Hope Walker gets a chance as he has really impressed in pre season games. From listening to Chester, Allgood has not recovered from concussion that occurred in Cas game.

Strong squad, I think Crowther and maybe Walker to miss out for mine.

This would be my team

I am not sure about 13.
I like Arona for his size and his work rate but Crowther has shown up well in preseason and I have always liked Sio.
Sio doesn't get the hooker spot over Finn, so he is limited to 13 for me in this game.

Anakin has proved he has impact potential whereas Crowther is worthy of long minutes so it's not a straight swap there. Arona would take that place on the bench if not Annakin

And I think Walker has played into a position. He doesn't look fashionable but if he is playing well, then he should be picked.

I'd play Walker as he's a real mud plugger.

I wouldn't play Miller as I've never seen him do well in these condition it just doesn't suit his off the cuff style. I'd play Sio with Wood and keep Finn and Williams on.

Looks like your Anakin fantasy is still a goer

If I'm not missing anything there are 4 out and out props in there so they all have to play. From that squad I'd have to leave out Annakin and one of Sio or Jordan unfortunately

Like Mable says, there's only 4 out and out Props playing so Walker has to play.

Well Hull are apparently a half back down which is good news for us as Kelly tore us apart at BV last year.

He did but that was a lovely summers evening Sunday will be for players with ticker I'm hoping

Kelly is playing isn't he?

According to a few posters on your site Dave they've heard he's done his ACL in.

Fafita is in squad to play Swinton for dewsbury

Odd... how can he be in 2 squads at once!?

They might have fafita in there squad but we have fifita in ours haha

[list[/list:u
Arnt both Kelly and Ellis named in the Hull squad? They both destroy us each time we play them.

rumours going around that Ellis has a back injury and Kelly has a knee injury. I wouldn't read too much into these rumours though, let's just see who gets picked on Sunday. The wakey 19 looks decent, hard to choose who wouldn't make the cut

Yep, just what I read on their site with Kelly and Ellis has a bad back. Don't know if their injuries are true or not.

I haven't seen it to be honest, probably jealous Rovers fans starting rumours, happened a few times last season with Sneyd.

Thought that you'd kissed & made up with the Robins, now that you dont play in the smae league

Back to the match. Cold, wet and a little windy. Not a day to throw the ball about. Let's see how good the forwards are as that's where it will be won today.

The weather is a bit of a leveller, it's all about who controls the ball the best along with a good kicking game. Here's hoping .

Simply due to conditions today this would be my 17:

Grix
Johnstone
Tupou
Lyne
BJB
Finn
Williams
England
Sio
Huby
Ashurst
Kirmond
Arona

Wood
Fifita
Walker
Annakin

--------
Miller
Crowther (Be happy for him to be on bench a close call)

Think this team will play the conditions better

At last!!!

Miller is a total waste in these conditions IMHO he simply can't function at all. Don't get me wrong I love his off the cuff style of play but it's all ducking and diving stuff where as today they will be luck to just stand up.

Finn is made for this kind of game and Williams looks far more adaptable. Miller is a potent attacking player from April onwards IMHO and nothing wrong with that.

Think your forwards are better, as much as I hate to say it, Wakefield by 8+
