I see your point. And I'm not against it at all. Jowitt is excellent under the high ball.
I pick Grix for the defence management. We'll need to be on it to beat Hull.

It's nice to have the problem


The key thing in the game is for us to stick to it no matter what the score.
I can see Hull scoring points early and setting us back but I think they'll get tired before us and we need to be patient.
If Miller was fit this one would be great for him to come off the bench.

Jowitt surely 1st name on the team sheet.

I wouldn't go that far but Grix is on thin ice after last week - we owe him that much after a great season up until then - but another stinker like Salford could be almost career ending it was that bad. Really don't know what's gone wrong.

I think that currently, IF both players were at the top of their game, Grix would get the nod but, with Grix looking so uncertain, dealing with kicks, at Salford, Max has to get the spot.

IIRC, he only made one error against Salford in the league game and he had 2 assists (one was to set up the game breaking try) and he has to be in.

Jowitt
BJB
Arundel
Lyne
MCB
Williams
Finn

England
Wood
Hirst
Ashurst
Batchelor
Arona

Tupou
Annakin
Walker
Huby

That's what I'd go with leaving Grix and Sio out...still not the worst 17 considering injuries...can do a job with the extra 3 days...on paper we've a fair bit to find...we need to get in their faces from the off though and I think we've half a chance!

Thought Sneyd was out for 6 weeks?

Agree with starting team, but would have Grix on the bench instead of Walker. Give us some cover in the backs.

Sneyd in squad for Trinity game, very strong squad announced, will be more or less same team that played Cas with the addition of Sneyd back.[list[/list:u Shaul[list[/list:uFonua[list[/list:uTuimauvave[list[/list:uGriffin [list[/list:ustTalanoa[/list[listKelly[/list:u[listSneyd[/list:u[listTaylor[/list:u[listHoughton[/list:u[listWatts[/list:uMinichiello[listConnor[/list:u[listThompson[list[/list:uWashbrook[list[/list:uMichaels[list[/list:uManu[/list:u[listBowden[/list:u[listTurgut[/list:u[listFash[/list:u

The forwards have try and match the home pack, or we'll be on the back foot and a hammering.

I'd hope Trinity go with..

1. Jowitt
2. Caron-Brown
3. Arundel
4. Lynne
5. Jones-Bishop
6. Williams
7. Finn
8. England
9. Wood
10. Huby
11. Ashurst (move him to 9 when resting Wood)
12. Batchelor
13. Arona

Subs.
14. Hirst
15. Walker
16. Annakin
17. Crowther

Bill in the centre and Arundel on bench for me. Crowther isn't in the 19??

Arona

Walker / Anakin depending on fitness

Decent enough team there, as long as we don't concede lots early, the bench is good enough to take advantage of some bodies that played in searing heat, drunk some ale and had 3 days less rest.

Why no Kirmond is he still injured

Why no Kirmond is he still injured

Tough game for us short turnaround and although we can be great like the last few games, we can also be awful like the devious 3 games, although we had a few really key players out in those games.

Even with the players you have out, you are still not easy to beat.

Important game for us with three tough away games after this and we still need 2/3 wins to finish in the top 8 to get that extra home game at the split.

I would agree with that squad. not that different to the one that went to salford and got a result. Grix was awful last week both in attack and defence so absolutely right to give young Jowitt a shot. I dont agree with this idea of selecting players out of position.

It still looks a good team but perhaps like last week we may just lack physicality against another very big team.

Crowthers not named in the squad.

Apologies...think should play fit players so Sio in at 17 for me rather than Tupou who only a few days ago was quoted as saying he doesn't know when he will be fit again due to a hamstring injury.

Sio isn't fit, playing with painkilling injections apparently.

I'd go with:

Max Jowitt
Mason Caton-Brown
Reece Lyne
Joe Arundel
Ben Jones-Bishop
Sam Williams
Liam Finn
Anthony England
Kyle Wood
Craig Huby
Matty Ashurst
James Batchelor
Tinirau Arona

Scott Grix - Gives us cover all across the back line
Keegan Hirst
Adam Walker - Providing he is fit, which I don't reckon he was last week.
Chris Annakin

To miss out:
Mikey Sio - Been playing injured and injected up for a while
Bill Tupou - the fact that he pulled out after the warm up last week makes him too big a risk for me

Knee cartilage tear, having a minor op, out for about a month, as I understand it.

Kirmond 4-6 weeks Chester just said...Fifita maybe two weeks off and Miller back for super 8's...if we can just get through these next few weeks and scrape a win or two we could be near full strength at just the right time to give it a good go!

Same here! Difficult match we need the fittest squad playing, Grix can cover hooker or backs.

Will be listening tonight on the radio via bbc sports app (assuming its on there as normally). I think it will be a close game and hopeful of a victory. However, I feel the game is on a knife edge and could quite easily end up in a comfortable win for either side, given the hot/ cold nature of Hull FC's performances this year and our woeful performance last week against Salford, against both sides ability to score points and tries from distance.

Going for a Wakefield win by 14

Hull at full strength and with Kelly on form are a great team, we have to hope that they are a little jaded after beating Cas.
If we had close to our first 17, I would be saying a close game but, FC by 12-16 points

Max and Sio miss out on the 17.
