Huge game, win and we could be two points away from the top five, aswell as moving away from HKR and London at the bottom.

Martin Donaldson Smith/Peteru/Singleton/Lunt

I agree with your team, but the replacements, I would go with Martin, Donaldson, Peteru and Lunt if both fit.
Singleton needs a break, Smith simply hasn't progressed this year. He certainly in no reserve hooker and he is way down the list as a second row for next season.

Win this and we leave the relegation battle and join the play off race. Hull kr will be fighting for their lives, it should be tasty.

I’d be happy to run out with the same team as last night, but if Peteru and Lunt are fully fit they should come in for Singleton and Smith.

And we might get a Parcell type performance from Lunt against his former club.

Don’t agree with Singleton needing a rest but regarding smith spot on

I think a prop at loose forward suits us, so would go with Donaldson & Merrin in 2nd row, with Martin off bench. Drop Ferres, Smith & Luke Sutcliffe. Is Alex Sutcliffe fit? If so, he should be making the 19 instead of Golding.

Only change I'd make is Peteru for Smith.

Unless Lunt plays Smith will keep his spot as interchange hooker. That leaves 3 bench spots between Peteru, Singleton, Martin and Donaldson. Choice between Singleton and Peteru imo.

Thought Sutcliffe played pretty well against Cas I'd definitely keep him in back row. Tackled well and ran hard.

Why do people say every week that Ferres to be left out when he clearly wont be? He obviously does a better job for the team than given credit for.

You watch fans at a game and if Hurrell fir example knocks on nobody says anything but if Ferres does they go into a total meltdown. Just watch them. When opposition score 35m from where Ferres is its still his fault.

I thought him and Sutcliffe was pretty solid on Friday. Interesting that for a spell in the 2nd half Ferres was defending in the middle of the park so must've moved to prop or loose.

I will wager a 50p bet with anyone that Sutcliffe and Ferres will be the starting 2nd row on Fri subject to any injuries. Any takers?

It's more the silly penalties he gives away than the never going to happen offloads that annoy people with Ferres.

He will start with Sutcliffe, but neither offer anything in attack. Liam and Callum Smith both stop any momentum we build up. I hope all 3 are gone by the start of next season.

Not sure who Callum Smith is to be honest with you. Did he play in the game at HT?

Ferres is the new scapegoat, we always have at least one

Ferres a scapegoat?

Hence the Preview option I should've used!

luke sutcliffe to partner callum smith in the 2nd row

Erm sorry but the guy has stolen a wage, a big one at that, for 4 years with us. I for one defended him early on and thought he would get back to something like his England form but he has been mostly a liability.

I think the thing with Ferres is that he just doesn’t seem that bothered. When he makes a mistake or gives away a penalty he doesn’t bust a gut to make up for it. When you factor in what he’s likely to be paid, the whole thing represents very poor value for money.

The thing with ferres is he has never been the player for us he was at Hudds. We have never got to see the player we thought we were getting.

He is obviously doing something the coaches like but I don't know what it is.

Regardless he will play. It's as sure as death and taxes.

Think ferres is starting to perform really well in defence (stats would be interesting) which is key.. but still not the player he was in attack.

I would be very shocked if so, he has been turd for 2 years now (really not sour grapes), let's be fair father time has caught up with him, and to fight a disease like sepsis takes its toll on the strongest of anyone.
Was really surprised at the swap, as Lunt hasn't played much competitive rugby and when he did he looked like an old man, a shadow of himself, he was fantastic for us before he fell ill.

Wish the kid all the best, he is an honest kid who tries his best for his team

Singleton one match suspension. Straight swap for Peteru IMO

Or Oledzki?

What for? The fractionaly late hit that wasn't even a penalty?

Parcell went to get him off the overseas quota. Lunt can't really be viewed as being of the same standard.

If we can get him fit though, he'll be solid in defense and create the odd clean break. I'm glad to have him. If he can get some games under his belt, I think he'll earn a 1yr contract for next season.
