| At least we've been sensible with the Shaul loan deal.

| I wouldn't play Lovodua at Centre. Jeez. Put players in their normal positions.
The wingers should be Martin and Barron
The centres should be Mitch and Wynne
Smith or Litten at Full back, Smith/Macca & Gale in the halves

Johnstone will play, not dropped him with much strong squads than this.

I agree with you, but the issue is, what is Lovoduas position?

He can go for me. With Dwyer due to happen and Houghton with another year, be isn't going to be a 9, and he is ineffective elsewhere

Hooker and if he doesn’t want to play there then leave him out.
Let’s stop messing about and show some authority.

I see what you are saying, but to be fair to him, he hasn't had a good run in any position.

| For me I'd like to see
Litten
Barron
Wynne
Mitch
Martin
Smith
Gale
Sao
Lovodua
Taylor/Satae
Lane/Longstaff
Ma'u
Fash
Satae/Taylor
Laidlaw
Longstaff/Lane
Balmforth
But you just know that won't happen and it'll most likely be Houghton starting at 9 and going 80mins yet again along with Johnstone in the 17.

| Lowest squad number is 7
Not an easy selection. Doesn't seem to be an awful lot of scope for dropping players.
Outside backs seems to be a choice between 2 academy players or 1 and someone out of position.

Exactly what I’d like to see to at least create some interest.
Otherwise I just can’t be bothered.

I think Ben Mac has played there on occasion so if we push the definition of hooker there is potential for what, 6?
Houghton
Johnstone
Balmforth
Lovodua
Smith
Ben Mac

What positions does he want a good run in?
He’s a hooker.
Showed some decent form at half back but we have specialist players for those positions.
He isn’t a centre or a second rower

Brian Smith was a great Coach and the best that I have seen at Hull in turning around and improving the team. He helped turn average club players like Andy Dannatt and Paul Eastwood into Interationals.
Any good Coach, in any era, should be able to improve the existing squad and then further enhance it with player transfers.

| I'm quite tempted to not decide if to go or not until the team is announced.
I'd really like to see Martin get a run, reminds me of Briscoe, super strong for his age.
Kye Armstrong a very good player too, but maybe a little early for him.
Biggest deciding factor could be if JJ plays, just can't see what he brings, he is leaving, play Balmforth or another young kid.

Only Danny is allowed to do any passing from dummy half though

It has come from a couple of posters who are are usually more reliable than others when it comes to rumours but yes I find it hard to believe.
Going by the Dan Tomlinson article If indeed he hasn't yet signed a contract I would use his quota spot to sign a specialist hooker to compliment Dwyer. Assuming Houghton is not here next season.

I’m guessing that it’s Houghton and Dwyer next year.

I know the posters, they are mates with certain players, won't have a word said against them, easy to find on twitter or Facebook. I believe they have an agenda.
Saying that it's strange he has hardly played 9, but that could be just down to Hodgson, as he does are alot of strange decisions.
