Strong.

We've had injuries like this all season, only we haven't made a fuss about it.

Walker could come in then if Raleigh is not fit to play.

Says in t'examiner today that he has to undergo a compulsory head test. Also Fa'alogo out for 2 months, Eorl 4 weeks and Raleigh 6 weeks, Whatuira and Aspinwall out indefinately.

Are we the new Hull FC?

Mason, Griff, Patrick, Walker, and anyone know how Fairbank is progressing?
We will miss Eorl, although he has not kicked on from last year. Frog is a loss but not so much, he,s only played in 7 games this year, and come off injured in 2, maybe he should go home, get his op, rehab, and come back for a fresh start
next year, or not.
l,m getting fed up with these Aussies, pension packers, and sick notes, ok a hamstring injury is an occupational hazard, but we have not had the best of deals from our imports over the last few years.



PS. Can we not get Kirkmond back or is the deal till next year?

don't think we can get kirmond back.
i think the side on sunday will look something like

hodgson b
lolesi
cudjoe
lawrence
hodgson d
brown
brough
patrick
robinson
mason
wild
gilmour
faiumu

griffin
lunt
horne
finnigan

i think we need three forwards on the bench to cope with the size of hulls interchange players and having griffin their gives a bit more impact. that would mean no place for grix or drew.
young Walker could also get a chance but if Finnigan is fit i would rather go for the extra experience.

That is still a very good side.Really looking forward to coming over for the game on sunday.
Our team should be

Tansey
Whiting
Turner
Yeaman
Briscoe
Washbrook
Long
Dowes
Houghton
Cusack
Manu
Tickle
Fitzgibbon

Berrigan
Lauaki
Moa
Radford

is there no front rowers we could get on a sort term contract or on loan? i do think we need to be going into games like this week with more then 1 reconised front rower on the bench.

other then that i think the team Stella Kid put down looks strong enough to get a result, at least we will be a mobile unit.


All together now .........."Always look on the bright side of life de dum de de de dum dede dede"

Adam Walker is a good prospect and deserves another run out - he wasn't to blame at Salford.

Walker looked ok at Salford but he is not the biggest and with the size of the Hull pack could struggle.
I don't see how we can obtain a decent prop on loan at such short notice especially as we are up to salary cap which is why we sent Kirmond to Wakefield.

Posted in a thread titled, "Injury woes are mounting". Nice.

I'm sure hull kr will let you have david mills

I'm sure they would if he wasn't playing for Harlequins

cant see finnegan playing yet for first team, will need a few reserve games first

can go with 3 props or bring walker in... hes still doing well for the reserves.

i would possibly go with grix on the wing, and lolesi on the bench,who is able to cover centre/wing/and any forward position,think it's probably too early for finnigan.

hodgson
grix
cudjoe
lawrence
hodgson
brown
brough
mason
robinson
griffin
wild
gilmour
faiumu

lolesi
patrick
lunt
walker/fairbank

Got to laugh at that one ! Nice post

Not unless you can get this thread to hundreds of pages spread and rename it : Excuses, Moaners and Whingers

or call for the coach to be sacked along with most of the players when on a poor run of form only to go very quiet a few weeks later with the team sitting 4th on the back of a good run of form

fancy fans discussing injuries?

We'll start another forum so other fans can't see us moan.

tbh some still want rid. Where very fickle btw!

Or claiming your best player isnt very good now as he has signed for a rival team.

Sounds like MOTM today



Great player Hodgson.

Fantastic comeback today although I think the referee was a bit one sided in the second half!
Griffin was the clear man of the match for me but Mason also played well.

thats justin morgans middle name IIRC

He wasn't exactly straight down the middle in the 1st half either, trying to even things up IMO and his arm only pointed 1 way so glad when we swapped ends.
