We will win by at least 12 points.

The weather is as poor as predicted, so it’s going to be a real battle. Whoever has the better discipline and makes the fewest errors will have a great chance. It feels like a game that’s going to go right down to the last minute with both sides being pretty mobile and not having many players who will fade from a fitness POV.

It might sound daft but I'm not sure Bevan French should be played in this weather - his strengths are practically nullified on a wet and muddy pitch plus he struggled to deal with Fonua last week. Might be an idea to replace him with Manfredi.

Not sure you know. I’d be using him to try and get in behind Fonua from kicks, a bit like the one against Cas and looking to constantly turn Fonua and make him work. He’s a big lad and doesn’t look the fittest or the quickest at turning. This game will more than likely be tight and if there’s little space on offer, if want my biggest threat in terms of speed and footwork in the side.

Let’s drop our best player for a bloke who hasn’t played in about 9 months

Well let's see what happens.

Re: Hull FC Cup Game : Sat May 08, 2021 12:06 pm  

Manfredi on the bench and Byrne starting in place of Clubb are the changes from last week.

Clark might as well pack in, he's never getting a run

Seems like a good team set up. Manfredi to come off the bench when there are tired defenders. Possibly swap Him for Isa drop hardaker to centre and French to FB then we have a new attacking plan with Isa to come on with some strong carries when needed. The big worry is is Manfredi the same player after his injury
