I do hope they aren't feeling as nervous as I am! Hull have their first 1-13 available so no excuses can be had.
Expecting a very tough game for this one, the first few minutes will be key as Hull will come out hard. I fully expect Connor to be trying to wind up our players - and macintosh can be a bit of a windup merchant also so he might have a dig.
Its very interesting looking at the current stats. we are 2nd highest for tries and tackle busts, have fewest missed tackles, highest number of attacking kicks, carries and metres. 3rd highest average gain per carry, and clean breaks than every other team in SL. We have made fewer errors than every other team........ except Hull FC.
If we play to our best we can certainly win this, but we do have to play our best we need to stick to our game plan and don't let them dictate how to play.
It would be nice to recreate last years win when savelio spat his dummy but I think this year is going to be very different.

Its not our 1st 13 Jools.Taylor is still out and Joe Cator out too who would be in our 17.
The problem we have and an advantage to Hudds in my opinion is the changes the coach will make to bring back three players Tuimavave.Reynolds and Evans after lengthy injuries.
Players need to be match fit in an important match like this.

You have named numbers 1-13 in your squad. That’s your first 13. In fact you only have number 15 missing from 1-17. So no excuses.

Technically Taylor is a starting prop but wanted number 30. Lane isn't playing, neither is Carlos, so that's 3 and 13 out too. Reynolds on the bench

Fabulous performance. Some VERY smart use of subs from the coaching staff.lolohea deserved MOM. Our forwards were awesome. We worked hard for each other and in the first half we put hill under a lot of pressure and made them work work very hard which was their undoing.
Their forwards were matched. Gale and connor pretty anonymous. - apart from when connor was performing for his Oscar to try to win penalties.
Certainly deserved the win. Looking forward to the next game!

No arguments here. We looked way off it today and the best team won. Hope you get a kind draw in the semis and can go all the way.
