This is a RFL issue, they issit that you name a squad 48 hours before the game, when all clubs including Wakey leave it until the last minute to do fitness years, Hull could have said nothing and just named the team an hour before kick off claiming injuries, so if anything they are being honest.

I still have you as favourites as we are awful away from home, we have only beat Rovers and Widnes away.

Who you have beaten away from home is irrelevant, this has a nasty smell about it and surely, wholesale changes are the very reason why the 19 man squad system was introduced.
There seems little point in announcing a squad that changes by more than 25% only 24 hours before the game.

I dont know if Hull have broken any rules here but, they have driven a bus through the whole squad announcement system.

we made a load of changes for the easter monday game v wakey after naming a stronger squad before hand, did you complain then? same v warrington in 2016 and leigh in 2017
no because it was weaker on paper, now its the other way you complain! cant have it both ways

stupid rule, but if minichello and miloudi have genuine knocks, we can bring in replacements

what's all the fuss about players being named, hull are above us for a reason just lets get on with it

It is relevant if we are taking about who is favourite for game.

Loads of teams for this for the reasons mentioned abocmve, you are just crying about it as you have got yourself in a mess.

Like to say there's a massive difference between changing significantly a 19 man squad 24 hours before a game then rotating at Easter.

If you are allowed to make so many changes to the originally announced squad, why didn’t Hull name the four they have now included in yesterday’s squad and then replaced them today if they weren’t deemed fit after the captains run. That way no one would be calling foul.

There is no way the four who have dropped out are all injured and 2 of the four that have gone in today will have to play tomorrow unless yet further changes are made

no there isnt, its just the same, the day before, or even on the morning of the game players have dropped out

Lets just get stuck in tommorow!
Performance of the season required, straight from the kick off, forwards running hard, making good metres without silly errors and some inventive/creative play from the halves (why do we not kick over top, with such pace in centres/wingers ala Johnstone against Catalan!)
Its our game to lose, but being Wakefield, owt is possible

Come on Trinity!!

I agree with you Snowie. We've played players who weren't originally named in the squad so why the big deal. I get that we are all a bit 'twitchy' but if we're as good as we think we are we'll beat them with or without the players added to the squad.

Best of luck Wakey .

We will have assumed that Hull will play their strongest team and we should be ready to compete against whoever fills the shirts. We wouldn’t be happy if they had played an intentional weakened team against any of the clubs around us. We all know that the squad named does not always equate to the 17 that actually play.

A quick glance at the league table should do the trick.

If the team can't get motivated for tomorrow then there is no hope and we deserve the middle 8s, because it's highly unlikely we'll beat Huddersfield next week.

All goes with the smoke and mirrors stuff.
If ‘The Four Miracles’ have been training then you would expect somebody to know somebody and CC will be aware of it.

If we believe the bookies are always in the know they have not twiitched yet on 6 hour old news. Hull still available at over 2/1. Just make tomorrow the fortress and beat whatever is in front of us, I am confident cc expected a few changes and as some have alluded to we have pulled this a few times ourselves, Fifita vs Cas.

One player wouldn't make a difference, or as big a difference as a quarter of a team!

Granted, but they are still weakened. Can Sneyd be 100% if he turns out etc. Regardless it is up to us, this is a better chance than next week. See you all tomorrow.

Just as I said smoke and mirrors ,do they really think we’re that dumb.

Spot on pal like us Radford will put out his best available 17, they're his players to pick and choose from injured or not, and baring in mind that 4th spot will virtually be beyond them if they lose today it's understandable him risking players. It's just as important a game for them as it is us for different reasons, can't understand the uproar over a bit of gamesmanship at best.

Match day! Whatever team Hull put out, the job is exactly the same for us. COME ON TRINITY

Is anyone else worried that CC will take this prematch chess game one step too far and slot Finny into the 19.

Whilst yes the reasons are different, IMHO I don't think this game is at all as important for them.

Yes they want to make the top four but us having chased the top four last year it feels a lot worse and tense this year with the fear of dropping into a relegation dog fight. FC can fight another day for 8 more rounds, we could be out of it by next weekend. All my opinion of course but whilst this is a big game for them it is massive for us.

Couldn't agree more with what you say, but that's not the real issue, Hull aren't here in SL just to make up the numbers as their recruitment will testify, Radford will be under pressure to produce and doing us a favour by saving his players for the run in won't help if they are so far behind the top 4 that the play off's are meaningless, maybe they were always going to play or maybe he's taking a massive gamble in which case I'd like to think he's more worried about us than we are of them.

Totally agree

Shaul, Sneyd and Westerman all play. Green misses out.

We have established that changing 1 player is ok and 4 is too many. Where do you all stand on 3?
