Wakey : Sun Sep 10, 2017 9:17 am  

Absolutely massive game for both teams, certainly our biggest SL game so far this season.

Wakey are a decent side, so need to be on our game or we will lose.

Ellis back is massive for us, hopefully Carlos as well.

I'd play Connor at centre as for me e is too good not to play in the 13, put Griffin on the wing or the bench depending on

Watts will no doubt be banned.

Hopefully a decent crowd and a similar atmosphere to Friday night.

A real shame we're missing Talanoa, Watts, Green. I'd maybe go:
Shaul
Michaels
Tuimavave
Connor
Fonua
Kelly
Sneyd
Bowden
Houghton
Taylor
Mini
Manu
Ellis

Fash
Matongo
Washbrook
Griffin

We have had a habit of losing 3 league matches on the trot and going on a decent run of wins. Well we have had the 3 losses, we now need 4 win on the spin.

Would like to think the RFL would do the right thing on Watts, but as it's the 3rd time this season I can only see a ban as RFL will not want to contradict their ref.

We play like we did v Wigan and we beat Wakey. Ellis being back is huge.

Agree with that. Shame for Watts, IMO he plays tough but is not a niggly/aggressive player and in the context of what is a dubious at best red card and the fact he served most of the game some pragmatism could reasaonably be expected. So given it's the RFL I expect him to be missing until March.

Hopefully Watts will get sending off sufficient given the fact we lost the match, but I'd be surprised!

Re: Wakey : Sun Sep 10, 2017 10:24 am  

Watts will get at least 2 games.

I don't think he will. The concensus from ex players and refs is that it was a really harsh decision, and these are the people that make up the panel. I think he will get SOS.

Thats what it should be but 2/3 matches is what i expect.
Whatever the ban Hull should appeal

Keep saying Connor and Tuimavave are by far our best centres.
Griffin will get 2 game ban.
I hope Carlos is fit as Michaels will slot back onto the wing but Last said two weeks in his pre Wigan game interview and Radford said should be back for Wakefield so we have to wait.
Masi again showed us his improvement and added a couple of offloads to his game so with Watts likely to be missing he should get another outing with the same bench.
