I would have liked to have seen both Crooks and Green back in the side as both have been decent, but I can understand not risking them if they have knocks.

I'd go with:

McDonnell
Lineham
Whiting
Yeaman
Briscoe
Horne
Holdsworth
Lynch
Heremaia
Johnson
Tickle
Westerman
Pitts

Houghton
Watts
O'Meley
Galea

So, apart from Seymour, it looks like we are going to have the same faces making the same mistakes again.

All depends on Arundel, really. If Crooks was available I'd definitely say replace him, but without that option I'd rather not move Whiting. Gentle will have the best idea whether or not to give Arundel another chance by how he's reacted in training, so for me it would either be:

McDonnell
Lineham
Arundel
Yeaman
Briscoe
Holdsworth
Horne
Lynch
Houghton
O'Meley
Tickle
Westerman
Pitts

Heremaia
Watts
Johnson
Whiting

Or Whiting to centre, Bowden on the bench. I don't even want to contemplate Holdsworth not playing.

An example in point of why we are becoming to be regarded as a truly S##t band of supporters. Why players probably don't feel comfortable trying something different and lose confidence.
Arundel has been poor granted, but is a young kid with 2games for us after a period out.
Already he is garbage n worthy of abuse,along the lines of hall sharp etc. Could maybe start sarcastically cheering when he does something good as well!
In any kind of weather. What a crock of Shite!!!

After two games ? Wow.

Holdsworth and Watts are back which should greatly improve us.

Who else would you have liked to see brought into the 19 ?

With supporters like you, who needs rivals?

He's played 2 games for God's sake.

Some Hull supporters are really thick, they just want 'star players' in seconds. No patience or room for error. As has been said, no wonder we are fast becoming s..t supporters and a 'no go' area for some players.

Don't be daft. When deciding which club to join, players will do what's best for their bank balance and career prospects. They won't give the fans a second thought.

Like to see Bowden given a go on friday

So would I and he would start for me. I would also drop O'Meley, Houghton and Galea to the bench.

It's a shame we don't have more options because I would completely drop a couple of others, Yeaman being first.

I think Arundel will play, old club and all that. Had two games and played poorly, really hope he improves.

I would like to see Whiting in at centre due to more experience needed to look after Justin Carney. Not sure Arundel will cut it against him

Think it would be a big mistake to put Arundel in this week. He needs a good few games at York and needs to be looking very good in their side before he's even considered for ours again.

Carneys a winger

Judging by the Wigan highlights, it'll take both the centre and the winger to keep him quiet! He looks a bit of a beast.

Agree Carney does look a beast and putting Arundel on our right defence would be a huge mistake.

I don't doubt Arundel is a talented player, but I do think he really needs to get back into his rugby at York, I'd like to see Whiting at centre too as he is much more reliable in defence and his brain with Lineham's speed and talent could mean a few scores down our right hand side

Shame about Crookes and Green so options limited.
Arundel shouldn't play IMO - it hasn't been his positioning in defence that's been the problem but simply the ease in which he's been brushed aside. He needs lots of games away from SL to rebuild confidence in his shoulder and his game.

Arundel missed a lot of games last season (only played 4 matches, I think) and as we have the link-up with York I feel that we should take advantage of that and get him more gametime there for him to get more fitness, experience, and confidence.

The guy has talent, I just don't think that we need to throw him straight into games.

The backrow is one of our strongest areas of the squad and so I feel that we can afford to move Whiting to the centre until Crooks is back as we will have a suitable replacement for his spot in the forwards.

id settle for whiting at centre until Jason and Ben crooks are back and play Ben with briscoe and Jason with lineham i think we will see alot more tries for briscoe and lineham with some real speed in the back line its time we stop playing the likes of yeamo on past reputation and shake the team up and concentrate on winning rugby games

I really do despair at some of our 'fans'. I've never seen or heard so many snap judgements. Joe Arundel is not garbage. He is only twenty-one years old and is a good prospect. He needs to develop but he isn't being allowed to do so with our team and the way we're playing. I agree I don't think he should be starting games but he is not garbage.

"It's not good enough," said a frustrated Gentle. "We need to make changes.

"I've got the same faces making the same mistakes over and over, so I can't stick with them any longer."

What happened? OK so maybe we're short handed , maybe the younger players aren't up to it yet but why say things like this and about having depth and having confidence in the kids???? There are no changes here that wouldn't have been made before the Widnes game or are unenforced.
