Apart from Hull's poor current form there is the danger that Cats have been saving themselves for this and basically threw Friday's game - which would have been difficult for them even at full strength.

This certainly isn't an easy fixture and I'd ignore Friday. Bird back and new coach.

What was their excuse for all their other terrible performances lately?

Not making excuses but all were away fixtures apart from a narrow loss to the whinos at home. Home game before that they thrashed Salford. They are a different proposition at home plus they have got rid of a hopeless coach. Certainly not a fixture for Hull to get complacent about, they will need to be near their best to win it.

Well, if they're all fit I'd go:
Shaul
Talanoa
Turgut
Tuimavave
Michaels
Connor
Kelly
Watts
Houghton
Green
Manu
Minichiello
Ellis

Bowden
Washbrook
Fash
Griffin

Griffin's best games have been off the bench IMO.

Best games?
Even though Griffin is poop in view of our injuries i would play him on the wing alongside Tuimavave and move Michaels to centre.
Turgut is better cover for Mini and Manu is as we know carrying an ankle injury.
Alternatively try Griffin in the second row he really cant be any worse.
I think we signed the wrong Griffin

He was signed as your replacement for Yeaman, you needed someone new to repeatedly moan about.

Re: Catalans : Sun May 28, 2017 4:02 pm  

I'd play Griffin at centre, give him one more chance.

I dont sign the clubs players.The signing of Griffin will go down as one of the worst.
If you cant see he is not anywhere near a top centre then you are watching the wrong game.
He is big guy,but not fast enough,doesnt break tackles for someone of his size and as we all know cant tackle to save his life.
At least Yeaman for all his faults could tackle for most part of his game

Re: Catalans : Sun May 28, 2017 5:45 pm  

cats away is rarely easy,unfortunatly apart from the odd game,our home form is just not good enough,with 4 defeats at home already,it puts more pressure on hull to win away.
