Not bothered if we beat Hull and get picked by Warrington. It'll be a hard game against either Wigan or Warrington (don't forget Sam's back). If we do get through and get picked what would motivate the team more than being picked as the highest seeded club.

If we get past hull both Wigan and wire will be hard to beat! It will take a great performance to beat either of them, so let tony pick who he may, makes little difference however if we have to go to wire and win the confidence the lads would take into the final would be higher than if we had beat Wigan but only because of the recent hoodoo they have had over us!

Warrington is a different game with and without 'Bent Ham' he caned us 7-2 in the penalties the other night !!!! And remember the cup match !!

no cording. otherwise as expected.

I'd go same as last week but Ta'ai for Wood in the 17.

Same for me Daz. Think Wood looked a bit off the pace and out of his depth last week. Hopefully with a full pre-season behind him then he can kick on next year.

He did, but we needed forward power last week not halfback guile. He's done ok so far but was a wasted bench spot for me.

I'd keep Wood in, as I don't think Lunt can do 80 mins, but expect lunt to do more minutes than he did last week as we'll need his guile, Brough and the pivots to crack Hull's strong defence.

I'd be tempted to put Taai in maybe Fergie out of the 17.

I just think with keeping Wood in we're keeping a forward out, its in the forwards where we suffer when we're short and i think with Fooey and Lunt it seems pointless having another half/hooker on the bench.

I think Fooey is better as loose forward, than hooker, Wood gives us more pace around the rook than Fooey, the issue the other night was Lunt didn't play enough minutes nor did Eorl, when they were off we struggled.

Forecast for dry weather in the evening so expect Taai to be more damaging to the opposition than Fergie, Hull's defence is a hard nut to crack, it will be about creativity and I think Lunt/Wood combo is better at hooker and Fooey as a loose/prop with his sidesteps more prevalent.

Defence will be key too, but the attack is what will win us the game, crack their defence enough and I think we will win

i would play taai if wood is playing then you have fergie good in attack a bit dodgy in defence or bruno good in defence poor in attack

dry weather expected



bring back taai
