It depends, as well, on whether you go with the strongest 17 from the 21. Rotating a middle of Ashworth, Aydin, Asiata, Fash and Salabio against amateurs would be absolutely crushing. It makes me think, on reflection, that 60 might be pessimistic from a Hull FC perspective.
30-40 is just setting expectations in the other direction. Unless you include all the kids with the higher-30s squad numbers named in the 21 and get a man sent off early, there’s about as much chance of it being only a 30-point margin as there is of me beating stockfish at chess.'"
I imagine most of the 1st teamers named in the squad will play, Asiata is starting and captaining the team but I can see him and Cust being withdrawn by half time. But as I said earlier I couldn't care less if we win by 10 pts or 100 as long as no one picks up any injuries especially with the extra travel time to get to Catalans.
