Your club got a massive monkey off their backs on Saturday

When the Rhinos got rid of their CC monkey in 2014 (and also in 2015) players were still tweeting photos of tables full of drinks and shots late into Monday evening

I would expect that your guys will be doing pretty much the same and backing up against any side the week after isn't easy

It's all about player management from here on in for you guys, you've got enough points in the bag to rest as many players as you want to and to then get them mentally fit for the Big game v Wigan the week after

Only 4 or 5 of the cup final team will be playing.

Fully agree with only playing 4-5 from the final, it has to be done for the good of the whole season, and we can actually afford to lose by 30 points.

Only ones who have to play IMO would be Bowden, Green, Washbrook (hooker), Tuimavave (covering centre) and possibly one out of Shaul/Talanoa.

I really hope this isn't true. He was laughing and joking on Franks pre-match video

Shame if true about Pryce, played a bit part in the win against Saints in the cup.

My team would be

Naughton
Lancaster
Yeaman
Pryce
Micheals
Abdul
HTW
Green
Houghton
Masi
Hadley
Tomo
Washy

Litten
Fash
Turgut
Osborne

That's far too much for me the likes of HTW, Litten, Matongo and perhaps Lancaster won't get a game.

I'd go with

Shaul
Naughton
Fonua
Yeaman
Talanoa
Pryce (although can't see him playing for Hull again)
Abdull
Green
Houghton
Bowden
Turgut
Hadley
washbrook

Thompson
Feka
Fash
Downs

If Shaul doesn't play Naughton to fullback and Lancaster on the wing.

I suspect that might be more to do with him not being part of the club going forward than any falling out. I imagine he was invited since he was present at Wembley.

Pearson didn't want to go on stage at the end either but was persuaded. These things can be personal emotional decisions.

Yup - especially when you consider who and where Warrington are playing next - without Westwood and probably without Gidley (Sandow is reported to have hurt his knee as well)

Not a chance any of the players from Saturday will be right physically for Friday. They won't have stopped drinking until last night.

Recovery today and probably Wednesday, then building up slowly to be back in from Sunday I reckon. I'd happily see all 17 rested.

Someone was training this evening at about 7pm at County Road.

I wonder how many of us fans will be going? Got our tickets today. Whoever plays I'm pretty certain the party in the stands will continue regardless the score

By my reckoning we only need to win 2 to get a home semi BUT one of the wins needs to be against Wigan next week, Wake should be a formality ?

So, down time this week then peak against wigan.
