I wonder if Agar threw as many eggs as he could into the Challenge Cup basket and we're now going to end up playing weaker squads for weeks. Is Yeamo fully fit?

another case of mind games with yeamo????did it with long last week and he's still out!!!

I'm starting to think Agar has contributed to burning Fitz out. The guy should have been given the night off against Salford but wasn't, and now seems to be struggling for fitness.

Tansey
Whiting
Hall
Yeaman
Briscoe
Turner
Horne
O'Meley
Houghton
Cusack
Manu
Burnett
Washbrook
Subs
Moa
Lauaki
McShane
Dowes
Nicklas and Cunningham to miss out but would love to see Nicklas at 7, Horne at 6, Turner at 3 and Hall left out personally, but if Yeaman is injured put Hall in left centre.

big sam might just get a runout now

How the hell has Yeaman managed to get fit enough? He was helped off with a suspected broken leg 4 days ago! Yeah, I know that it isn't broken, but I doubt that it's totally fine.

Hold on - getting carried away there

Should we manage to score any tries, then (I think) we would need Hall to convert them.

If O'Meley had the rib cartlidge injury that was reported then I'd be astounded if he was fit in a 6 days.

Whiting

Same goes for Yeaman. I doubt he'd be totally fit in 6 days, too.

With no Radford or Fitz does that mean we may actually have a loose man on friday????????

He said convert not miss all of them

Hasn't been too great at the kicking. I'd give it to Hall myself, then Whiting. Apparently McShane can kick goals, too, so maybe him as a third choice?
Tbh, I reckon Agar will stick with Whiting, though.

And if we don't score in front of the sticks?

You can't really criticise Fitz, can you? He's been great so far this season.

OK then, Dowes.

what about giving the young halfback a chance????

Not criticising Fitz at all, just we haven't seen a proper loose forward at hull for soo long. Not that Washy is great but at least it gives him a chance to show what he can do in the position.

I would be tempted to have him on the bench and give him a run out if we have the game won/lost.

For me:

Tansey
Hall (goal-kicker)
Whiting
Yeaman (if fit, if not, Turner)
Briscoe
Turner (if Yeaman not fit, Nicklas)
Horne
O'Meley (if fit, if not Dowes)
Houghton
Cusack
Manu
Burnett
Washbrook

Moa
Dowes (if O'meley not fit, Cunningham)
McShane
Lauaki (as a prop if O'meley not fit, Cunningham as 2nd row)


Though I'm tempted for a centre/wing-combo of:

Whiting
Turner
Hall
Briscoe

if yeaman isn't fit.

would like to see whiting at loose,but i think it will be washy.turner will be at 4 or 6 depending on yeamo,with the young lad,playing at 6/7 if turner has to play in the centres.

Tbh, if Yeaman isn't fit, we all know that Agar will go with Turner in the centres and a Horne/Washbrook halfback pairing. I mean, why would he change what's working so well?
