Hopefully Wire by 14 or more takes us of the bottom (If your guess is correct).

By far the more realistic of the guesses up to now.

And the game is free to view on BBC so another national embarrassment for Hull FC.

I feel for you OF. It's no fun when your team is in the doldrums.

The frustrating thing is, that any sort of application in defence could see this Catalans side struggle. But I can't see that happening, and some very soft tries will be conceded.

Stranger things have happened though, but I can see Catalans making the 6 by virtue of having more favourable loop fixtures.

Cats by enough to ensure that Hull finish bottom.

If your prediction of a Leigh win on the other thread (hope you're right! Not convinced myself), then I can't see Catalans really turning up. If Leigh lose, then this is a distinct possibility.

Regardless SL needs a strong Hull FC in the future

Yes, with our big travelling support, we should be welcome at all clubs.

Exactly how I see it too.

I think they have been welcomed this season due to it being an easy two points.

All joking apart, I agree. Although they have many out I hope the players show some pride and put up a fight, if they do,you never know

[Agbrigg]

Well after the Leigh result tonight all I can add is come on Hull and rub moaning namaras nose in it.

I might have a flutter on Hull to win this now that Catalans have nothing to play for.

McNamara will make sure that Hull FC don't finish bottom and tell his Catalan team to take it easy on his former team

I shouldn't tempt fate, because I know just how bad we are, but surely even we can't lose by more than 50 against a Catalans team with nothing to play for. Can we?

Some of SM selections this season have been a bit strange

I think that's an understatement.

I'm not sure where he is as regards his contract, but when this one ends i think him and Dragons will part ways, as i think he taken them as far as he can.

Not to make the play offs this season will be very disappointing for everyone connected with the club, and most of all the owner.

I agree.  It would be nice if they were able to move back to or at least incorporate more of a traditional french style of play.  I don't whether the game has just moved on too far from that, but French sides used to be fun to watch.

How long you going back slowdive? Cats gave always had their fair share of Brits and Antipodeans who dictate their playing style.

As for today is Tomkins reffing - sorry playing - today, he looked very upset last night when realising his team were relegated from GF finalists to a bottom half team in SL in just one season, a first time for that to happen isn't it.
