After 3 rounds only Wigan and cas look to be top of the pile and of the rest there doesn't look a lot between them with most probably being in with a shout of top 8 or bottom 4. Injuries will play a big part IMO. As for the 11 missing for hudds, who are the 11 who wouldn't be in the team if everyone was Fit? It seems to be vogue to count any and every injury whilst lining up excuses

Who are these fans, care to quote any of them.

Plus you are going over the top as Brieley, Brough, your front row, Hinchclffe, Wakeman and Clough would all be in your 17, Smith, Roberts and Ormsby have also played a few games.

Pretty full strength against Salford at home, what was the excuse for that one.

1. Jake Mamo
2. Jermaine McGilvarry
3. Leroy Cudjoe
4. Lee Gaskell
5. Aaron Murphy = ALL our back 5 missing

11. Tom Symonds
12. Dale Ferguson
13. Michael Lawrence = ALL our starting back row missing

17. Ukuama Taai = Our starting prop
31. Adam O Brien

9 players who would 100% be in the team if fit and 10 if O Brien played....

Sam Wood, Gene Ormsby, Mikey Wood, Tyler Dickinson, Darnell McIntosh, Nathan Mason, Daniel Smith would not be in the team id those players were fit full stop.

Personally, I dont think players such as Murphy and Ferguson are a miss but thats still 7 first team regulars


No excuses against Salford we were just crap that day and deserved to lose like you did against Catalans!

My point is you can take nothing from that game you did a job against what will be the most depleted team that anyone will face in SL this season.

as a hull fan, i dont really care how many you had out, or who was out, i still feel we would have beaten you even if you were stronger, mainly due to the disappointment of the catalan game, ateod we came and did a job, as i said to other hull fans around us, it was the extra pre season game we needed but never got for our halves and others who were a bit rusty to blow away any cobwebs

We'd have beat them if all those players were playing. Hudds are e and are of little consequence to those clubs wanting to really challenge.
After a few years of over achievement, last year and this they have a squad more in-keeping with their fan base. Terrible.

Who cares?

We won and got two competition points which is all I'm bothered about. I couldn't care less who you had missing.

exactly, dont recall many giants fans offering us sympathy after our cup defeat when we had majority of our team out in 2012!

Has he actually played for you yet?

If you sign an injured player you can't really moan that he is out due to err injury.
