**oops

I think he is doing well in his very short spell he plays, he runs hard and make a break on Sunday (more than any other forward managed) he looked around to pass and not suprisingly there was no Hull player in site.

He does however need to play more, now I'm not sure whether that is down to his fitness or Agar.

He is doing well but you can only afford to have him on the bench if your not gonna use all your interchanges !!!!!

I agree he has gone reasonably well. In fact if we all think back this is how Willie Manu started with us. Sam needs more game time, he doesnt look as if he CAN'T play longer its he isn't allowed to by interchanges

after well over 35 years of watching MOST Hulls matches home and away i think i am allowed my own opinion

no one has to agree with it, but thats the team i would like to see play at the moment

And you expect two half backs who have never played together to gel just like that and be a success!

35 years and you are still clueless, are you on the board by any chance?

so slag him/her for picking a team and giving reasons for the selection. I've checked the thread and can't find your selection. so as you are so intelligent and are NOT clueless........put your team up and say why its the team you'd pick on friday please.

I await to be educated by your superior intellect

Here's my team from "changes for Friday " thread

Enough is enough for me. lets have 2 different half backs cos the two we have had all season aint doing their job and earning their monies (which we pay )

1 R Horne (potentially best full back in country, not living up to expectations as a half back)
2 M Calderwood
3 G Horne
4 K Yeaman
5 T Briscoe
6 R Whiting (give him chance to see if he can do better than Thorman and Horne)
7 T Lee ( give him a chance cos at least he plays with desire and passion to have a go and at least try to earn his money)
8 E Dowes
9 S Berrigan
10 J Thackarey
11 L Radford
12 D Tickle
13 D Washbrook

14 W Manu ( ffs give the man a rest to be more of a handful when he gets on. jesus you dont buy a rolls royce and go scrabbling in it do you? )
15 P Cusack ( to spell Dowes)
16 P King ( to spell Thackaray)
17 C Hall (Utility players to fill whatever gaps appear)

RESTED
Moa to get him fit by playing full games in reserves
DROPPED
Thorman cos he's like curry. only worth paying for if its hot and he ain't

I'd have Radford swapping left and right sides to spell Tickle and Manu as long as one of those two were always on pitch if not both.

may be drastic changing both half backs but we got everything to gain by finding two players that can do the job

8 games and no signs of the present 2 been good enough

1. R. Horne
2. Calderwood
3. G. Horne
4. Yeaman
5. Briscoe
6. Whiting
7. Thorman
8. Dowes
9. Berrigan
10. Cusack
11. Radford
12. Tickle
13. Washbrook

14. Thackray
15. King
16. Manu
17. Houghton

Manu needs spelling so we have more impact from him. Thackray needs to come in for some impact too. Hall just won't cut it at full back and will get battered by the Rovers kickers on Friday. Whiting deserves a shot in the team, either at 6 or 13.

How would you cover the backs in case of an injury? Thats why i went for Hall on the bench

how many aussie ocker's in the team

Have people who are putting Lee at SH, never seen him play, he is awful there, thorman is far better at HB.

Lee has shown over the last couple of season that his best position is hooker, keep him there or not play him.

Anyone questioning Agar and then picking Thorman at fb and Lee at sh are clearly insane

just cos someone don't agree with you why does that make them insane?

if everyone had same ideas and views life would be very boring and we'd never make any progress in anything in life

I've looked at peoples teams and some fascinating ideas. I've got Manu on bench but like the views of people who'd start him but give him rest (i've thought about this) give him short break in middle of each half could be of benefit. If you don't take notice of others you won't learn as quick and you can always learn something even off the biggest ( in your opinion) idiot around. especially if they say don't cross the road there's a bus coming

Its not cos someone disagrees with him, its cos a team in SL has always looked even worse than weve been looking if they put Thorman at 1 and Lee at 7. Neither player has ever had a good game in those positions.

I agree about Thorman at full back. watching him last year at hudderrsfield he looked scared to catch a high ball, can't tackle. Not impressed either with him at half back either. We desperately need a half back that grabs the game by scruff of neck and dictates our play.

I don't mind Tommy Lee at Scrum half, though it seems like they are moulding him into a loose forward or hooker as opposed to half back.

Even though he makes errors which he gets slaughtered for, he makes errors cos he's trying. I'd rather he did that then not try and make no errors cos he'd be no value to the team. He does get involved and look to dictate. Not the best but better than what we have in my opinion.

Plus i'd love to see Rich Horne at full back, i beleieve he'd be sensational and best in country.

If you're going to do that, put Hall in the centre and drop G Horne to the bench and he can cover back row and threequarters

There will be a certain Mr Crocker there tomorrow.

Announcement must be pretty close now.

Expect news in the next 48 hours

Yeah the news that we will find out the outcome in the next fornight!

All will be revealed.

Seen him with my own eyes

i have seen him plenty of times as well just not in Hull.

through a computer screen yes.

Thing is, so have I.

In Hull today
