Not easy ... we don't win that many at Cougar Park (or whatever it is called now).
But, what with their problems and our recent form, surely if we go there with a professional attitude, we can win?
Otherwise it is Dampsquibsville Arizona.
Thoughts?

With the same determination we showed against Newcastle we should have too much for Keighley.

I'd like to see Ross Osborne back though. Hull are at home to Castleford on Friday so we should know their squad on Wednesday.

We should have enough for this. I'd have Osborne back for this too. Take the chances that will come and it'd be a surprise to lose it.

5 of our 13 victories at Cougar Park (out of 54 fixtures) have been since the turn of the century.

Cheers Donny.

I think we feel a little apprehensive because of the scars we've got from some of the defeats that must be lingering in our minds.

One other memory I have from Keighley was when Audley Pennant tried to rip the ball out in the tackle and knocked some of Kevin Parkhouse's teeth out!

Have a feeling you will lose Miloudi for this game

Miloudi, Litten, Lane all in Hulls squad

How close to fitness is Rich Owen?

6 of Hull's 19 have played for the Dons this season (the other three being Bienek, Harris and Cameron Scott).

I don't know Rob but he looked as though he'd got some broken ribs when he came off at Whitehaven. Unless they were just badly bruised I'd guess he's not ready yet.

As we've got to name our squad on Friday, we'll be doing so before we know which two players have been removed from the Hull 19-man squad.

I will look forward to our squad details with interest!

What will be will be. Whilst we'd obviously miss Hakim we're pretty well off for options in the outside backs.

Rich Horne will move Sanderson to full back and bring in your other wing

My thoughts too. Bish back on wing and still pretty strong.

Hull FC 19-man squad: Jamie Shaul, Bureta Faraimo, Carlos Tuimavave, Josh Griffin, Fetuli Talanoa, Scott Taylor, Danny Houghton, Dean Hadley, Jordan Abdull, Danny Washbrook, Brad Fash, Sika Manu, Jez Litten, Jordan Lane, Hakim Miloudi, Masi Matongo, Cameron Scott, Liam Harris, Lewis Bienek.

I can't see Jordan Abdull getting a game after what's been said recently. It looks like Liam Harris and Hakim in the halves?

If so they can keep Abdull. Last thing we need to do is mess about with our halves.

Abdull isn't qualified to play for us anyway, Rob.

I think Richard will know who will be left out of the Hull squad .

Any news about Charlie Martin , we know Owen is/was injured .

Sanderson to fullback, AJB on the wing.

Owen seemed to be walking OK after the Haven game but I guess it's hard to tell with that kind of injury

Hull down to 17, Abdull & Griffin out of their 19 .

O/t sounds like Hull will be running a reserve ream in 2019 , hope that means the end of dual-reg .

I've always thought that Super League teams should have a reserve team but after giving it a lot of thought I'm not so sure it's a good idea.

Where would Hull get their reserve team players from? Would they sign four or five of our better players to play for their reserves? Would the community clubs suffer because their players would be 'raided'?

Would the Super League teams want more 'central funding' to run their second teams? If so, where would they get the cash from? They would reduce the central funding for Championship and Championship One clubs to facilitate this.

Fundamentally, there aren't enough players playing the game to have a reserve grade league without it impacting on the Championship, Championship One, and community clubs.

In principle, a reserve grade seems like a good idea; in practice I can see issues arising that would probably impact negatively on the Dons.

With regard to DR/Loans, I think that if Super League teams want to use Championship and Championship One clubs to help develop their players they should be done on season long loan deals with NO recalls allowed during the season.

Back on thread, if Abdull and Griffin are out, it looks like we'll get no one from Hull this weekend.
