In spite of the current turmoil at Saints, it's very difficult to see how the disastrous season Hull FC are currently experiencing will improve later on this evening.

Never say never OF as Saints are bad at the moment as well, but I understand your pessimism.

[Wollo Wollo Wayoo]

Here we go again.  Come on Hull!   Then Batchelor or Bell give away a couple of quick penalties and it all goes downhill from there.

FC by 10.
Crowd 8,300.

Probably the game Saints would have if they had chance to hand pick a fixture. Can't see FC threatening enough to get enough points to beat Saints. 

A 5 page thread about Saints' turmoil, and they likely go level on points with 6th tonight, with about 15 players missing.

Have Saints got some players missing? They’ve kept quiet about that. 

[Loiner]

Can't imagine Hull troubling Saints in this one. Saints need to win by 44+ to overtake Leigh and I can't see them doing that. But Saints by 20 pts.

I think Hull’s big pack will be too much for the Saints one. 

[The Hallucinating Goose]

We're gonna get pumped.

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

Hull by 8.

[Thunder Road]

Difficult this one as both teams are struggling. 

 

However Hull are poor.

 

Saints by 12

We've helped so many come through a bad patch this season we could set ourselves up as a registered charity. Some sort of community service award is surely on its way at least.

No idea on score but can't see it being a thriller

the worst team of the 2 on the night  will lose - opposed to the best team winning - hope the game isn't killed by VR -penalties  and stoppages before it even gets a chance to entertain

I feel a Golden Point extra time coming on. And neither team scoring in the extra 10 minutes. Game finishing at 10.20pm.

This should be billed as ‘The Battle of the Boring’ so with my expert knowledge that’ll be a 37-36 thriller.

I haven’t watched every single game (I mean other teams) this year but from what I have seen only Cas and Hull are as bad as Saints currently. Still there’s a trophy at stake and only these two great sides have ever lifted it

who are you? Doris Stokes ?

[Agbrigg]

Hull good enough to win and  can also be bad enough to get smashed. Same applies to Saints. Therefore I dont have a clue

Trying to watch this on Superleague+ and get a message saying "content not available" - anyone else having issues or have any ideas?
