Could be in the squad just for settling in reasons, travelling on the coach with the lads, getting to know match day routine and sampling a friday night game with the sky cameras about. Also post match routine.

Cant see you guys losing this one.

On the basis of what? Huddersfield have made a strong start and have home advantage and a good pack. Words of such confidence have a habit of coming back and causing embarrassment. On that note, remember your prediction of Rovers "rattling up a cricket score" (or words to that effect) against Wakefield.

griffin and crabtree out.

At this stage Agar isn’t committing himself and said: “We will have a look at Huddersfield, and we will look at what may or may not be needed against them.

cant see moa playing.

As Sheldon has pointed out they are missing 2 key forwards who have been in good form, not so sure if they have alot of strength in depth in their forwards. The Hull forwards have started the season off well(so we hear)and thats really why I am predicting a Hull win.

I dont think my KR v Wakey prediction will be far off and I did state we would win at Saints

Hope that your are right.
Think you will win quite well against wakey. Good side they are, but probably shot with injuries for this game. I hope that I am wrong in that prediction!

Good for you. I'd be delighted with a win given we've got 6 out through injury and are really stretched in the backs. Wouldn't like to call it though.

I can't pick a winner for our game yet, will be very tight either way.

if Hudds are missing a couple of props then i would play Moa.

Why??

Surely it would be better to play Maloney under those circumstances.

Because im more anxious to see Moa play than Maloney

Purely for selfish reasons

Trouble is, if he has a bad game then everyone will be slating him calling him Hutch 2 which would be massively unfair.

Fair enough



I personally would like to see clubs giving British talent more of a chance when the circumstances arise, this being one of them.

The difference being that the club have not really increased our expectations of him. Hutch was said to be "awesome" from kick offs etc.

I think Hull fans, or should I say hope Hull fans will understand his recent lack of game time, and look for little positives rather than expect the finished article on Friday

I'd like to see the club playing the best player avaialable. if that's Maloney then great, if not then Moa should get a chance. I don't think anyone could criticise the club for bringing young British talent through, but it has to be balanced for the good of the team.

Having said that, unless Moa is in tip top condition then I can't see the sense in playing him on Friday

Good to see 15 of the 19 are British

That'd be why, a few posts before yours, I said:

Hall
Calderwood
G. Horne
Yeaman
Briscoe
R. Horne
Thorman
Dowes
Berrigan
Cusack
Manu
Tickle
Radford

Moa
Thackray
Maloney
Washbrook

lee and houghton miss out

You want 2 props starting and 3 on the bench?

moa will play second row

Your so comical.

where will he play then joe

Isn't that just putting him in the side for the sake of it? We already have better options at second row.

If he plays, probably prop.

Because he's a prop.

That's where props play.
