If Hudds can get off to a good start & keep the crowd quiet then it's a winnable game. However Hull at the KC is always a big ask. Plus it's almost a lottery with officials now, for either side.

Biggest game of the season, lose and I will be slightly disappointed with the season.

I feel that apart from halfback (brough) I think we are better in the other areas and have a better coach, so with home advantage we should win just.

Just looked at their team for the Leeds game and it's stronger than I thought, some good max ups.

Think Hudds will win. Intensity is much greater in theses games and whilst we've had 2 easy wins and a big loss in our last 3 games, they are more battle-hardened after last week. Looking forward to it though, much more so than going to Headingley last year when there was zero chance.

There's not much difference there for me, with a few exceptions.

Containing Crabtree and Mason, and stopping Brough is the key. We can't give Broughy room to think and play.

FC by a one try margin

I think Moa will feature

I hope so, but sure I read Mcrae or Gentle saying he wouldnt play this week, if he does straight swap for Green.

Was all dependent on what the consultant said, he has been training this week, and I am sure he will want to feature in the last home game, yeah I agree straight swap for Green. I don't think the team looks too shabby tbh, going to be a right good battle.

I think our bench just edges it...just.

Nothing to pick between the run on teams.

It will all be down to attitude and application.

After seeing that Hudds squad, I am slightly less confident then I was. Our forwards need to boss this game, and the rest will see to itself imo.

Looking at the two squads I think its too close to call but I'm less optimistic than I was before Hudds beat Leeds.

If we are to win our forwards need to get on top early on and we need to stop Brough.

Then of course there's the Child factor so anything could happen.

Our forwards are far more formidable with Luke O'Donnell. A top player and one who demands more from his fellow forwards. Should be an awesome forward struggle.

Child is a worry!

Mason's rubbish but the rest of their pack is a real handful. Stop Brough - we win, by far the best half back on show.

At least Child made the decision to send off Micky Mac tother day - gotta be given some credit there.

Should be a really good game, I am looking forward to it.

I want Hudds to win obviously!
