I appear to have missed this but what’s the situation with regards to Obst?

He's flown back to aus because of a bereavement (sp)

He's gone back to australia for the funeral of the young aussie rugby union player, Shawn MacKay who died last week!

Sam was a close friend!

[uHulls Squad[/u

No R.Horne or King.

Hall, Calderwood, G. Horne, Yeaman, Washbrook, Thorman, Dowes, Lee, Thackray, Manu, Tickle, Radford, Berrigan, Burnett, Maloney, Moa, Houghton, Whiting.

Grix and Bibb to miss out for me, not knocking bibb, just think and Pitts has a bit more pace, and Scully offers mors options with ball in hand.

It really is harsh on Grix, because before his injury he was one of the form players so far this year!

Just goes to show how strong the squad is that he's now struggling to get in the team at all!

Pitts and Grix to miss out for me.

This Squad is looking reaaaaal good..!

I`ve just noticed that Hull have only named 18 players, no Reardon, King or Richard Horne. Agar has said that Reardon won`t play, the other 2 have gone for scans. I won`t lose any sleep if neither of them play.

I'd be tempted to give Grix a chance in this game, he only had one bad game against Saints and can cover more than one position!

Grix was avarage against Leigh aswell.........agree though that he deserves another chance because of his versatility. But most others are performing well at present, so who do you drop/rest?

Drew can not do 80mins, or at least you will not get the best out of him if he does! Latu really speeded up the play for us on Monday.......and against a tried and injury hit Hull team this could be key!!!

Drew did 80 nearly every game before his shoulder injury against Hull KR???

I agree, Drew is better when we can spell him...and Latu does change the game when he comes on.

But like you said, this is an injury hit and tired Hull team...Grix should be fresh and raring to get on the pitch.

This could be a good game for him to come back and try and get some form back...he can always slot in at hooker for Drew when he comes on.

p.s. Isn't it great that we finally have a squad where we can have these types of discussions!

But he is not as effective!!!!!

Was think the same thing, imagine if Stotic and Bibey were fit!!!!!!!

jjb???? Headingley???? Warrington/Salford at home............................

I'm a big fan of Grix and in the past have said he should be a starter wherever they play him because he's very good at reading the game and coming into the line, but he had two poor games against Saints and Leigh at stand off and we can't afford someone not to be on top of their game in that position, his problem now is that all the backs, and particularly the wingers are playing their socks off and under the current philosyphy of letting the players that are doing the business keep the shirts I can see it being a fair while before he gets another chance barring injuries.

Hull squad does in fact have Richard Horne in it Hall, Calderwood, G. Horne, Yeaman, Washbrook, Thorman, Dowes, Lee, Thackray, Manu, Tickle, Radford, Berrigan, Burnett, Maloney, Moa, Houghton, Whiting, R. Horne. www.superleague.co.uk/preview.php?id=3696

Strongest squad we've had this season IMO. Hopefully we perform to the best of our ability start to gain consistency!

Surely the club would benefit long term, with the selection of pitts infront of henderson, I aren't criticising (def spelt wrong!!) hendo, I feel it would be wrong to be over critical of any of the lads to be honest, but blooding young talent as cas showed last season has got to be the way forward in this non relegation world!
Also anyone seen frank winterstein yet???

Richard Horne's got the all clear after a scan on his foot showed no damage.

Do agree, but think we should alternate Bibb and Pitts (and Murphy with Persterson/George).......they need rest and time to reflect on the games they have played.......both the positive and negatives.
