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?

I Know that is meant tongue in cheek but the scary thing is it could well be how he looks at it

I've heard that Agar picks his formations from this forum, so watch what you say

And i thought he used a pin and a blindfold (This also doubles as the acupuncture treatment we now administer to players) and when it comes to players to drop he has a hat with Moa/Washy/Turner/Burnett in and the first two he pulls out get dropped

all these names in braille so he can pick out sam's name 1st every time

After seeing the squad :

1 Tansey
2 Whiting
3 Hall
4 Yeaman (if not fit then Turner to right centre and Nicklas to stand off)
5 T. Briscoe
6 Turner
7 Horne

8 Dowes
9 Houghton
10 O'Meley (if not fit then Cusack to starting prop, Lauaki to interchange prop and Cunningham to interchange second row)
11 Burnett
12 Manu
13 Washbrook

14 McShane
15 Laukai
16 Cusack
17 Moa

I'll give him an hint then:-

1.dowes
2.radford
3.lauaki
4.manu
5.cusack
6.o'meley
7.burnett
8.moa
9.Houghton
10.Tickle
11.Kent
12.Whiting
13.Fitz

6 drives! Sod the kick!

Damn right, don't think there'd be any difference in how we play to be honest.

Lets hope we've registered Cunningham & Nicklas then, knowing our track record !!

Is Kent banned then??

I see that great minds think alike.

ideally would like to rest those that are injured or with niggles where possible anyway.

My team

Tansey
Whiting
Turner
Hall
Briscoe
Horne
Nicklas
Cusack
Houghton
O'Meley
Manu
Burnett
Washbrook

Moa
Lauaki
Mcshane
Dowes

if O'Meley is unable to play then put dowes on to start, have Moa and Lauaki as interchange props and put cunningham on bench to cover second row.

Would also rest yeaman as our most senior 3/4 we need him fit and if he is carrying an injury/niggle we should rest him.
