Anyone travelling over?
Heard Obrien tell his family after the game he torn his calf so depending how bad will be put a while.
Feki said he hopes to be back next week.... if its true he may have to play centre over Fonua. Him or Blair anyway as I can see Fonua missing a few games.
Also heard Richardson may be back too.... if so he comes in straight swap for Obrien.
Would like to see Olpherts given a week off and try Eden or Q on the right.
I’d like to see Olpherts never play for Castleford again…
Eden left wing and QQ on the right, he has more than proven himself.
Olpherts is being caught out of position far too often.
I dont rate Olpherts at all but some of the times hes caught out of position are down to his centre getting drawn in slightly and the fact Olpherts has no trust in his centre making his tackle so gets drawn in himself.
I think QQ would also have this problem with the centre we have playing on the right atm although would have that extra bit of pace to help.
Think we will struggle in this one I'd maybe play JQ at full back put Rocky in halfs we 've got to try something different Olpherts needs droping I'd never play him again but there you go that's just me
If Hull had beaten the unwashed yesterday, i would not have been bothered if we lost to these next week, now it looks like it could almost be a must win.
Toulouse will fancy themselves after watching our 2nd half display
Jackknife bang on, our problems lie in the centres.
Olpherts is just as bad as the rest when defending and a little better than some of the big lads when returning the ball.
If only dropping Olpherts was the answer we would be laughing
While it's not a must win losing would start to drag us down in to a relegation battle. We should be using this match to get things back on track, something clearly isn't right at the moment and needs to be fixed sooner rather than later.
Tricky one this, every day of the week in spite of the changes in that we wont have been there before and the travel, we should win.
That being said, if we don't snuff out their belief quickly then it becomes a test of belief and our belief has been fragile.
One of those games where we can't win it in the first 10 minutes, but if they get a score and are even ahead we will go a long way to losing it.
We don't have the intensity or work rate as a team to stop what happened in the second half against Wigan it's as tho we know we won't get relegated but are no where near good enough to challange to get to Old Trafford
Hope the players are ready for a warm day too! Going to need to find the intensity as I'm sure Toulouse will be up for it.
Does anyone know when the team are travelling outand when they are returning? This decision could play a big part in the result
Last time I think they travelled privately? Wonder if they'll do that again. Hopefully they don't travel on game day, could do with a day at least to train in the warmer weather.
With a 3pm kick off you would think they will travel the day before and home straight after the game.
Hot day gunna be tough.
Honestly don't see us winning this. Can see Toulouse by a few.
Must win for us imo. Id take a 1 point win
20 man squad.
