Hull - Massive game : Wed Mar 30, 2016 7:40 am  

Early days but a really big game this weekend against a genuine fellow top four challenger.

I fear our (largely enforced) lack of rotation over easter will cost us against a fresher hull who have a pack capable of handling ours and more strike in the backs with Percy and Lomax still absent.

Can we pick up the two points? Are hull a team that could take our top 4 spot?

As a Hull fan I am quietly confident about Friday - which I normally wouldn't say against Saints!

On Monday we rested Fonua, Pritchard, Sika Manu, Minichiello (injured), Tuimavave (Injured), Talanoa but I think they could all return and they are strike players for us.

Ellis was a machine over Easter, and may get a rest but plenty to come in and replace him. I just hope we continue to play like we did in the last 20 against HKR and then against Warrington where we played off the cuff Rugby, on the back of some really good go forward by our pack

Is Makinson fit? If not, it's how he fiddles around with it. Turner back to centre, Dawson to the wing or Bailey...

Gonna be a tough one but I believe we can grind out a victory at home. That player inquest they had seems to have done them the world of good though so we'll see.

Didn't we put Bailey in the team against Hull last season and they bombed him all day and picked up 12 points off him.

That's right mate. If that game didn't already wreck his confidence then being dumped and forgotten in the reserves ever since may have done.

As you guys have already said, this is a really big game for both clubs. It's already starting to look like Hull, Saints and Catalans will be scrapping it out for 3rd and 4th, so someone will give themselves a big boost here.

I think the players we have returning just about swing it in our favour. Not only are Manu, Pritchard, Fonua, Tuimavave and Minichiello all important players, but they should all be relatively fresh having sat out on Monday. I'm not going to take anything for granted but I am confident of a result. I just hope we play with freedom and take the game to you rather than play to not lose like we seem to do too often. After the way the weekend went we shouldn't be lacking in confidence though.

Saints 20 - 30 Hull

£22.50 we paid to stand from the fc club shop!

maybe more expensive on the day, if so, saints officials should hang their heads in shame at those prices just to stand at a RL game, £18-20 would've been more reasonable
