Quote ="The Dentist Wilf"Mr Gleeson might be back! www.newsnow.co.uk/A/770451941?-4338:2393'" I thought that there full wages go on the cap if they play. That'll bust the cap you'd have thought.

Try looking at the previous post.

As if. Operating within the cap has hasn't exactly been an issue with Salford up to now.

Abdull, Cunningham, Houghton, Howarth, Lineham, Michaels, Minichiello, Paleaaesina, Pryce, Rankin, Sa, Sneyd, Shaul, Talanoa, Thompson, Tyson-Wilson, Watts, Whiting, Yeaman

18 Mason Caton-Brown, 19 Niall Evalds, 14 Theo Fages, 26 Carl Forste,r 30 Matthew Gee, 34 Oliver Gildart, 15 Darrell Griffin, 25 George Griffin, 35 James Greenwood, 11 Harrison Hansen, 5 Greg Johnson, 2 Ben Jones-Bishop, 32 Ryan Lannon, 1 Kevin Locke, 10 Lama Tasi, 16 Scott Taylor, 17 Jordan Walne, 20 Adam Walne, 22 Jay Walton

That adds up to 4 players not in their current 29 man squad.

Good to see Radford has dropped the players mentioned last week.

How Michaels and Yeaman get a game before Naughton is unbelievable.

This would be my team from that squad, but it wont be.

Shaul
Micheals
Talanoa
Rankin
Lineham
Pryce
Sneyd
Watts
Cunningham
BTW
Mini
Sa
Abdul

Houghton
Thomspon
Feka
Whiting (Good to have him back)

Junior Sa'u, Josh Griffin, Michael Dobson, Tommy Lee, Liam Hood, Wayne Godwin, Adrian Morley and Luke Menzies still missing through injury.

I wouldn't expect all of BJB, Kevin Locke, Jay Walton, Adam Walne and Jordan Walne to play either as all are not 100% and have/are under going late fitness tests today and tomorrow.

Which leaves Rangi Chase, Weller Hauraki and Cory Paterson missing through suspension whilst Jon Ford and Brad England are on loan and cannot be recalled to assist.

No recognisable stand-off or hooker named in our 19 man squad.

Make that 3 players, as their squad numbers actually go up to 31.

They go up to 35 (James Greenwoods number).

Was thinking the same thing Dave. And this is just one of the many reasons we as a club are failing and the fans are getting so despondent. He suggested that six or seven players didn't perform last week but he only makes four changes?!

Would just like to point out as well that three of the changes are for injuries/suspensions and the only player dropped is Naughton who didn't even play last week.

Only two changes out of the 17 who played last week both enforced.

I'd given up checking by then .... make that 2 players!

Looking at the squad, I'm not convince that I will go on Friday even though I have a pass.

You can't moan about the players then pick them the week after.

"For sure. The blokes'll have trained the (sniff) house down. 100 percent."

Michaels deserves his spot. Yeaman does not.

Still havent forgot about the arrest warrant, so no he does not until his name is officially clear. IMO of course

Where is Ellis? Wasn't he a possible for Sheffield?

You might be right, but there are 4 players who weren't in last weeks squad and at least 7 players are unavailable, so that doesn't leave many more to choose from.

Yeaman should be dropped and why the club signed Michaels ill never know as he is very average and not all that fast.
Why include Rankin if he is not going to play?Radford already said in his last interview including Rankin on the bench was a waste of a bench spot.
Curtis Naughton did nothing wrong gets dropped and Radford makes three positional changes to include the carthorse Yeaman.
Radford is clueless

Naughton? Looks a good prospect, signed a one year deal didn't he, he plays very well in all of his games (all of which we won) and then for no reason gets dropped for Radford's favourites. I wouldn't be suprised if we lose him to another club and wouldn't blame him TBH.

Also I'd have you over Howarth in the squad, there must an under 19's player better than him, who would love to be called up.

Agree with you and others that this is kind of indicative of our problems. Selection just doesn't seem to be driven by performance. What reason do players have to perform at Hull? If you're an established player you'll play regardless, if you're a fringe player you'll perpetually used as a stopgap and little more. We're reliant on players' personal pride and competitiveness, but the last few years have shown us that we can't count it.

I wouldn't disagree about Naughton, but if Sa is going back to centre then he would probably drop out of the 19 anyway.
I always assume that Howarth would always drop out of the 19, but he's played plenty at loose forward, so that, unfortunately, is probably why he's been getting picked.

The U19's could be called on surely?

Exactly right. Not claiming he's a world-beater, but he's come in and played well, and as you say we won every game. Dropping him for someone who has been underperforming for a while just sends out completely the wrong message.

If Howath is holding back a u19 player then AP and LR should hang their heads in shame
