Should be watching the game inside the big house. Mind you, the hospitality in the Roger stand is on a par with Hedon Road

I cant see Agar dropping G Horne, so if Yeaman is fit I would expect Hall to miss out, which is shocking IMO.

Hope I am wrong.

Sorry, it wasnt hard to wind me up, suppose it is derby week

Kosh...Agar and cunning plan do not fit well together!

I dont get the whiting isnt strong enough to play LF.

His defence is one of the best in the team and makes decent yards when going forward, Also has good hands and a decent kicking game.

I think he is better in all departments than Radford.

His defence has being quite suspect at times this season IMO, thinking Leeds away especially.

No worst than anyone else.

In fact all the player defence expect Lee and Cusack has been disapointting at times this year.

As i have said before i dont get the big thing about people saying Lee's defence is really good.

He is a stone heavier than Washbrook and nobody doubts his defence.

That is so clearly the best 17 that we can put out. Radford would be nowhere near it for me but we don't really have much option. That 17 would have easily enough to beat a very ordinary dobbins side aslong as enough of them give a to$$ !!!!

That is the most annoying thing, on paper there is nothing wrong with that side.

Totally agree and people cant use the injury Excuse either........simple fact is some cant be ar$ed and Agar cant coach them.

I think it's a case of most are uninspired because Agar is caoch, I doubt he actually does much in terms of actual "coaching" though.

Any news on Yeaman?

Totally agree...on paper we can more than compete with any SL club.....alas the coaching / motivational and management side of things is another matter!

It started to wear thin months ago. The players who have stepped in have been playing SL for atleast 2 seasons.

Come on, some people are still blaming not getting Crocker!!!

Yep, he's not signing for you. He like to kiss the badge of Hull FC way too much

It might wearing thin for you but not for me because it is still affecting the team.

For example, look at the team listed above and tell me how many on the list have played for five consecutive games.

And how many of those injured players are going to come in and make a huge difference ??? Not many !!! Apart from a couple of missing players, we would be swapping like for like.

The squad that we have had on the pitch all season, with a coach who knows what he is doing, should be capable of a top 8 finish in the table but we a clearly a bottom four side, not only in results, but also in performance.

Injuries and visas haven't helped but all this blaming of injuries is not only wearing thin with me but it has become more than irritating to hear it.

Thank feck for that



I'm being serious though, any news?

Somewhere on another thread (I can't be bothered to go to the effort of researching it all again) I listed all of the players who were injured/retired etc this year. Since then R Horne, Thackray and now Yeaman are injured. It amounted to approximately (I can't remember exactly) 18 players injured and I think three or four of them (e.g. King) have been injured more than once. It has been impossible to consistently field a team made up of the same core ever (it would be interesting to see the 17 selected for each and every game). Very few of them (apart from Horne's injury against Leeds) kept them out for only one match. Add to that (yes you've guessed it) Crocker not being available (think no Morley for a full season - not necessarily a prop, but someone influential) and Lauaki (think no Carvell for every single game of the season to date) and yes it matters and yes it is still having an effect whether people choose to be bored by the fact or not. Finally, add Thorman to the list - he might as well be injured.

1 Tansey
2 Calderwood
3 Hall
4 Yeaman
5 Raynor
6 R. Horne
7 Berrigan

8 Radford
9 Lee
10 Cordoba
11 Burnett
12 Tickle
13 Whiting

14 Houghton
15 Manu
16 King
17 Moa


The ones in bold havent so that leaves 12 that have....your point now being?

I meant the last 5 consecutive games - you appear to have missed a few off.
