Given Catalans recent form, excellent pack, higher league placing, position as defending champions and their recent rinsing of us at the same ground a win looks a remote possibility. However we do seem to reserve our best performances for the cup and you never know in a one off game. I think we will go something like:
Shaul
Faraimo
Tuimavave
Connor
Naulago
Kelly
Sneyd
Taylor
Houghton
Paea
Manu
Minichiello
Hadley

Bowden
Green
Ellis
Griffin

Your getting your excuses in early, think you've covered all bases except they've also stayed in England to reduce the fatigue factor, you better add that in.
Seriously why do you always write us off pre game, set up the ready made excuses but then defend us vehemently when we do lose?

I genuinely believe that squad is strong enough to beat Catalan.
I'm going for a Hull win and a performance to right the wrongs.

She does for a bit of fun and a bite. Haven't you realised? Keep up the good work Mrs B

Does she feck but you're so far up you don't see that.
It's not fun it's what she does, if only you would wake up and smell the coffee instead of hanging off her every word.
Seriously deluded.

Don't make this about me please. I have articulated 5 contextual facts, offered our decent cup form up in mitigation and suggested a squad. You immediately and deliberately de-rail. I could counter that you are "going for a Hull win" to set us up for a failure and another stick to beat Radford with but I won't, that would be silly.

I hope we manage to at least compete this week after the tragic weekend. Small steps to improvement hopefully.

Easy tiger.

You've inadvertently proven my point.

I'm not making it about you, nor would I intentionally ever do so. Maybe have a word with bicycle he included you.
I simply disagreed with your kidoligy.
I'm not setting Hull up for failure. Lose and play well, I'll be happy, win and play ugly I'll be very happy but another performance like Saturday and I'll be well vexed and question the team and Radford.
5 days to turn it around, this game will be a measure of the team and coach alike.
Have ticket, still going and yes genuinely positive about our chances.

As much as your incompetence infuriates me

Well if what I hear is right we won't be able to play the injury card this week.

We should be looking to win this at all costs as there is the obvious incentive of potentially landing either Halifax or Bradford in the semis.
We've generally bounced back well from previous hidings so I'm confident we will give a good account and optimistic of the win.

I really really hope we win then draw Bulls fax etc and AP gets a massive money spinner
That’s how much is as stake !!!
It’s a Monumental game

If we get we’ll beat then I’m sure AP pulls the pin on the coaching staff

But please please can we have a result
A win would be lovely jubbly

Bookis have us as marginal favourites with Catalans slight odds against.
Probably like a lot of us wondering which Hull FC will turn up.
Had a few quid on the draw at 25/1.
Just hope Mr Sneyd can slot it through the uprights in extra-time if that pans out.
Fingers crossed on the phone Friday morning booking a bus to Bolton for the 27th or 28th of July.
Bring it on baby.
