| I'd keep Connor at centre for now, even if Griffin is fit....First half of the Wigan game aside, I haven't seen too much from him to suggest he's a first choice player. Side felt a bit more balanced with Conor at centre yesterday, much tighter in defence .

But Connor could also be a very good option off the bench once Houghton is back to give him a breather during games. Especially with Radders being persistent on having Connor on the bench.'"
I don't know where this idea of playing Connor at 9 has come from. I'm sure someone with more knowledge will correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm not sure he's ever played there?

Why does that matter? Players change positions all the time (look at Whiting, he played every position there is during his time with us). Nothing stopping a player from the backs ending up as a forward. Personally I think he has all the right attributes to make it as a hooker. Anyways, never said he should become a acting half, just that he'd be a good stand in. Especially with Radford adamant he's on the bench.

Just seems a bit square pegs in round holes. If we're going to use someone to spell Houghton, why not use a hooker? Litten's game is different to the player Houghton is now. He does well to get out of the ruck quickly, I think it could work well him playing 10/15 mins either side of half time. Just out of interest, did you go to Leigh yesterday, or seen the game back on FC Live?

| Wonder if Radford has seen enough from Litten to keep him on the bench when Houghton returns?
Can't see him having both Litten and Connor on the bench, so probably not. Think he's also quite protective with the young players and doesn't tend to overplay them.
Litten does add impact off the bench, which is something we lack.

Exactly my point, Connor WILL be on the bench most games so could spell Houghton, allowing Washy to rotate with the back rowers like he previously was.

| Quote: cas all the way "at least 2k from Cas it will be. Hopefully more. As somebody said we have took over 2k away to all of our sunday afternoon games so far.
I expect you to win. We looked real tired in both games over Easter.
A loss for us wouldnt be the end of the world. We would still be top of the league through the first half of the season having played the so called bigger teams all away from home.
Hull away
Wigan away
Salford away
Widnes away (not a big team but tough pitch)
Warrington away
Saints away
all done so dare I say the run in should be a little easier. A win on Sunday and we go 2 wins clear at the half way point of the regular season.
Hull to give us our biggest loss of the season. Somehwere between 12-20points Hull win is my prediction.'"
Keep the faith.
Lads will be hurting after that 4 point defeat at saints.
Bounce back time Sunday.

Much better financially for your club for fans to buy tickets directly in advance especially with the increase this year for away ticket sales purchased from the away teams ticket office/interface.

| For sure but rumour has it that Hull only sent 1100 over.... Im guessing more will have been sent since. We were given the corner to begin with but they are opening some of behing the goal too a Hull fan said on our forum.
Always enjoy our trip over to Hull. With a big following and 2 teams wanting that top spot it should be a cracker.

| after our last two dog poo home showings, the home fans are owed a good showing so here's hoping we get a win without silly offloads, plays that are never on and committed defence/tackling

Yes, that would really work. Dont let your anti City bias force you into silly comments.
