why not put horne at 6 put him on the wing to replace sharp and put hobst at 6 and long at 7 job done hat do you think about that

Why not put Horne on the wing to replace Sharp? Thus, enabling us to use Obst at 6 with Long at 7. What do you think to that?


Translation, I think.

thanks for that i must of had a hard day

rather have whiting on the wing and why not use the hull derby thread?

Better still put Whiting on the wing outside of Gleeson
Agar could start with Longy and Sam and use Horne has an interchange
So if thing are not going to plan he could then change things round

Putting Whiting on the wing is absolutely ridiculous, he has absolutely no pace meaning out right hand side is ineffective.
This is not because i don't rate Whiting, infact he's one of my favourite players as you can see from my use name! It's just he is definitely NOT a winger

Rovers are going to bomb the wings That what Whiting can handle

I wouldnt say it was ridiculous,its the safe option defensive wise but yeah hes not a winger and i wouldnt be expecting him to score any length of the field trys in the game! !

whiting isnt a winger but this game is massive and sharp is obviously lacking confidence and making errors whiting on the wing for me

Without Dobson, Rovers cannot bomb the wings, they've been kicking out on the full all season. It'll be the centres catching most of the balls on Friday!! Get Sharp and Briscoe on the wings and hammer them with pace!! Gleeson is THE key man on Friday...

Dobson has got till 1400 on Thursday ,Till that time he still has a chance of playing ..If he doesn't make it then change things

Im looking forward to seeing him in a hull shirt and think hes a great signing but it might take him abit of time to settle in..we shouldnt expect too much too early...but do agree he will be the key to strengthening our right side.

Westerman the only fitness doubt - Obst should pass the head test.

Good news if obst is fit...does westerman still have a chance of playing or has he been ruled out?

tbh i woudnt play westy if he is 50 50, manu and tickle starting in backrow with tuner and lauaki rotating

Sounded doubtful - bruising come out but will be very touch and go. Although he was at a signing event today I think - anyone go and ask him?

I saw him when I went to pick my lad up. Didn't have any strapping on the ankle at all

I would be tempted to put Whiting to fb,and Phelps on the wing.Neither sharp or lyne will be risked,or so you would think.

id like to see....

1.phelps
2.turner
3.gleeson
4.yeaman
5.briscoe
6.obst
7.long
8.omeley
9.houghton
10.moa
11.manu
12.tickle
13.fitzgibbon

14.horne
15.radford
16.lauaki
17.dowes

19.whiting

Whiting would be a safe option on the wing but gleeson will strengthen that side up and turner will add more pace....obst and long to start will give us more direction from the start and horne can come off the bench to spell houghton or go to 6 letting obst spell him....moa to start to get into them from the off..i think we have to start strong in this game and dont need to be chasing..

He wont be playing and neither will radders.

What's up with Radford? Seriously no point in "saving" players for Monday.

If that's true, what's the betting the back 3 of the pack will all be expected to play the full 80? Or maybe Washbrook on the bench to play the last 8 minutes. Then they'll all be pooped for Monday.

Injured.

Who cares, as much chance of winning there as plaiting fog. Their bruising Good Friday derby is against Salford and they back up at home. Play the U20s on Monday for me and keep target a good performance against Saints instead.

if radders is out thats a blow!

Surely it will mean washbrook coming in on the bench...not many options really.
