Some interesting selections coming up Sunday if available, will Ratu, Carlos, Manu, Jones, Ligi, and fingers crossed Tag, force Lasty hand, this game would have been massive in past seasons, and a real good crowd, Cas look in good fettle, we must be the underdog. COYH

we have a chance, cas had a tough match last night, be hard to back that up for 80 min sun, interesting selections if all fit for lasty,

Hull FC:

Jamie Shaul, Bureta Faraimo, Carlos Tuimavave, Josh Griffin, Adam Swift, Jake Connor, Danny Houghton, Chris Satae, Manu Ma’u, Ligi Sao, Albert Kelly, Jordan Johnstone, Brad Fash, Jordan Lane, Andre Savelio, Mahe Fonua, Kieran Buchanan, Gareth Ellis, Jack Brown, Ratu Naulago, Joe Cator.

No Jones again, Bowden Scott Wynne Massi unlucky for Wynne he looked good

So without Sneyd, Taylor, Jones and Bowden but that's a reasonable line up.

Judging by squad numbers though Cas look virtually full strength https://twitter.com/CTRLFC/status/13043 ... 87040?s=19

Cator is named on the email I got from the club, so who knows?

I clicked the link in the email, and it went to club news but no team news, so I found the squad elsewhere.

Your post gave me a clue - my emailer had truncated the rhs of the screen , so no player names at all until I scrolled to the right.

I'd probably go with

Jamie Shaul
Ratu Naulago
Carlos Tuimavave
Josh Griffin
Adam Swift/Mahe Fonua
Jake Connor
Albert Kelly
Gareth Ellis
Jordan Johnstone
Ligi Sao
Jordan Lane
Manu Ma’u
Joe Cator

Brad Fash
Andre Savelio
Jack Brown/Danny Houghton
Chris Satae

With one of Brown, Houghton or Savelio to miss out, if Savelio's nose is ok then he stays leaving the choice between Brown & Houghton for the remaining spot for me. Ca't decide on Swift or Fonua as both made good contributions against Wakey. Faraimo for me misses out to Ratu as don't think he did enough to warrant staying in.

To be honest looking at the squad we have available it is certainly one that is capable of winning despite the likes of Sneyd, Jones, Taylor & Bowden missing.

Not without Bowden from injury he has been left out by the coach

Rightly so in my opinion. Hes been poor for a long time now. One id certainly be looking to offload

Its a tricky one for Last
The backs probably pick themselves but Swift for me on the wing with Fonua on the bench.
Johnstone for me over Houghton.
If Fonua drops to the bench then no place for Houghton
Lets see what he is made off with Houghton and Fonua or does he take the easy route and drop Swift and Fash or Brown

Doubts about a few of the backs so will prob name one on the bench ?

Just need cover if somebody pulls up early doors.

Hope so. They always say though over Easter that it's not the Easter Monday game that gets you but the one after.

Disappointed Wynne isnt in, I cant see any of Shauls game that is better than Wynne' right now. I also dont see the reason to bring in Ratu in, think apart from Leeds he has been poor this year, doesn't offer enough going forward to help the team out.

Ratu all day long for me, he’s got that speed, agree about Wynne he’s been really unlucky to lose his place.

We've won 1 in 5 . You guys are very slight favourites with the bookies.

Disappointed that Shaul just comes straight back in.

I'm doing things over the weekend so I probably wont watch it. My enthusiasm is at an all time low. Partly because I'm feeling really disillusioned with the club right now, and partly because the season has just become a case of lets get it finished to make sure we keep sky happy. A cup with 8 teams doesnt do it for me tbh. Even if we won it I wouldn't really care much.

Depends if the bookmakers believe Liams broken ribs tweet, seriously, watching Cas at present, and watching Hull are two different levels, we’ve had two fortunate wins against Huddersfield and Wakey, whilst Cas have been outstanding against Saints and Wire, Hull will have to raise the bar to get anyway close.

But you never know

Plus we have an interim coach with what 4 games? under his belt, not the hugely experienced Powell and are missing both our GB players and our 2*Lance Todd winner. Would love to progress in the cup personally but viewing this game more in hope than expectation.

4 of our team who played on Thursday dropped out of the cup squad, 3 players from Cas, so not much difference.

Depends on the final 17, I guess. We could have as many as 8 fresh (pairs of) legs, and cas 7.

We've only won two in five and haven't won back to back games away from the KCOM since June last year.
