Hull definitely without Reynolds and chance of Manu Ma'u not playing too

I suppose that Warrington would have been slight favourites for this if you were placing a bet in pre season. Its very early in the season still so the bookies probably aren't putting too much emphasis on form yet. Early season games aren't always a great indicator of what's to come. You haven't started off great but you clearly have a talented squad and will come good.

That said I do expect us to win this. Our defence is proving very hard to break down, Connor is loving life at full back, and our pack has been excellent. If we play with the same commitment and intensity as we did against Hudds and Salford then I'll take us by 12.

Lineham banned for three games for striking off the ball. Does he ever learn? Dumb player.

Reputation being used more than the offence with Lineham unfortunately. He isn't a dirty player and gets unfairly treated IMO.

He’s just not very bright is he? You just have to see some of his recent interviews to know that. I mean the guy loves Boris Johnson so say no more.

True. He's just a plantpot

Might as well love Boris Karloff. His disciplinary record is like a horror movie

Another dumb bit of petulant behaviour is punished.

We’ve got winger that can’t play long enough without getting a ban and another winger that’s banned from getting the ball (albeit Charnley’s has admitted he’s not been himself recently).

Fingers crossed Inglis finally plays and Mamo moves to wing for a few games.

I'm sorry CW8 but I don't agree with your sentiments that you hope we get beat to speed up Price's departure.

I don't necessarily think that this will be the case and it wouldn't guarantee an upturn in our fortunes. He's going at the end of the season a successor has been lined up with a reputation for a different style of rugby league that's enough for now surely?

Why not have a season scenario where the team puts I'm some effort and wins giving the new man the best possible headache

Lineham. Oh dear. He really is a dumbo.

No need to apologies UR, for what it's worth I don't think 1 result will speed up the departure earlier. I can only see this season being one long drawn out car crash, I know that's negative and I'm sorry about that but it's just the way I feel, it's as though the club have written this season off, I certainly have and I really don't like it. I don't look forward to the games at the minute, I will always watch but it's difficult to say the least.

I don't think the team will give the new man a headache with performances under the current regime, I think it has to change for that to happen. I've said before it's not personal against Steve Price and I think he is doing his best but it just isn't working and it's not going to either IMO.

I am really excited for next year, Powell would have been my choice and I think the club will benefit from his appointment but we are 2 league games and a cup tie in to this one!m, surely I should be able to look forward to the rest of this season too? It's the worst I've ever felt as a wire fan, I have no belief at all, when we were crap I looked forward to the days when we had a good day and caused an upset these days those results will just make it more depressing to think they can perform well all along but don't.

I'll try to be more positive now that's off my chest. Let's see if the team make it any easier this weekend.

CW8 it's good to get stuff off your chest and I agree with plenty of what you say and I'm definitely not calling for blanket positivity.

I just like the idea of us winning games I find it difficult backing against us even in the prediction competition it somehow feels disloyal even when my head says the odds are stacked against us.

Waterfields?
Mike and Martha's?

Can't get many more eating establishments closer to the HJ.

I am not doing great in the prediction competition, I backed us to win in round 1, we didn't, I backed us to lose in round 2 we didn't, I was hardlt goi g to back Swinton though last week. For league games I will continue to back us to lose in the prediction competition, it feels like I'm doing my bit for the cause.
