Hull FC Vs Bradford Bulls - Round 4 : Wed Mar 05, 2014 3:35 pm  

Bulls squad announced for friday night; 19 man squad for Hull Bulls squad: Danny Addy, Danny Bridge, Greg Burke, Matt Diskin, James Donaldson, Jamie Foster, Luke Gale, Adam Henry, Elliot Kear, Brett Kearney, Manase Manuokafoa , Anthony Mullally, Adam O’Brien, Tom Olbison, Adrian Purtell, Oliver Roberts, Adam Sidlow, Liam Sutcliffe, Chev Walker. Burke and Sutcliffe straight into the 17.

Just have to keep on top of their forwards.

Hopefully your guys can turn up with their minds on the job (not easy at the moment). Obviously I want a win but a blow out never really does anyone any good.

Despite being 1 from 3 we have played some really good stuff. We gave ourselves every chance of beating both Saints and Wire but ill discipline and errors let us down. Do disrespect intended to you guys but I think regardless of our discipline we should have too much pace and power for you, and if we play a clean game we should win comfortably. Hull by 20 for me, but I've seen too many slip ups in games like this to be getting too confident.

Cant see past Hull either, they did play very good against wire and saints and came close but like you said ill-discipline (i didn't see either game just what i read afterwards), but you never know Hull seem our bogey team sometimes but a win would be very welcome.

Hull are obvious favourites for this but stranger things have happened. Nobody gave us a chance the week before we beat Wigan away in 2012 and away at Hudders last year.

Bringing in Burke and Sutcliffe gives us a much needed boost.

Re: Hull FC Vs Bradford Bulls - Round 4 : Wed Mar 05, 2014 4:33 pm  

If Burke can have the same impact Mullaly has had, we have every chance

Kearney
Kear
Henry
Purtell
Foster
Sutcliffe
Gale
Nas
Diskin
Sidlow
Donaldson
Bridge
Addy

Mullaly
Burke
O'Brien
Chev/Olbison

Would be content with that i think, especially the work donno and bridge have done over the past couple of weeks.

Re: Hull FC Vs Bradford Bulls - Round 4 : Wed Mar 05, 2014 4:34 pm  

BK
Kear
Henry
Purtell
Foster
Sutcliffe/Addy
Gale
Nas
Diskin
Sidlow
Bridge
Olbison
Donaldson

Sutcliffe/Addy
Mullally
Burke
Walker

AoB and Roberts to miss out, I just can't decide if FC will actually start with Sutcliffe at 6 or bring him on during the game and let Addy do a spell at 9.

The alternative to this would be to give Chev a rest and move Addy into the 2nd row when Sutcliffe comes on.

The rest of the team takes care of itself.

On a positive note, Ross has told me that FC has stated that Ferguson could be back as early as next week.

Re: Hull FC Vs Bradford Bulls - Round 4 : Wed Mar 05, 2014 4:35 pm  

Fergy Ferg next week would a lot a much needed bite, especially with bridges loan coming to an end.

Re: Hull FC Vs Bradford Bulls - Round 4 : Wed Mar 05, 2014 5:29 pm  

I'd like Bridge to stay on another month.

Re: Hull FC Vs Bradford Bulls - Round 4 : Wed Mar 05, 2014 9:24 pm  

I'm expecting a Hull win but I'm happy with the loan signings we have made this week. We have four props once again, if only temporarily.
