I was hearing some bad things about the queues at the ticket office if it gets busy so good advice from acko there I drove in and got some from our shop today and there was a brisk trade would not be surprised to see 1500 from Hull there.

Online it asks for away fans to go in the Western terrace... Please excuse my ignorance, but is that the one behind the sticks or along the side?

It's down the side where Karen goes and can't see

ELLIS AND MINICHIELLO BACK FOR WAKEFIELD TRIP

Hull FC captain Gareth Ellis and fellow back-rower Mark Minichiello have both been named in the Black and Whites’ squad for Sunday’s away fixture against Wakefield Wildcats.

Both players have missed the Airlie Birds’ last two Super League games through injury but have been included for this week’s trip to Wakefield, kick-off 3pm.

Another senior squad member, Leon Pryce, is expected to return after a spell on the side-line with a knee injury.

Steve Michaels and Josh Bowden miss out.

HULL FC: Ellis, Fonua, Green, Hadley, Houghton, Manu, Minichiello, Naughton, Paleaaesina, Pritchard, Pryce, Shaul, Sneyd, Talanoa, Taylor, Thompson, Washbrook, Watts, Yeaman.

Tickets and travel are still available for the game, with over 1100 tickets already sold by Hull FC.

Tough on both Michaels and Bowden, if they are fit, can only presume they are not.

Chris Chester has named his 19-man squad to face Hull FC at Belle Vue this Sunday, kick-off 3pm.

Five changes have been made to the side that beat Sheffield Eagles 44-10 in the Challenge Cup on Friday, with Captain Danny Kirmond, Reece Lyne, Jonny Molloy, Scott Moore and Nick Scruton all returning having sat out the cup win.

Scott Anderson, Stuart Howarth, Jason Walton and Andy Yates are the men who drop out of the 19-man squad, along with centre Joe Arundel, who has been ruled out for around a month with a knee injury.

The 19-man squad is named below:

^^^THIS^^^

Unless Radford feels they need a bit of a rest after the run of games from Easter and maybe carrying knocks that now Talanoa, Ellis & Minichello are fit that he can now rest Michaels and Bowden?


I'd go with

Shaul
Talanoa
Fonua
Yeaman
Naughton
Pryce
Sneyd
Watts
Houghton
Taylor
Mini
Ellis
Manu

Green
Hadley
Pritchard
Washbrook

We have complained at times that we run people to a standstill and fade at the end of the year - Bowden has had a great start, and now Ellis and Mini are back it may lead to a bit more rotation of our pack.

Agree think he's trying to freshen everyone up and some players will have niggles so he's resting them

No excuses for this one. We have a strong squad and a good performance will see us take the 2 points. Anything less than that and we'll lose. This is exactly the type of game against which we can measure improvement in the team performance and attitude.

Michaels I'm not surprised at as radford likes him but bowden is in great form so surely we've not dropped him

.... hard forward battle against Cats next week, Bowden will benefit from a weeks rest.
His stamina wasn't particularly good earlier in his career, and Watts and Taylor can probably play every week at the moment.
Everyone else has already missed a few games.

Well looking at your team sheet, I'd say that Tom Johnstone looks like a White filling in a mouthful of rotten teeth.

That's exactly the attitude that will see us lose tomorrow. For a start; Jowitt, Johnstone, Miller and Finn are all ones to watch, and that's just their 1-7.

wakey are playing really well as a team and only a good performance from us will see us take the points. If we lose they'll only be 2 points below us and we're getting dragged back into the chasing pack. 2 really important games coming up which could define our season

Well, now you've finally found somewhere to shoehorn that expression into, perhaps you can be a bit more objective.

That back line of ours is rapid, our forwards are big (admittedly not as big as the FC pack) Finn is directing them round well and Miller is bang in form at the moment with his running game.

Think you're in for a rude awakening personally, but should be a cracking game.

Big game for us. Wakey will fancy this. But if we bring our A game we should be oj

Ok

What, a confident attitude?

I don't know too much about Jowitt, but beside's Johnstone, the rest of the team are just other clubs rejects.
