The turn around is a joke especially going into the Easter double header, it's the clear problem on tv running the sport, the bbc should have been told that Huddersfield and hull were unable to play on the Sunday because of a prebooked game on the Thursday. Even if our game yesterday was played on the Saturday hull would still have an 48 hr advantage but at least you would have a more normal 5 day turn around

We couldn't play Saturday because Huddersfield Town were playing, so Friday would have been the only other option, which wasn't an option once BBC had picked the game to show live.

hoping to get over,work permitting and would hope a few hundred make it,but i doubt it somehow.

questions are, will hull's devious plot to make sure they have a full 7 day turnaround,knowing we will only get 4 backfire on them?
will we be still smarting from sunday and make sure that we don't slip up again.
will the officials be as consistent as they usually are with us
how many tries of ours will go to the VR?

Oh ok, still the rfl still should have said no the bbc and pick another game. Makes for an unfair turn around for you guys

To be fair to hull and their devious plot hull city played at the kc Saturday afternoon and the premier league say nothing on the pitch 24 hrs before a game. So that gave hull either Sunday and the same 4 day turn around and help them selfs and play the game on Thursday. I know what I would have picked for the good of the team

bookies have us as slight faves! hull fc 11/10 fancy that.

patrick still abit of yet i think, maybe end of this month, would be a boost to have him back with ferres now out but we have taai and its a big chance for him

bailey fitted in very well yesterday

kaufusi is getting into his stride now too

Agree about Kaufusi, starting to run hard and cause some damage now! Hopefully he will keep improving

That rule is a myth/ Dave Whelan rule. However Hull City have first priority on the stadium at this time of the year so they will have said you can't play Friday because we are playing Saturday so as you say it will be Thursday or Sunday.

faiumu is out so likely to see johnson get a shot...unless anderson uses 16 men again.

Fui is out for a month, going home, family reasons (examiner)

He needs to bring back Mullally quick time!!

yes just seen about faiumu going home for family reasons

he wanted to play in the challenge cup before returning home, no wonder he was in tears at the end of the game... proper giants is faiumu

as for the hull game fairbank has been drafted so he could replace johnson on the bench..if used!

we need to win the ruck, turn hull players on their backs in the tackle.. if we dont and they get quick play the balls they could run riot with houghton and heramaia.. with westerman out the back.

sad to say lacking interest at the moment

Id rather have mullaly back than fairbank who has been pretty pants for everyone since he was signed long term.

Definitely need Mullally back, nothing against Fairbank....but I fear that if we have a youngster on the bench again he just isn't going to use them!
