Looking forward to this one.

I too, would maybe leave Batch out for this one.

Pretty much a similar squad to last weekend for me, but with the inclusion of Fifita, and Arona.

I think Arona will be a straight swap for Crowther but who would you swap out for Fifita? Maybe Navarette? Had a good game vs Salford but feel we are gonna need some size to deal with their pack, so cant drop Green or Koppy and Westermans playing really well too.

Personally I would only bring one of Dave/Arona back for this one.

I know that we're only a few games into the season but, keeping players fresh and looking after those that are just coming back from injury needs to be taken account of.
Green didn't look to be moving that well, later on in the 2nd half.
Having said that and I know that we shouldn't take Bradford lightly but, Hull will be a bigger test than Bradford and IF we can get a result on Friday, it will help set us up for the next few weeks.
After Toronto, away at York, we have Wigan, Leeds, Cas and then Saints, which will take some managing so having as many fit & fresh players as we can will be important.

Yeah true enough, definitely need to be targeting Hull on Friday though, they're fragile after throwing away that 18 point lead at home.

Toronto's first win will come against us in a few weeks I think as that will be one of those games

It would be Navarette, though you're right, he is playing well, but I think to keep everyone fresh, rotating, if and when we can is a good idea. Having said that, it looked like Green picked up a knock. Maybe weve learnt a lesson in playing players when not 100% fit

Think this will be a tough one.

Still two experience HB’s down, still a lot of new players bedding in and above all two players who have not played in month returning to action.

It’s a big ask against what on paper is a very good team. Hull really should be a far more threatening prospect than they appear. Let’s hope we are lucky and they remain in hiding.

It’s not that I don’t think we are good enough to compete with them we hopefully will be soon. I just worry that a disrupted 2019 season and an equally disrupted start to this season is still causing issues.

It showed at Cas, for forty minutes we were toe to toe then on the second half we totally lost composure. Sure two bad injuries and an incredibly harsh sin binning didn’t help but I’m not convinced we had it on us even without that lot.

To get to where we were this time last year is still a few games off imho and that’s without further disruption.

A win is definitely possible but performance is what matters most. You can lose but be heading in the right direction or you can just lose.

On the more positive side, as I said earlier the only predictable thing about Hull is how unpredictable they are.

I know he's a one trick pony but, as boring as he is, Sneeyd can kick us to death. Need to keep the penalty count down to zero! At least we know all his conversions will be out wide generally down Johnstone's wing.
