Big test for us with Moz, Bridge and Westwood out.

Predicting a tough game on Friday.

Damn this mid season international!

Not big - massive. Need everyone else including Woody to be fit & firing!

Could be without 6-7 first team players for this.

Woody was fit to play last night.

am i right in saying if atkins was in the sqaud for the international we could of called the game off
and does harrison play for ireland or england

If he was why didn't he play?

I'd guess at resting him for next week with us missing Benny, Morley and Carvell.

who ?

Moz, Benny, Bridge, Carvs, Myler and possibly Wood.

Team for Friday?
Mathers
Riley
Atkins
King
Hicks
Briers
Grix
Wood
Monas
Harrison
Solomona
Louis
Vinnie

Bench:
Cooper
Higham
Mitchell
Williams.

Still should be enough.

Probably what most would go with. Maybe give Mitchell as start and use Solomona from the bench.

That's still a damn fine side with Myler, Carvell, Morley, Weswood and Bridge missing

still a good team with out mozzy bridge ect

i agree with people on here id give mitchell a run out and use solomona from the bench

Thats still a quality team. I've been a bit pessimistic about this game knowing who we would have missing, but when I see the team written down it fills me with confidence. Will still be a very tough game.

I might be tempted to mix the backs up so that Grix can stay at loose and keep the impact of Solomona from the bench:

Riley
Williams
King
Atkins
Hicks
Mathers
Briers
Wood
Monaghan
Harrison
L. Anderson
V. Anderson
Grix

Higham
Cooper
Solomona
Mitchell

hull kr lost 8 games
wire lost 4 games.
predition wire win ,just...
got to remain positive,like i said in a earlier post we have forgot how to loose...

Smith probably thought he could beat Salford without Woody and probably had next week in mind with so many missing.

no need change the backs except grix for bridge. mathers is on fire at full back dont move him, wood for morley, solomona/mitchell start second row with vinnie at loose

Is there not a chance that say one of our players isn't in the 17 for the England vs France game, that they could play, as they would know they wouldn't be playing beforehand?

Wouldn't have thought so, what if someone gets injured?

can see solomona being used as an interchange prop this week

I hope not.

Alot more effective at second row IMO.

We can probably expect Carvell, Myler and Clarke to be back in contention in the next 2-3 weeks. It would be nice if one could make it for next week but I have no idea how they are progressing.

with the team people have named in this thread, we only have cooper on the bench as interchange prop

i can see the pack being:

wood
monas
harrison
anderson
anderson
grix

the bench:
solomona (prop)
cooper (prop)
mitchell (second row)
higham (hooker )

landerson was playing prop for the back end of teh second half.
