I never said that Scott Spaven isn't good enough.

If Jacob Miller is coming on Sunday, which it looks as though he is according to the official Hull website, I was assuming either Cooke or Wilkinson wouldn't be playing. Scott Spaven hasn't played in the halves for a while now. It never actually entered my head that Spaven would make way for Miller.

We probably need a one-legged Paul Cooke to guide us round the park on Sunday because without him I fear our chances are probably very slim indeed, regardless of how the squad is shuffled.

The point I am making is that we must trust Paul Cooke to make the right decisions and if he thinks Miller is the right choice (for whatever reason) we must back him - not give the lad a tough time.

I wish I could but I find it hard to believe that Paul Cooke is picking this kid willingly

I wanted to respond to Double Movement's comments on Jacob Miller. Jacob Miller is not talented. He is another third rate Aussie who has been brought over to Super League. He won't be at Hull next year because two British half backs have been signed. One I think is massively over rated and the other a real emerging talent.

If Miller plays I will be VERY VERY unhappy.

Do you really think that Paul Cooke would stand for someone else telling him who to pick?

As reported, Hull have signed two more half-backs for next season. Miller could be on his way out. What would be the logic in Hull (or someone else) insisting that he plays for the Dons?

The only reason anyone plays for the Dons is because Paul Cooke wants them to.

As a general rule, I wait to see a player play at least half a dozen games before making a judgement on them. I haven't seen enough of Jacob Miller to know whether he's half-decent or rubbish. In the mean time, I'll give him the benefit of any doubt and trust that Paul Cooke knows what he's doing.

Just been reading the Hull forum. They're quite displeased that Richard Whiting has been left out of the squad to play Salford this weekend. There's no mention of him being injured.

Let's hope he's in our squad on Sunday along with Liam Colbon.

I thought it would be a case of play him or don't get the other guys. Although I must admit there is little sense in it there is even less in us actually playing him imo

If miller is playing then let's get behind the lad.you don't play Nrl and be given a three year deal at Hull just a lack of confidence maybe.COYD

The body language at Dewsbury , his passing & kicking was poor .

Lets hope PC is fit to play . I did say Hull have made available doesn't mean he will play !

The pitch at Dewsbury is a completely different thing to playing at the Keepmoat as well. I won't be there (at the moment, unless I can convince work to give me the afternoon off..

), but it will be interesting to see.

Looking forward to coming over to donny .A good away ground for a change our lads have been lucky the last couple of weeks I think our first loose is coming so if donny are on top form think Sunday will be it .

Does anyone know a bookies that is doing match bets for the championship? All I can find are super league and the nrl or will the odds appear Sunday morning?

The bookies generally wait until Sunday morning for the Championship matches (unless there are Championship fixtures Friday or Saturday).

Bet365, BetVictor, Coral, Hills, Ladbrokes & Skybet will likely have both Match betting and Handicap betting available.

Thank You

It'll save you going round to all the individual bookmakers' websites.

Nobody's got any prices for the games at the time of my post.

Thanks Again

Are we certain to play at the Keepmoat tomorrow.?

The game is at the Keepmoat , by the way , how is Wilfred ?

COYD!!!!! Really looking forward to this game,Big challenge but the dons can upset the form book.We will have to be switched on for 80 mins. Big pitch lets get the likes of Scotty,Tom,Ben crooks,with some space..

Ben crooks?

Yes Ben Crookes, in to replace Whiting I reckon.

Handicap Betting ...

Dons +14 points (10/11) with Coral, Ladbrokes, Paddy Power, Skybet & Totesport. Bet365 & BetVictor give just a 12-point start.

Match Betting ...

Bet365, Coral & Totesport are best priced for a Dons win offering 4/1. Elsewhere it's 3/1 or 7/2.

Whitting didn't play yesterday for Hull and don't think he was extra man?

Would have Richard in over Crooks if possible...

Think we will struggle in defence against their wingers and centres, Cunningham and Lee would have likely been best 2 in terms of that..

But even with our lass 2 days away from due date, we will be there!!!
Never know it might be the excitement that sets it off....if so I have requested Villa as boys name....

If Miller does play I hope he has the right footwear as he made the wrong choice at Dewsbury!
