I wonder whether Peter Gentle will select a team for Sunday, with the following week's game @ the back of his mind or, pick what he believes is his strongest team [ that is available & after Sunday's match then turn his thoughts to the match in France ?

Dont want any cash.
Just pm-ed you Dave. Let me know if u have it tomorrow morning.

Got to pick his strongest sides for both games, the risk of losing 2 games (and making it 5 in a row) would be massive risk to his career at Hull

I am of that opinion/

Because he was worse than Arundel the week before?

Our left sided defence is, on paper, very strong. While our right is quite weak.
As most clubs attack down their left why don't we shuffle our defence around a bit? Serious question, any ideas?

How can you move Crooks ?

would Yeaman/ Arundel have scored those trys ?

Arundel is a right centre and except for the Leeds / Widnes games
where he defended outside Seymour his tackling stats are good

Yeaman is a good defender is it time to move him to the right and
play Crooks on the left, which should be his best side ( attacking)
but our left has had no service all season.

I don't know how easy it is to swap sides but I swap Ellis to the right. We have a young right hand side and with his experience it might help.

we have ferres wardle and murphy on the left - thats been our biggest attacking side this season, we have lawrence cudjoe and mcgilvray on our right - lawrence and cudjoe have awesome defence - and mcgilvray and leroy know their way to the try line - pick your poison.

I mean in defence and i mean halves and back rowers.

Ben crooks out with ankle injury apparently...

Crooks out, will reduce our chance, who will score our try's?

More to the point who is going to create the chances for us to score tries.

Squad: Arundel, Briscoe, Ellis, Galea, Green, Heremaia, Houghton, Johnson, Lineham, Lynch, Miller, McDonnell, O'Meley, Pitts, Tickle, Watts, Westerman, Whiting, Yeaman

Would go with:

McDonnell
Lineham
Arundel
Yeaman
Briscoe
Hereamia
Miller
O'Meley
Houghton
Green
Ellis
Tickle
Whiting

Subs:
Johnson
Pitts
Lynch
Westerman/Watts

Crookes isnt in the 19 hullfc.com/article/29883/two-cha ... ants-visit I've got a feeling Gentle might go with Galea at stand off

Thought he had a spell there on monday and hes always shoehorned into the side.Tickle has to start from the off too

Been told holdsworth could be gone for the season

Looks like Horne and Miller for the rest of the season then

Gonna be a long afternoon on Sunday I fear.

Briscoe was abysmal against Wakefield,Crookes should be in -IMO

don't be daft! this is HullFC we can't have a half back combination that plays more than 2 games in a row together!

hi wizeb, have you still got them tickets?

Apologies mate but Dave bagged them.

My mistake should have put month.....maybe
