Quote Mild Rover="Mild Rover"To a degree, yes, of course.
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 do agree with most of that. Hull are in a bit of a no win situation. Win by 30 and we get laughed at. Win by 100 and nobody cares because it's just an amateur team. No injuries is really what I'm bothered about today. As for a prediction, I'm going something like 90-6. But it depends how hard we go at it and how long our first choice forwards are on the pitch.
