Is Watkins definitely out?

Probably two weeks today. Wakey vs Saints finish the regular season next Sunday so expect the fixtures to be sorted in the following 48 hours.

No I wouldn't. I was just making the point that he and Ablett will definitely start. However, I would drop Ablett. I didn't see the Salford game but he had a shocker against Saints. But I think Mac will go with Ward at centre until Sutty/Keinhorst are ready, meaning the back row picks itself regardless of form.

Failed the head test didn't he during your game against Salford, which dictates, he cannot play this week (unless you were playing the Sunday)

Golding
Briscoe
Moon
Hall
Mcguire
Galloway
Parcell
Cuthbertson
JJB
Ablett
Ward
Singleton
Garbutt
Keinhorst
Mullally
Ormondroyd
Baldwinson
Lilley
Walker

Albert Kelly out injured for Hull

Is Gareth Ellis still injured?

Yes although i have a feeling radford is just keeping ellis wrapped up for the semi final and certain super 8 games

As for Kelly I think most fc fans knew he wouldn't play tomorrow night after watching him limp off last Friday even though he was named in the 18

McDermott confirms Golding chances are slim and implies that Keinhorst will be in the second row due to injuries l so expect:

Walker
Briscoe Ward Moon Hall
Mcguire Lilley
Galloway Parcell Singleton
JJB Ablett
Cuthbertson

Ormondroyd Mullally Garbutt Keinhorst

Sounded more like Keinhorst would be starting from what McDermott said.

Walker
Briscoe
Ward
Keinhorst
Hall
McGuire
Moon
Galloway
Parcell
Singleton
JJB
Ablett
Cuthbertson

Lilley
Mullally
Garbutt
Ormondroyd/Baldwinson

I would go with that line up too.

One issue if that is the lineup will be a goal kicker whilst Lilley is on the bench. Did people say Walker is a goal kicker?

I think Lilley will start in the halves with Mcguire tomorrow and Moon going back to the centre to start with and Keinhorst on the bench and possibly take Lilley off or Parcell and move Moon to halves, it just seems like something Mcdermott would do.

Won't need a goal-kicker, it's only Hull.

In light of this week's announcement it would be nice for the player who has International two pointers to his name to finally knock one or two over for his only club side.

Ward can kick

I think Moon can goal kick and I'm sure Keinhorst took a few when on Dual reg a few years back.

Is it 2 attempts he's had at goal kicks for us? I know of at least one (the 70-0 win against Wigan in 2005).

Albeit for England, I recall him kicking at Brisbane and being hauled off after his first kick for it being woeful.

According to my records that one at the end of the 2005 Wigan game was his first attempt - shocker from in front. Had another miss V London at Headingley that season and his last attempt was another Headingley miss this time V Castleford in 2006. Shunned it ever since - would be nice for him to knock at least one over to add to his 5 drop goals and couple of tries.

Could always make it whoever scores the try has to take the kick and sit back and watch as Garbutt or Galloway open the scoring.

South Stand sold out again, seems the old girl is going out in style.

Playing the biggest team in the league and we have two halves on the bench... why do we have to make it hard for ourselves!

only one guy picks the team pal. walker probably won't get a run anyway

So much negativity all year long yet finish 2nd before the Super 8s & SF of cup.
Most posters on here know feckk all & talk shiiiite most of the time
