Assuming we're missing Taylor, Manu, Bowden and Talanoa, I'd maybe go something like:

Shaul
Fonua
Connor
Tuimavave
Michaels
Kelly
Sneyd
Watts
Houghton
Green
Minichiello
Thompson
Washbrook

Ellis
Fash
Turgut
Griffin

Tempted to give Washbrook a rest mind. Put a huge shift in over recent weeks.

I think I would give Litten a run out. It wont be easy on Houghton to go from missing 6 games to playing 80. I'd ease him back in by giving Litten 10 or 15 minutes either side of half time. I dont think Widnes have the forward power to take advantage of him. I also would like to at least see how Griffin gets on on the wing. He is a stronger ball carrier than Michaels which is important when Talanoa is missing and so are a couple of first choice props. Also agree about maybe giving Washy a week off.

Shaul
Fonua
Connor
Tuimavave
Griffin
Kelly
Sneyd
Watts
Houghton
Green
Minichiello
Turgut
Ellis

Thompson
Fash
Litten
Downs

If Bowden is back (he shouldnt be far away) then he comes in for Downs.

I can see Griffin ending up on the wing for us. He's in the mould of how Radford likes his wingers.
If Manu if banned, will the international game count as one of those games?

Funny how quite a few on here weren't happy when you re-signed Washy.

Better than Howarth

I see Taylor hasn't been picked for the England game, so at least he should be ok for the cup game.

All 7 backs are uk based, 7 out of the next 10 players are aussie based.

i find the side very odd, Hardaker at Centre, No Percival or Taylor. 2 Aussies on the bench instead of Taylor and Walmsley

Ridiculous to drag players half way round the world then not play them.

www.hullfc.com/news/2017-05-05-h ... idnes-trip Squad named, no Ellis but our Man of Steel returns, this is how i would line up Shaul Fonua Connor Carlos Griffin/Michaels Kelly Sneyd Watts Houghton Green Mini Thompson Washbrook Bench: Bowden Massi Turgut Fash Didn't see the point in having Griffin on the bench last week when he just came on for what seemed like a cameo apperance. Came on and played the wing, which a fair few have suggest we try and, without sounding disrespectful, playing the bottom side in the league may be a good game to try that.

Start griffin on wing see how he goes. Washy on bench as he has put long stints in laterly start turgut second row

Shaul
Fonua
Connor
Carlos
Griffin
Kelly
Sneyd

Watts
Houghton
Green
Mini
Thompson
Turgut


Washbrook (maybe to give Houghton a rest for first game back)
Bowden
Massi
Fash

If Radford goes with either of the two 17's named above and puts Fash on the bench and starts Thompson, that's a massive kick in the nuts to Fash who's performed brilliantly the last few weeks. His stats vs Wire were great.

Does Griffin deserve to replace Michaels? My opinion No

my opinion also

why? He'll probably get the same amount of game time either way?

Shaul, Fonua, Connor, Tuimavave, Michaels, Kelly, Sneyd, Green, Houghton, Watts, Washbrook, Minichiello, Thompson.

Subs: Bowden, Fash, Turgut, Griffin.

Good enough for a win. Though washy might have been on bench and turgut in. Also swapped griffin with Michaels and have masi on bench. Win and we go second. COYH

Dressing room lock in coming up. 10-0 to Widnes on 11 minutes.

We have even lost yet and you're all doom and gloom, it's pathetic tbh. Remember the cc semi we beat wire in, they outplayed us the first 15 minutes scored 2 quick tries and we still won. Widnes are bottom for a reason. Doesn't guarantee we will win but you would expect us to

It's sounds exactly that. You've obviously not been following super league this season...

You don't get tongue in cheek do you...?

you may be right.
we cant do anything right at the moment.Penalties dropped ball, no offence
