I have them down as deffo top 6 IMO paulm

Ive got a sweepstake running on the first time Briscoe gets Booed or told to F Off to Oz ,

12 mins is mine

First time he makes any kind of mistake.

No idea about the wakefield game but Bradford played really well against us (Leeds) in the pre season game, they were fit, fast and up for the game, far from the number maker uppers they were last year.

Do i have to take the warmu up into account, this could prove tricky

knowing some on here it would include him getting on the bus ffs

Crooks in for Ellis:

Hull FC squad: Arundel, Briscoe, Crookes, Crooks, Galea, Green, Heremaia, Holdsworth, Horne, Houghton, Johnson, Lynch, McDonnell, O’Meley, Pitts, Seymour, Westerman, Whiting, Yeaman

Disappointed that Tickle still isn't back.

I'd go with a big starting pack in this one, so would bring Johnson into the 13 from last weekend to start at loose forward with Galea on the bench.

That also gives us better opportunities to rotate Whiting and Westerman for 20 minutes each to stop them getting burnt out.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's a must win. But I won't be happy going to Saints on the back of a loss. We could then quite easily be 0 from 3.

With Warrington at home up next. I think it's as close to a must win as there can be at this time of the season, especially with how last week went and the next couple coming up.
