Can't see turner playing, maybe lauaki aswell

Horne & Long to miss out

Not what i'd go for but i believe RA will go with

Whiting
Sharp
Manu
Yeaman
Briscoe
Turner
Long
Shrek
Houghton
Radford
Tickle
Westerman
Fitz

Obst
Moa
Dowes
Hame

Horne and Washbrook to drop out.

Thats what i thought but Long is playing.

On paper that's a strong team...

Shame its not on the pitch.

Fair enough, I do not believe he was injured any-way, the club have wrapped him in cotton wool since he arrived, if he was slightly injured they would play Obst at 7.

Horney should be played in the 20s for a few weeks, no doubt Agar is playing his mind games with Brown

...bet he has Brown well rattled

since it's doubtful Agar will play westerman at 13, i'd be tempted to give him a go at 6

obst 7 or 9

IMO Turner and Obst in the halves won't be strong enough to play Hudds

Looked strong on paper for the last 2 games as well......

regarding Obst, i meant him at 7 or to give Houghton a breather at 9

i think Horne and Long should miss out if they are not 110% fit

Exactly , the coach is the problem.

Agree, but what strikes me most about it is that aside from the wingers there's a real lack of any pace.

Are they all fit or is it the sign of a man knowing no matter what the cost he needs a win?
No way should horne be straight back or is he one of the players that when fit cant be dropped or run in the u20's?

Just watched the preview stuff on Hull FC TV and according to the coach, he and the players believe that there's 'not too much that needs fixing up' in their performances. They just need to be 'more consistent' in certain areas. So let me get this right - we turn up for 15 minutes in Cardiff and get battered for the other 65. We then get completely bossed by a depleted Leeds side for 80 minutes, even though they ended up with only 14 fit men out of 17. That being the case, am I missing something when he says we're not doing too much wrong?????

My sentiments exactly - I think Agar probably knows he is under a great deal of pressure

On game 3 of the season I don't think we should be playing Horne & Long if there are any doubts about their fitness

has it been different recently???

You dare to doubt TBYBC?

No just made the point because that's pretty much our strongest 19 for once. Glad you can recognise the deficiencies in the squad Agar has put together

What doe TBYBC mean ?

I know now

Probably? I hope he does or he's even more useless than I thought!

If Horne and long fit :
Whiting
Sharp
Turner
Yeamo
Briscoe
Horne
Long
O meley
Houghton
Radford
Tickle
Fitz
Westerman

Moa
Manu
Lauaki
Obst

If longy isn't fit then obst to 7 and washy on the bench if neither of them are fit then I give up

I hope he gets sacked by Sunday night!

Would go with the same, Lauaki to come on at prop.
