So all the players you said we would name we haven't and all your players that were out are suddenly in surprise surprise

I think you are very naive to believe either squads.

I was hoping to see a debut for Scott but if Logan and Yeaman are fit then we will have to wait.

I wasn't aware you could name a 19 man squad and change it at the last min? We're not gonna see McGuire running our 10mins before the game ..

It happens most weeks

I'm at a loss why hull have named such a strong squad,could have rested a few ha!

… but maybe Scruton.

How many times have we seen players that weren't named in the initial 19 take to the field on game day? Until the 17 is announced before the match you never know for sure who's playing half the time.

Even without the likes of Kelly, Sneyd, Tuli, Carlos, Bowden, Fash etc we still look to have a half decent side out and as always with these games its difficult to predict as form etc goes out the window and even more so this weekend with both teams suffering from a large number of injury problems.

Forwards are fine but the backs are a disaster. No half backs, no wingers and only 1 centre

i think if we start with Harris and Miloudi at half back it gives us better options at centre using Connor and Griffin.
If its not working we can revert to Connor at half back and move Miloudi to the wing and bring Yeaman off the bench.
Looks like we will have the slowest back line ever to grace Super League

… so Harris, Miloudi, Connor, Griffin, Shaul, Scott, Logan are in "the slowest back line ever to grace Super League"??

I've seen most of those guys go the length if the field. Except Griffin who can only go 95 metres.

How can you say we have no half backs when we clearly have two in Harris and Miloudi, a pair who have worked together, frankly it's a no brainer to play them there together. Are they going to set the world on fire, maybe not but they have experience and know each others game. I'd also rather have Connor and Griffin in the centres all things considered (putting Hadley there was a big mistake before).
Get the ball to a guy with pace and an inch of space and they are a winger, you know what the score is, I'm plenty sure whoever is out there will dot down a couple of time if we spray it about a bit.
I think you're being far too pessimistic, as I said previously I reckon we'll do them by two scores but now actually thinking we'll beat them by more.

Keep Connor in the halves. Gunna need him on the ball as much as possible.

Shaul
Logan
Griffin
Yeaman (would prefer Scott myself)
Miloudi
Connor
Harris

Wrong....

Get him warmed up that pack of yours looks weak and threadbare. Clearly an under strength easily bullied decimated bunch of second raters.
You should get the local safeguarding services involved never mind getting Ellis ready.

Logan wont make it.
If Miloudi and Harris start at Half back the back line could be Connor,Griffin,Scott and possibly a forward or yeaman
That backline has no pace

[size=200"YEAMO, YEAMO, YEAMO!"[/size

You mean not as speedy as the fastest in the league, binman isn't exactly quick off the mark and we've hardly relied on outright speed in the backs, well since a long time ago so it really isn't an issue.
And with all due respect to the dobbins their full strength team isn't close to a top 4 team and they have around as many out as us so that supposed lack of pace really is neither here nor there. We play to our strengths with the team we have, don't dick around and we win by at least 2 scores.

People have said Miloudi and Harris have been training in halves this week. If there's any truth in that I'd guess a backline of:

Shaul
Scott
Connor
Yeamo
Griffin

Griffin on wing doesn't really make sense to me but - who else?

harris and miloudi have played about 3 SL games between them so how can they be experienced? Playing a few 3rd tier games together is hardly preparing them for steering around a SL team in a fierce derby game

How many games has Connor played with either, NONE, how do you know Connor is a better halfback than Miloudi, you don't.
Each time Miloudi has played with Harris Donny have racked up a hatfull.
Miloudi serves us better in the halves where he is used to playing and is a direct replacement for Kelly in style of play, Connor serves us better in the centres along with Griffin, it isn't rocket science it's logic based on players playing in their best positions that they are more used to playing.

I'm with you on this. I'd like to see Miloudi and Harris start in the halves and Connor at centre. It would massively strengthen our backline. I like the thought of Connor going up against that Rovers winger who only made his debut last week (Griffin would also cause the lad plenty of problems).
If things aren't going well we can always swap Miloudi and Connor around, but that's the way I'd like to see things start.
