Can't believe I missed Lunt off. That has been amended as the Media suggest he will be available, he has taken Jewitts place.

I don't personally feel that Dagger is quite ready for the Step up. He was pretty Awful in all the pre season friendlies he played and was only average against a poor Catalan team. I feel it will be a year or 2 before he becomes a regular, certainly would'nt want to throw an inexperienced FB into the derby cauldron.

McGuire, Lunt, Scruton, Kavanagh & Jewitt all in the 19. I'm shocked

Decimated we were told.

To be fair though, arguably your two best players so far this year are out, Heffernan & Mulhern.


Houghton & Paea back for us. Hadley & Manu are our two out with injuries.

By one definition of that word, we'd only need 3 or 4 injuries for it to be accurate.

But we've got decent depth now, and there are some who haven't made the 19 despite being fit and capable of 'doing a job'. We just lack a bit of power and, in places, quality. If the result reflects that, then there's no excuse, other than that is the current reality of our situation.

Danny won’t be affective if he plays after that horrendous head injury .

Same for Lunty after sustaining that horrific injury to his knee , surprised he has been named in the squad to be honest .

Rovers naming patched up players against a full strength Hull team .

“Full Strength”? You incapable of using Google to find Hull’s 19-man squad?

Talisman Houghton back coupled with the return of Paea
Timely boost for Hull.
