from what i am led to believe The team themselves have all decided to make this Friendly very unfriendly and win at all costs, spoken long into the day about it at length I am told, a full 1st team outing i am told!!

god i hope so

So they say but how many players will not play due to some injury concern or whatever. It's never normally a full strength side.

Yeaman, Berrigan through injury. O'Meley possibly depending on how fit he is since his knee op, Briscoe might be another who they decide not to risk. We may see a strong side for the first half or possibly 60 mins and after that I would expect lots of changes.

Wonder if Jack Briscoe will get a look in later in the game, personally I would like to see it.

I just can't wait to get all this speculation out of the way and actually get to see a game on sunday, got my ticket for the north stand Horney definitely deserves a good showing by both sets of fans especially after overcoming the neck injury takes real balls to bounce back like he has.



For a true hero to our great game.

well u are playing two games over 48 hours

York v hull kr - friday 15th jan

and

Hull fc v hull kr sun 17th jan

Im hearing rovers wont be fielding a full strength team against us,not sure what truth there is in it.

Heard Fox and Dobson won't be playing.

Nor Vella

both teams will be near to full strength,apart from the odd one or 2 out injured etc.it will be interesting to see what sort of starting 13 agar has in mind,even tho i would expect all of the 'local' lads to get a run out.some of these lads have played next to horney for a number of years,and i would expect him to want them play beside him.

Will Clinton be making his debut?

Looks like we will be using a 19 or 20 man playing squad for the game. Only Berrigan and Burnett missing through injury.

you sure about that,is yeamo playing?

hope so,yeamo did tell me hed be fit for the derby but wasnt sure wether hed be risked.

yeah got that right wolfie, there sending an academy side to play york

an old mate of mine works within the club at york,and he told me at the weekend they are expecting a young rovers side to play against them.

I'd expect a full strength Hull side minus Yeaman and Berrigan. Morgan said on Radio Humberside the other day that Fox won't be playing.

Not sure how we'll line up. What are the rules for the game as regards subs? Would have thought both clubs will go in with 20 man squads.

Something like this?............

FB Cockayne
W Colbon
C Welham
C Webster
W Ratu

SO Cooke
SH I'anson

P Wheeldon
H Murrell
P Netherton

SR Cook
SR Newton
L Galea

Hodgson
Taylor
Mariano
Lovegrove
Watts
Beaumont
Spaven

FWIW I think Hull will win convincingly.

And gateshull on the 19th. IIRC Sorry meant head.

Not quite match fit apparantly. Maybe 18th Man. THink Lockyer is starting though and it will be a pity to see Hall in a red and white shirt, but such is life.

lets not forget Crocker

your joking aint you, he's far to busy swilling tooheys new on the gold coast somewhere waiting for his visa to clear..i dont even think he'll make rovers first game vs salford......

more like Clinton is waiting for a cash amount to be deposited to prove they can actually pay him!
