Ashurst

Riley and Howarth missing out.

Pack looks a bit lightweight to me but we'll see how they go.

Hull squad

Abdull, Bowden, Green, Hadley, Houghton, Lineham, Logan, Michaels, Naughton, Paea, Pryce, Rankin, Sa, Shaul, Sneyd, Talanoa, Thompson, Watts, Westerman.

I'd rest Owen and McShane.

Yeaman and Ellis are missing from the 17 with Lineham, Logan, Pryce and Sneyd added to the 19.

They are going to be a tired set of forwards on Sunday. I hope we can wear them out.

So Vasty you would rest our best outside back and our most creative player. Which ever way you look at it that squad is going to have to play like they did for the second half last Wednesday for a full 80 mins to have any chance at all. Did Lyne get injured. I would go with :

Tansey

Owen
Arundeal
Ashurst
Rley

Godinet
Howarth

Simon
MacShane
Anakin
Ali
Smith D
Sio

Kavanagh
Walker
Crowther
Jowitt

Miller and Jonston to miss out ie the two worst defenders. We will need our best defenders on the pitch, we cannot compete on size, lets hope for another hot day. Think Pryce will make a big difference to the Hull team. Tansey or Howarth to kick penalties

Your having a laff

Has there been any form of announcement on Craig Hall?

I know he is seriously lacking any heart, but is he officially injured or what?

I was lead to believe he was signing for a Championship team, but nothing seems to have come of it unless i have missed something??

Cant see Snith putting Howarth in the halves, I think he will stick with Godinet & Miller.
Also Ashurst at centre ?

He may well give young Jowitt a run and Ashurst on the bench ?

Would like to see Jowitt given a run, but not sure he will.......

Owen
Riley
Arundel
Tansey
Johnstone
Godinet
Miller
Simon
McShane
Kavanagh
Ashurst
D Smith
Howarth

Sio
Annakin
Lauiititi
Walker

What's up with ya.



i'd rest Owen because I think we need him for bigger games than this - wouldn't you agree?

Your squad is a bit strange apart from Ashurst in the Centres which is plain weird - are you sure about that on

Why no Locke?

I would imagine he isn't match fit for two games in 5 days.

Also he pulled his back - not serious but needs resting.

We don't need to win this game as I don't think we can overhaul Salford - not sure what difference it would make if we did?

Yep, being rested, that's all.

No Scott Anderson again, is his injury more serious than first thought?

If "pulled his back" is the same as being kneed in the back in a very late challenge which the "ref" chose to ignore then you are right on this one.

The difference is we would play Championship 1 & 3 and SL 12 at home and SL 9,10 & C2 & C4 away instead of SL9 and C2 & C4 at home with SL 10 & SL11 and C! & C3 away.

i was thinking this about anderson (and ali until today).

anderson was "supposed" to be ok for the next game after his concussion - not played since.

+ any news on lengths of injuries for tim smith and locke?

I think there are a couple who are carrying "other" knocks than has been stated.
Kirmond, T Smith & Anderson i am told have been playing while carrying knocks & niggles for most of the season. Why bother playing them now and risking it? We need to make sure they are ready for the business end of the season.

It will be like getting new players in in some cases

Think it may be starting with 9 sets of fresh legs in the 19.

Heard Godinet out 4 weeks, knee. Kirmond shoulder op Monday.

Losing Godinet would be bad.

Always expected a Hull win, but seeing the squad put out, Christ! Tansey and Miller halfbacks.

Where have you seen that?

Just seen the squad on Twitter, seems a strange team, are we resting players so BS can see who our better players are, can see a kicking here.
