Surprised the Thread not started such is the enthusiasm at the moment
For me a tricky match and yes they have beaten Saints and almost toppled the SLs high achievers - KR

With a likely inexperienced 7 and 6 I think we will
win 1-12 points max

Connor
MacIntosh
Carlos
Wynne
Shaul
Lover
Macca/Hookem/Mint
Sao
Mint/JJ
Evans
Ma'u
Lane
Fash
Subs
Brown
Satae
Taylor
JJ/Scott

If Macca not fit I'd play Hookem but think Hodgo will go with Mint.

Be classic Hull to play two hookers at halfback.

I'd hope those days are over.

Hodgson admitted last season that he should have played more.

Perfect game for him to start his first game.

Hookem will play, why disrupt the hooking department further when you've got a good young prospect ready to play.

Houghton passed his HIA.

Re: Toulose next : Tue Apr 26, 2022 12:44 pm  

Wonder if Corey Norman will play?

Re: Toulose next : Tue Apr 26, 2022 1:07 pm  

Norman is waiting on his visa. Hopefully it takes a little longer. He's come up with a few clutch plays in the NRL.

A Gigot/Norman partnership will be interesting to watch. Not much control but plenty of flair.

The longer this week goes on the more it feels like a potential banana skin. Question marks over Wynne and McNamara.

I'm sure I'd heard BH say after the game that Sao may have an issue with his AC joint.

No disrespect but they're bottom of the table for a reason. They've just been beaten by the worst Leeds team in donkey's years so we shouldn't be seeing things that aren't there. We've just had a great performance against one of the best teams in the league so we just need to play OUR game and the points should be ours.

Re: Toulose next : Tue Apr 26, 2022 1:43 pm  

It is a definite banana skin game for us, if I remember rightly the last time we played a newly promoted team at home (Leigh) they beat us, and it was their only away win of the season!

Re: Toulose next : Tue Apr 26, 2022 1:47 pm  

Do what we did against Catalan and we’ll be fine. Get our forwards running hard and straight, kick for territory, and points will come. Without recognised halves we have to win by brute force.
