, Wigan and Leeds in the next three fixtures.................

Gidley has played a lot of minutes over Easter, wouldn't surprise me to see him sat out for this one.

Patton & Brown in the Halves, start Clark, Gidley on the bench, Dwyer in the reserves for me this week.

Arguable our biggest game so far and in the near future and you would chose to rest a top earning senioir player in this game?
Gidley can have next week off if he is that knackered!

A fair shout

Dwyer didn't have one of his average games by any means vs Wake, blew a big chance did the lad.

And if you want to make kick off make sure you are away for 3pm at the latest if you are driving!

This is why Hull away on a Friday night is out of the question for me.

It's a fair point I guess, but we would still have two decent Half's and two good hooking options in the 17. Plus Saints the week after which I'd argue is equally important for which we be missing Hill.

I think it's also fair of me to say Saints will be greater disadvantaged than us come the derby.
We're not in a position to rest players yet. We can start to do that when we are in easy rounds during the CC which is near upon us.

I saw their match against Widnes who seemed to be making a lot of ground in the tackle (even Houston) and only Walmesley presented a forward threat for Saints. But they are a significant better team with Roby playing.

Morgan Smith is back from injury and played for the reserves at the weekend. I fancy he will certainly give a bit of competition for Dwyer, plus he is an organising half with a kicking game.

I'll be leaving around 3.30. If I'm making good time I'll stop for a brew and break at Ferrybridge as its generally fine past there.

THE HOOF

I'm fairly confident Morgan S will come back in and replace Dwyer when 100% after what Dwyer did last season....the cheeky git.

totally agree,,bookies reckon it`ll be close as we are getting a 6 point start,,get searching down the back of your sofas and any loose change you find throw it on hull

Ferrybridge is 5 minute from where I live

I'm lucky.

Are you Ray French?

Well now then....Brad Dwyer...this 5ft 9 inch huuker...signed from Ince Rose Bridge amateur club for for-ty two thou-sand pounds did the lad.

maybe in his cuban heels.

we looked out on our feet sun, shorter turn around for us and a few look to be carrying knocks, gonna be hard for us fri,

homer child is ref..points to a hull victory

This will be a tough test and hopefully give us an indication on where we stand agaistthe better teams.

even when we were in good form hull away was never an automatic win so we're facing an uphill battle win this Friday and there's more reason to be optimistic from the one win than both the Easter games.

I for one am not too fussed on the manor of our win just asking as we win and do the basics right.

watts banned and manu on his way back to oz for the mid season international. We'll have a very inexperienced bench although houghton may be back

surely can not be worse than Thaler was.

I'm with Dezzie on this one. Any type of win in this game is huge. Whether its a ground out or lucky win I'm not fussed in the slightest. Also As Dezzie Put, the only thing I ask for is that the fundamentals are executed accurately. I.e. No knock on's at the play the ball, Winning collision, Good line speed, set completion and kicking into a corner with a good chase.

The middles will really have to stand up and be counted on Friday. Wakefield and Huddersfield came through our forwards far too easily. This week and next week we are playing teams with a couple of key players missing. If we can take advantage of that then we're in an extremely good position to set ourselves up in 5th/6th spot ready for a big end of season push.

Its a huge ask but these next two weeks and Magic weekend will be season defining for us.

I fancy you to win, very inexperienced bench for us and a short turn around after a tough 12 man win against Cas, if it's close on 60 minutes I expect you to win.
