Isn't it? Only because we don't have an interchange hooker. We'd have 4 forwards on the bench if we did.

So you'd go with : Radders, Dowes, Hame, Westy?

Probably. Can't see the point in having a winger on the bench in case someone gets injured. Assuming there are no injuries in the backs then it's a waste. We need plenty of forward rotation to match a strong hudds pack. Could swap lauaki for washbrook I suppose as he's marginally more versatile

Fair enough.

That's why I'd have our winger starting and Whiting for cover off the bench.

Big pack, agreed, but maybe we'll try and move it about a bit and continue with our new found expansiveness.

But unless anyone gets injured then whiting will add nothing. Either he or sharp starts IMO and the other one is left out

Long may be ready yet. Doubt it though. www.thisishullandeastriding.co.u ... ticle.html?

Lauaki

Local paper says Fa'alogo should be in the 19 for Hudds. If he is 100% that is a big +ve for the Giants. Bigger still is Nathan Brown announcing he is staying atthe Giants.

3 front rowers on the bench unless lauaki rotating in backrow with westy and plans to bring ticks of

no hame?

Dowes deserves his spot he has been very consistent the last few weeks, hame shouldn't be in the first 17.

Agree,lauaki should be dropped..hasnt done nothing to warrant a place in the team every week.

Does anyone know how old kids have to be before you start paying for them as im thinking of taking my two under fives to their first game?

tbh hame has improved over the last few weeks but hes a backrower thats where he plays his best rugby and where not seeing the best from him. personally id have radders and dowes on the bench because both deserve there spot but id also have hame on the bench but rotating with the backrow.

Two props with Hame and Westy rotating the back row. We will need to be dominant in the pack to have a chance.

Radders or dowesy

I'd change Whiting for Sharpe and stick with dowesy Wolfie, think he's really grafted these last few games..! Radders has been carrying a few knocks, I'd save him for the derby as he should push himself that little harder.

I can see it being the same 17 as at Salford.

Hull: Phelps, Whiting, Gleeson, Yeaman, T Briscoe, Horne, Obst, O'Meley, Houghton, Moa, Manu, Tickle, Fitzgibbon.

Replacements: Sharp, Radford, Westerman, Dowes.

Awful first half.

Dropped balls

Shocking kicking.

We put one high ball up and Grix drops it, then we don't do again.

Lucky to be only 2 points down.

Must improve in the 2nd half.

Thank fook for Willie Manu
