I hope that Last has learnt from the Wigan cup game and starts with a strong side, personally I'd move Carlos to 6 and start with Houghton and Sao.

thats why i would leave jake at FB, let his attacking input be more clinical out wide (extra ball handler) where grubs like hill cant distract his focus

I think against Wigan in the cup, we started incredibly with Brad Fash & Massi up front, don’t think Massi has played since.

What do people think to the use of props?
I watched Taylor last game who looked shattered which is understandable after so long out. I think it'd be a lot more effective starting Bowden and Sao, bringing Satae and Taylor off the bench.

I always wonder if we d be better starting Sao and Satae to gain early field position too.

Can never make my mind up lol

That’s because either way you perm those four, you’ve a good chance of it working, Tag should be better for that last outing, and with being omitted from Wanes squad, he’ll just be going for it. In an ideal world I’d have Jones on the bench as well.

Warrington missing there big Tongan prop can't write his name asalafifo or sumn haha

Lineham missing too

Last wont change much as it seems to be working.
Just a shame he will have to move Connor to six to accommodate Griffin at full back.
Seems to like Fash on the bench so cant see a place for Jones or Lane

There’s a few permutations, but keep Connor at fullback he’s been sensational, and I don’t think Lasty will move him.

Id go with:

Conner
Faraimo
Tuimavave
Griffin
Naulago
McNamara
Sneyd
Taylor
Johnstone
Bowden
Ma'u
Savelio
Cator

Houghton
Satae
Sao
Fonua

Well, i'm a neutral but could see that team beating Warrington.

Should be a great game lads, but just to let you know last time we steam rolled you we were without Hughes, hill, Clark and akoula. The battle of the forwards will be the key factor to winning the game on Thursday imo.

.... Akauola not playing this time either.

Neither is Cooper

Cooper is a big miss for us, our best forward this season I hope that I'm wrong but I can see you edging it

I agree Mike Cooper has been outstanding, big loss.

Anyone like this model

1) Connor

2) Rats

3) Jones



4) Griff

5) Bureta

6) Los

7) Sam Sneyd



Tag

9) Jonno

10) Bowden

11) Manu

12) Sav

13) Joe

Bench

Big Chris

Ligi

Danny

Mahe

Out of the two I'd sooner be missing Hill who has something of (United's) Phil Jones about him. Still looking forward to the game plenty of matchwinners in both teams

If both teams are at their best, Warrington win it for me, Your favourites for a reason, but think Hull are very confident.

Swap Jones and Mahe

Agree, this would be my team too. Everyone playing in their position, with good options off the bench.

HDM goes with
Predicted Hull FC team: Jake Connor; Bureta Faraimo, Josh Griffin, Carlos Tuimavave, Ratu Naulago; Ben McNamara, Marc Sneyd; Scott Taylor, Jordan Johnstone, Josh Bowden; Manu Ma’u, Andre Savelio; Joe Cator

Bench: Danny Houghton, Chris Satae, Ligi Sao, Brad Fash.

Both games are definitely on this week, no covid issues.

Hope we go with tuime at 6 . Mac has done OK but tuime can do just as much and is a better defender. Plus fonua at centre gives us a powerful 3/4 line. Also if Jones is fit surely he offers more of the bench than fash does.

I'd also be very reluctant to start with BMac.

I fancy us to take this game, 22-12. Fingers crossed
