I'd personally always play pryce at 6 above Carlos. I like Carlos but he is quite intermittent.

atm both are hit and miss, I think he will play carlos and have pryce green Bowden Pritchard on the bench

Why do we always go for 4 forwards on the bench??

How about replacing one of the props on the bench with Carlos, he can then give say Yeamo and/or Leon a breather.

tried that last week legends,bought the pass,but my NOW tv is run through my BT tv service,and they don`t recognise the SKY sports pass.got my money back though.cheers legend.

Pritchard has to start again for me. He is similar to Willie Manu in that I always felt he struggled to get in to a game when coming off the bench and is very capable of playing the 80 if needed.

I'd leave Carlos where he is. It's his position to lose at the minute and I don't feel he deserves to lose it based on the last month. Pryce has been suspect defensively all year and whilst I'm not laying the blame at his door, it's probably no coincidence that in the 20 minutes he was on the pitch against Cas, they breached our right edge twice to go over in the corner. With him on the bench you're essentially covering stand off and centre rotations which is unnecessary, especially against a huge French pack so he misses out of my 17. Washbrook has the utility value already.

Green has played very well recently and gets the nod over Thompson. His contact in defence can be very iffy which would worry me against Taylor, Bousquet, Casty etc.

Spot on!!

Personally I think Pryce raises his game against his former clubs. For this I would want him involved at some point. Given that Catalans have a seriously big pack, I'd have 4 forwards on the bench as well.

For whatever reason our right edge looks frail in D when Pryce is there,or certainly in the last few months

Anybody think he may go for Naughton over Michaels?

not a chance

Quite possibly. It's hard to split the pair, Naughton hasn't done an awful lot wrong all season.

I think Michaels will get the nod .

Agreed. In terms of Catalans, last week:
"Dave Taylor and Justin Horo will miss the trip and join Paul Aiton, Louis Anderson, Vincent Duport, Greg Mounis, Richie Myler, Krisnan Inu, Willie Mason and Olivier Elima on the club injury list."
Apparently Taylor hasn't trained but Mason, Horo and Myler will be back? Not sure about the others, most long term I think. Gigot could have a ban too.

Got our tickets today can't wait we need to raise the roof and make it a cauldron of noise just like it was at Saints and the boys will do the rest COYH

Gigot gets a 1 match ban.

Pretty strong performance from them at wire with 10 front line players out. They would have won if pelissier hadn't gone in high and late on gidley after that kick

Correct. Excellent squad.

Pryce back to 6, with possibly Carlos on the bench. Still think Carlos is more suited to centre, several coaches moved him away from that position in oz despite his early junior International representation there and Radford clearly saw him as a centre with possibility to cover for 6.
Whilst giving him a go there isn't a bad idea I don't think he's shown enough to say yup, that's the 6 jersey sorted for next year and be confident about it. It's not that he'd do a terrible job but his worth in the centres is more, but then it's not like we have a dearth of centres for next year which kind of decrees what route Radford is going, missing out on an experienced 6 for next year certainly has changed hings.

Sat is going to be very close, we've been getting off the hook and winning ugly a bit the last few games and some mistakes creeping in, some 'injured' Catalans players will be taking the field for sure so they are going to field a strong side and there certainly isn't much in the teams. It really depends which FC side turns up because Carney will hammer us if we don't switch on.

In playing in the NRL for 2 clubs after his stellar junior career Tuimavave found stiff competition at 6. Moving up at the Warriors he had Chad Townsend and James Maloney and at Newcastle Jarrad Mullen and Kurt Gidley. At Newcastle he was unsuccessfully tried as a centre where he was targeted in defense. He also played at fullback in the reserves but was mostly picked at 6.

I believe he came to Hull predominantly to play at 6 as a replacement for Pryce next season.

Be a tough game, hopefully we'll come out with the win and a Semi Final at Doncater or Huddersfield...

Radford clearly stated that Carlos will be stand off next season, in his aftermatch interview, listening in the car, sat in Cas car park till 18-00, Sunday. I've SEEN and heard enough to say "yup, that's the six jersey, sorted". FC will be more clinical come Saturday, a la Saints, a win all the way to Wembley for me. With the players coming in next season, back line will be sorted with cover in all positions.

I've not viewed anything much other than the score from sunday and a couple of posts here, so that confirms really what we already knew. He certainly has the talent, maybe that we've not being at our best for a few games that I haven't felt 100% confident he's our man but then that's the route we are going so I'm okay with that. The proof will be in the pudding as they say.
I hope your prediction that we get back to playing better than we have in an all guns blazing performance comes true, we'll need it against Cats. I'll be in the city but can't attend as have something more important to attend to, I'll have to wait until it comes out on FC live to watch and won't even get the score until late afternoon.

I see Wigan's Ben Flower pleaded guilty to a grade C dangerous throw, which was downgraded to grade B with a 1 match ban.
He then appealed, and it was downgraded to grade A and the ban was lifted.

No way is that true. Our disciplinary process would be an absolute laughing stock if it were
