Old Frightful Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 The one bright thought in my mind is that at least it won't be as f***ing cold as when we met earlier this year. Sky Sports Jenna Brooks to Jake Connor regarding England selection : "Shaun Wane has said that he's spoken to you about why you were left out, he's also said he's told you what you needed to do more of, I'm interested, what do you need to do more of and did you do it tonight?" Jake Connor : "I don't know, to be honest I haven't spoken to him." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Stottle Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Hull do pull one or two out of the hat each season, I think this will be one of those, Hull to win by 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxford Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Is this not on't telly? Only it's the sort of game where I enjoy seeing both sides beating seven bells out of the other. 2 warning points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MZH Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Saints aren't at their best at the minute and Hull have been much improved in the last couple, so an upset isn't beyond the realms of possibility. I can't really see it though. Saints by 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, Saints are well out of sorts at the moment and with nothing much to play for until the play offs. Their line speed is nothing like what it was earlier in the season and this is a good opportunity for the monochromes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Toppy Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 For once Saints have actually got more players back than they've lost. Sironen & Hill drop out but they get Hopoate, Paasi, Mata'utia & Simm back., though not sure if Hopoate is fully fit to play. If he is it will be a much more balanced backline than in recent weeks. Probably looking at a team of; Hopoate Makinson, Hurrell Mata'utia Bennison Welsby Lomax Walmsley Roby Lees Bell Batchelor Knowles LMS Lussick Paasi Wingfield Strongest team they've been able to put out for a while. I just hope they don't persist with Davies at centre, he's really struggled.

FearTheVee Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 (edited) Like most games of RL it will come down to attitude. Hull might be more desperate given Saints nailed on for top2, but Saints won’t want to give up a buffer at the top before the Wigan game given how out of form we are. Wouldn’t be at all surprised to see a Hull win and tbh I don’t really care as long as we don’t pick up more injuries/bans as that’s what it’s all about until play-off time.

Ullman Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Going to be around 30°C at kick off. Been to plenty of Hull home games where it's been around 30°F at kick off but I think this will be a first. 1 Old Faithful we never lose at Wembley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too much raw pace in the Saints team which isn’t great in these conditions . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jughead Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Quite the contrast from sleet in February, today. Just get through it without any injuries or suspensions and I’m happy. We’re in the top two, the hubcap would be nice but we’ve pretty much got the home advantage for the play-offs already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live after death Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Hull need to win to keep any play offs hopes alive. Cannot see Salford Leeds and Cas dropping 2 many games out of there last 4 if Hull lose today they are pretty much going to gave to win all their last 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Frightful Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Can’t help but wonder when I read comments from Hull and Hull KR fans about needing to win X amount of games to make the top 6. Its laughable, they’d just manage to qualify for the end of season comp that they’d both get stuffed in. As for today, if we stay within 20 points and don’t collapse to another embarrassing score line then that’ll do me. 2 Sky Sports Jenna Brooks to Jake Connor regarding England selection : "Shaun Wane has said that he's spoken to you about why you were left out, he's also said he's told you what you needed to do more of, I'm interested, what do you need to do more of and did you do it tonight?"

Would be even less surprised by a loss now Welsby hasn’t been named in the XVII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris22 Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 I say it every week, but worth repeating. Saints very rarely 'batter' any team. We have only scored 30+ points around 3 times in Super League this year. Hopoate and Mata'utai back is a big boost, but Welsby out is a blow. Always unknown how the heat will impact both teams. I'll go Saints by 10. Twitter: @TrylineUK Latest Blog: How do you stop St Helens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jughead Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Five pumpings in just over a month. Hull being Hull. Shocking that they had a chance to get in the play-offs before today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
