Some people did, but he came to hull with an excellent recent injury record, also when he signed we had Watts, Green out injured for a period of time.

Anyway he is out for 3-4 weeks.

They're moving the cricket scoreboard in, as it can take 3 digits, just in case

Not sure I'd pick Crooks to go up against Ryan Hall Doc (unless you've got a bet on Leeds

).

Not sure I'd put Colbon against him either to be honest!

Wouldn't put him against Brisco either personally.

I'm hearing that there might be a debut on the wing for Callum Lancaster tonight.

Doesn't get much tougher than playing against Hall or Briscoe.

Yer all over Twitter wishing him all the best for making his sl debut tonight

Good luck to him if true. As you say, going to be tough against Hall or Briscoe.

He can't be any worse then the wingers we have had for the last few weeks and I am all for giving the young kids a chance at the top level. One thing for sure is if Callum gets a scoring chance, he has pace to burn.

Lancaster was not in the under 19s last night so could be a good shout tbh

Why isnt Shaul or Horne on the wing for tonight's game??

Hearing Sa is playing back row, surprised Green isnt in the squad, I've heard he is fit.

Horne and Shaul aren't wingers, so shouldn't play there.

Received a text this morning about lancaster playing, looking at Twiiter now, it looks like my source was correct.

Big ask for a 17 year old.

Agree about Green

It COULD destroy the kid playing against Briscoe/Hall

Horne has played for GB before, surely couldnt hurt playing there for 1 game? hasnt Shaul played there before?

So who is missing and why?

Sa will start on the bench

A few injuries, I think this might be the team.

Shaul
Colbon
Talanoa/Crooks
Yeaman
Lancaster
Rankin
Miller
Paea
Houghton
Bowden
Ellis
Hadley
Westy

Heremia
Sa
Feka
Watts

It won't "destroy" him, don't exaggerate.

What's wrong with Thompson?

We shoudl avoid at all costs playing people of of position, if we have a player in our academy who our coach thinks is ready then we should play him, Leeds, Saints and Wigan wouldn't hesitate.

I have to agree with the other ComeonyouHull, I doubt even if he has a bad game it would destroy him, everyone knows he is playign against one of the best wingers in the league.

I remember Yeaman getting run ragged by Glesson when he first came on the scene, didn't do him any harm, in fact it could motivate him.

Talanoa out

No it won't destroy him. It won't do him any harm at all. No-one expects anything from him so there is no pressure on him. He can only benefiit from the experience.

How old were Horne and Yeaman when they made their first team debuts?

Lancaster deffo playing.

Sa to play 2nd row.

So much for bringing in a new centre...

Drop Rankin, put Azza to half back. Horney on the bench to cover the back line which has questionmarks all over it.

I'm assuming he'll play centre when he's up to speed.
His fitness and skills won't be 100% so better to put him in the 2nd row to begin with while he's getting back up to speed and can be brought off less disruptively. I very much doubt he'll be able to do a full 80 mins atm.
