Think were in for a hiding unless Austin pulls off a mammoth display against his favourite opposition. If they block our left edge, its curtains.

Hull will be setting themselves all week expecting a flowing attack from the right with swift pass, players drawing their man and dummy runners leaving the oppostion in two minds. This is when we'll surprise them with a radical 5 drives followed by a high kick to Toby King move.

Hull won't see it coming.

Despite all your worries Hull are a little over rated so i do not see a blow out , in fact i fancy Wire by 4 to 6 points

you'd know over-rated watching your own team Leeds!

It will be a good test of where we are, but won't be a defining game this season. Pity that I won't be able to watch it, but will stick the radio on.

I think it's probably a good test for both teams. You were disappointing against Cas, bounced back well against Leigh, but then it's only Leigh. We have looked great but our opponents have been pretty disappointing both games. I think this game will give us the best indication yet of what we might both be able to achieve this year.

Hull will grind us down and beat us up, i'm not expecting a win at all. I'd love us more than anything to turn them over but the old clichè of inconsistency is still rife.

Re: Hull : Wed Apr 14, 2021 7:54 am  

I'm certainly not as confident as you lot are, for a Hull win, the last two times you have played us at the KC you have given us a good hammering.

You still have the players to hurt teams, particularly in your spine and Currie looks back his best, so your left edge is very effective, although our right edge with Saveilio, Tuimavave and Faramio (or Fonua) is very strong.

As others have mentioned we have looked good in the first 2 SL games, but both opposition didn't play that well (or maybe we put them off their game) and this for me is our first big test, missing Reynolds is a blow, hopefully Sneyd will be fit as we looked lost 2nd half without his calming influence.

Shame it isn't a TV game or cannot be purchased, in a sport that is short of money and exposure it's crazy that you can't buy individual SL games.

You've hit the nail on the head there. There's a live stream happening, there's potentially thousands of people (including me) who would make a one-off payment to watch it, but they don't allow it. Absolute madness. With decisions like that, it's no wonder the sport is in trouble.

The problem was giving Sky exclusivity to all live Superleague games. They won't be allowed to open it up to everyone.
