Not sure about Brown been one of the best around, makes some odd selections at time, look at how much Hudds improved with the same side when he left. Make some good signings though.
Really hard game for us, but not impossible to come away with the points if we improve on a few things. Not expected to win, so a bit of pressure off us for this game.

Want to see us tighter in defense and improvement in discipline, don't think we can win this as even if we can match Saints, Walsh kicked 7 from 7 including 2 from the touchline IIRC, although I don't honestly expect it to be that close. Looking forward to it though.
Will be interesting to see how Wire respond this week at Leeds, might have a chance there....

For me, 100% the latter. I was very critical of our second half in particular.
One thing that worries me is your attack, but your defence was woeful on Friday.

Expect that defence will have been addressed in training this week so hopefully not as leaky. If we are as potent in attack again and can convert trys we may have a chance, but still feel you will have too much for us.
Think Prekkie would have wanted a draw and I would most certainly take a point if one was on offer...

| Three more making the trip down to Saints, as we do every year. After the unfortunate loss of Preckie, hoping for an especially big crowd to pay our respects.
Onto the game, I believe it's a tough one to call. I've backed Saints to win the competition at the start of the year and they undoubtedly are favourites for this game, but we can cause them problems. If we can get a roll-on and attack with the same pace and precision as we did in patches last week, we can score points. But we have to improve massively in defence, especially on the right-edge, Luke Walsh and his outside backs could have a field day if we're not careful.
I'm predicting Saints by 11-15.

| Certainly need to improve our right hand defence, between crooks and lineham they missed 12 tackles, after watching the try's a few times, I'd say Lineham cost us 3 try's with his bad decisions and poor positioning. But I'm sure it is something that they have been working on this week. If this doesn't tighten up, it could be a long night.

| I've not been to Langtree Park. Does anyone know what the parking is like? The official line is to use the multi-storey across the bridge but I was wondering what people's experiences were.

| Strange that after 1 game it's Hull's defense which is being questioned when last year it was your strongest facet.
As for us this year - with Amor Roby Walmsley we have a great starting front row - several times last year we was 16 + pts behind when Walmsley came on and changed the game. We also have an organiser in Walsh which also lets Wilkin concentrate on what he does well (ie not a halfback). With Wheeler fit that gives us 2 halfbacks over last years none.
Expecting a good game - and by no means a certain Saints win

| Walmsley looks a great prop already - he'd be one I'd sign but is probably tied down for 10 years.

Multi storey is fine, a bit of a queue to get out but known worse at Walton St.
