Houghton is also expected to return, but apart from that it is grim reading!

I wouldn't rush anyone back for the Catalans game.

If there's any knocks give them another week.

So summat like this then
Briscoe
Lineham
Whiting or Horne
Turner
Foster
McGoldrick
Seymour
Lynch
Heremaia
O'Meley
Manu
Kent or Whiting
Aspinwall
Subs
Houghton
Watts
Bowden
Green or Kent
Westerman will take the early gulity plea and one match. IMO. If Horney fit play him right centre Whiting in the 2nd Row and Kent on the bench, if not fit team above.

I can not see Horney playing centre! If he's fit he'll play FB I would have thought, with Briscoe back to the wing/centre. Still a good enough team to make a good go of it IMO. It's great how we've finally given our youth a chance and there is no qualms about putting them into the starting team. Finally!

If Crooks is indeed back for the Widnes game, personally I'd make this weekend Turner's farewell appearance.

Only if Yeaman's back,

Or even Horne. Would personally rather give Briscoe a couple of games at centre and let Lineham have more game time.

So would I.

1.Horne
2.Sharp
3.Whiting
4.Briscoe
5.Lineham

Crooks back in centre when he's back, Whiting returns to 13.

Why anyone would sign for Hull FC and risk their health and career is beyond me

Said in jest but I bet it's played a part in some players decisions to leave. If everything else is equal , ie pay , then regardless of the promises of change in the future they'll have heard it all before and no matter what we do we always get shed loads of injuries. Even if they're to team mates rather than the player considering their future it still affects their chances of winning things and the grass elsewhere probably looks a whole lot greener and safer!

Absolutely. Especially against a big Catalans pack.

Agreed, give some of the young guns a taste of the real stuff , must be a couple more we can draught in and tell em to play the game of their lives, its your big chance etc etc and see what happens, were gonna loose this one IMO so not worth risking anyone not required

Inspirational.

is it time for your jam meds yet

Please keep to topic.

I was told tonight Jay Pitts has not broken his collarbone, but it is still a bad injury, any news?

Yep was on Humberside no break but still out Sunday.

Cant Radford make a cameo again?

Good news. Green/Kent to take his place.

James Smailes ‏@James_Smailes
Team news from #hullfc Yeamo has slim chance of playing Sunday, Pitts the same. Crooks trained today, Horne expected back for Widnes

All good news.

great news for a change

Wouldn't play any of them! Whiting can cover Yeaman, Turner for Crooks, Pitts could be replaced by Bowden/Green and Briscoe will cover Horne.

And I know that barring Briscoe, all the other players who'll be covering positions are playing with injuries also



Fitness and conditioning needs a serious look at.

AP's interview stated our impact injuries are caused by a non investment in sports science

. Even HKR have a sports science dept.

He indicated,that he will address this urgently, it will be interesting to see how our youngsters progress when this is implemented.

is houghton carrying an injury, or just unlucky missing last weeks game?

Injured,no way he would be dropped on his current form.
