Hull FC 22-24 Catalans

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Hull by 6.

[Wiltshire Warrior Dragon]

Just about impossible to call this one.  It depends which Hull FC and which Les Dracs turn up!  Inconsistency has been their common theme this season so far. 

Les Dracs will regret McMeeken's absence, as he has been possibly their most consistently good player, but psychologically will be buoyed by the news that he has signed a two year extension to the end of 2024. 

I have yet to be fully convinced about Mattieu Laguerre, but, to be fair to the lad, he has just made the SL Team of the Week.  In a low key sort of way, I think Jullien and Goudemand have had quite a lot of good moments from what I have seen and read.

[StandOffHalf]

Catalans to do enough.

Neither team are really playing all that well but it should still be a fun contest to see out the round.

Les Drax 26-16

[ATLANTISMAN]

Could go either way, regardless looking forward to it will be leaving sunny Kent (And it was really sunny yesterday at Canterbury for the cricket:) around 9am nice drive up to Hull:)

Overnight stay and back in the morning easy drive back  over the bridge A1 M11 M25 and HOME:)))))

Impressive amount of travel, hope you have a good trip and "enjoy" the Hull FC hospitality.

[Old Frightful]

No clue about this one but if both teams play to how the season has panned out thus far then it will probably be an away win.

Hoping my lot realise they're playing a good Catalans side and put the effort in, Hell, it could even be close.

Ullefsee 18 Les Cats 24.

[Old Frightful]

I've just noticed the name "Taylor" in the Hull FC squad.

Anybody have the faintest notion who this could be?

Two of Super Leagues top 3 spenders here so it should be a good encounter.

I'll go for the better coached team which IMO is Catalans.

[DavidM]

Dunno what Wells is on about . The ref shouts ‘ out ‘ when it’s out of the scrum 

[Normy_Rover]

Poor defending by Cats for that try

[JohnM]

Hull to win. 

[dkw]

Another absolutely anonymous stint by Napa, he's a complete waste of space.

[MZH]

A very solid and disciplined first half from Hull. Our defence, line speed and kick chase has been excellent, and in attack we have mostly taken good options and haven't been afraid to chance our arm when it's on. If we can keep that up we should get home with a bit to spare.

[dkw]

Penalty for pulling players off........hmm......

[Barca Mum]

Sorry if it's been answered before where is Brian Carney 

[JohnM]

At the moment, I can't see Catalans scoring any more points. Hull much better organised than Cats.

[Padge]

Can't burden Conner with thinking, yep I'll agree with that.

That did make me laugh.

[Padge]

Is there a local lockdown in Hull that stadium sounds echoey.

[JohnM]

Hull living proof that a good big un beats a good little un any day.

Not a good 5 minutes by Jake Connor.

[Padge]

That was brilliant spatial awarenes
