He's playing them again aswell

come on gaz make it a double

But we're still 9th and imo is a poor season if we don't make the play offs esp as we haven't been close to the play offs at all always been chasing

People talking like he's inherited a squad full of championship players

He's under pressure to deliver some sort of challenge next season

Smith is probably the most disadvantaged coach at Hull for a long while due to financial constraints, despite this he has improved us as a team and a few players too. Last year we finished 9th with 22 points, I think we will finish higher than that and get more points.

We are also playing the most entertaining rugby in years and it looks like the youth system is ready to start paying off.

I'd be happy if we have a real fight until the end of the season, recruit smarter so we don't two overseas players not good enough for the 17 and start to regularly bring players through. If we do that I'm sure we will challenge for the 6 next season.

A good/positive start is vital for us tonight, now gameday has come I am struggling to pick a winner.

We've been absolutely dreadful in the first half of the last few games, Hudds seem to have found some form so we need to be at it from the get go or the game could be done by half time. They look near enough at full strength so hopefully it will be a good game and we keep Jake quiet (Connor proceeds to play a blinder)

I'm not overly confident with this one , Hudds by 14 .

Very surprised with Lovodua on the bench instead of Brown.

Don’t understand that at all.

Let’s hope it turns out to be a master stroke and I’m left eating my words

Awful first set lol

Slow plodding no intensity

First ten minutes shows why we badly need to add some size and aggression to our pack
