Leigh by 18.

[Harry Stottle]

Quite worried about this game for Leigh, only possibly one change from last week with Halton 50/50 for the 18, we showed against Cas that the individual replacements we have are fine when selected individually but collectively struggle, Hull play well at home against Leigh and I think they will again this week trying to gain back some professional pride from last week's loss at York, all depends on which Leigh team turns up.

Leigh with a squeaky bum win for their fans.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Us by a billion.

[Harry Stottle]

Forgot to say, early doors for Leigh's new big body Lazarus Vaalepu but looking forward to him challenging Herman Ese'ese.

Just for fun, watch how many times Hull FC actually play the ball.

It will be below 10 times per half.

They are actively coached to play roll-ball. They, without fail, merely stride forwards and step over the ball.

Opposition coaches are fed up of raising it with Bentham.

It's clearly giving us a huge advantage

This fixture last year was probably the game of season. It had absolutely everything. I highly doubt we will see a repeat. I'm sure we will compete for a while, but as always I've no idea where the points are coming from, and Leigh will eventually pull away. 28-10 to Leigh

Imagine where you would be without it!!!

That's how bad HFC are.

Massive, yet gash.

Should be a giant of the game - instead, pretty much a laughing stock.

Pro-players in the game privately mock HFC - it's called the "Elephant Graveyard" - it's where you go to die!

At least we know we're though.

Maybe we need to rebrand as the Jaguars and find an obnoxious chav to buy us out. That would solve all our problems and we most definitely wouldn't be a laughing stock then.

Leigh will need Ipape to play a lot better than he did last week, with Mulhern and Joffa still missing. If Halton doesn’t play, I’m hoping Wilde gets a chance off the bench, in place of McNamara.

Adam Pearson?

[Thunder Road]

Banana skin for Leigh this game.

It all depends which team actually turns up.

Both teams punctuated with injuries.

 

Horrible feeling Hull will win in a close match.

[Snowys Backside]

Hull great value with 12 start. 
 

If Leigh play like they did last week, we will get pumped. 
 

The better players need to do more

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Hull must fancy their chances after seeing Cas nearly pull off a shock win last week. 

[Ullman]

Doesn't seem to matter whether the opposition are at the top end of the table or the bottom end, most of Hull's games seem to follow the same pattern. They stay in the contest and give themselves a chance but the opposition have more points when the hooter goes. Not expecting that pattern to change today.

[The Hallucinating Goose]

Dreadful defence.

[LeytherRob]

Ethan O’Neill just waved him through then, horrendous defence there

[graveyard johnny]

that was like running round traffic cones

Must have been  watching Rervers tackling- or not tackling .

FC are terrible no urgency, poor defensive effort thrir league position doesn’t lie

[Archie Gordon]

Why do we let Hull do this every year? Season finished by June, fans don't show up, then give them an A grade.

It was Harvie Hill. God knows why Wigan fans wanted to keep him. I would struggle to name more than 2 or 3 worse props that I've ever seen in black and white.

Myler's only halfway through his three year plan.
