Would require a coach with a bit of vision so Washy & Horne against Quins i suspect.



Horne has never played well alongside Washy and has rarely had a chance to show what he can do alongside Long. Strangely he had his two best games alongside Turner.

That is a very good point actually!

Spot on. With Longy missing Horne has had to be rushed back, before he got injured he was in great form.

get long back and we may see a better richard horne,with less responsibility on his shoulders.

I agree, and that is the combination i would like to see in Edingburgh..Horne starting to hit his form before the injury and I am sure he will start to improve again

hopefully.i am not a big fan of lms either but am struggling to really pin down a 'domestic' prop to single out,who we may be able to entice to the kc.

I wouldn't be disappointed with the signing of LMS if happened but feel we should look at other better options providing they are available of course.

I think we will make the play offs I've always maintained the opinion we'd finish in one of the 5th to 8th positions. Looking at the fixtures we've got the hardest away games out the way now (Wigan, Saints, Leeds and Rovers (in our case anyway) ) , the next three games are vital for our season. Quins, Catalans and Castleford are all winnable games for us and if we win them we will go into the Saints game with a record of 10 wins and 5 losses. That should do wonders for the confidence of the players and will get a lot of the fans of the backs of players, particular the younger ones who do suffer when receiving a lot of criticism.

The trouble is the people of Hull are really demanding in terms of success which isn't a bad thing but when we lose one game we are far too quick to jump on the backs of the players which does more damage then good IMO. I know people will only judge on results which is fair enough but IMO we have improved a lot since last season and anyone who really expected us to be one of the frontrunners this season was probably setting there standards too high.

If we can win the next three games I am optimistic we can make the play off's and hopefully give a good account of ourselves from that point onwards. Rome not built in a day and all that.

quins fullback,jones-bishop fractured his skull at wigan and will defo be missing against us on saturday.

Bloody hell, hope he recovers.

Those clammering for turner to be at off half obviously didn't see his impression of a turnstyle at headingley

Just watched the hightlights of Wigan and Quins on the superleague website, Quins look poor in defence the first half abd Wigan broke tem many times.

The 2nd half was a diffrent story they looked very dangerous ball in hand, when they made a break, the back play was superb (something we could learn from).

Keep an eye on Dorn, take no dummy and close his space down he scored 2 good tries from spotting gaps and going through them against Wigan.

Also kick high to their wingers, Penny and Sharp both poor under the high ball. I would love to see Briscoe run at Penny.

BJB out for them is a big blow very good attcking FB and will meaning switching their team about.

What about Wire, Bradford and Hudds?

I think we tend to make all our away games hard for some reason.

Lets hope we are classed as the home team on Saturday

Whether he plays centre or 6 he will defending in roughly the same position. He has defended better at 6 than at centre, Leeds seemed to be a one off for him tbh, the rest ofnthe time he has defended quite well.
