Fully agree with only playing 4-5 from the final, it has to be done for the good of the whole season, and we can actually afford to lose by 30 points.



Only ones who have to play IMO would be Bowden, Green, Washbrook (hooker), Tuimavave (covering centre) and possibly one out of Shaul/Talanoa.

I really hope this isn't true. He was laughing and joking on Franks pre-match video

Shame if true about Pryce, played a bit part in the win against Saints in the cup.



My team would be



Naughton

Lancaster

Yeaman

Pryce

Micheals

Abdul

HTW

Green

Houghton

Masi

Hadley

Tomo

Washy



Litten

Fash

Turgut

Osborne

That's far too much for me the likes of HTW, Litten, Matongo and perhaps Lancaster won't get a game.



I'd go with



Shaul

Naughton

Fonua

Yeaman

Talanoa

Pryce (although can't see him playing for Hull again)

Abdull

Green

Houghton

Bowden

Turgut

Hadley

washbrook



Thompson

Feka

Fash

Downs



If Shaul doesn't play Naughton to fullback and Lancaster on the wing.

I suspect that might be more to do with him not being part of the club going forward than any falling out. I imagine he was invited since he was present at Wembley.



Pearson didn't want to go on stage at the end either but was persuaded. These things can be personal emotional decisions.

Yup - especially when you consider who and where Warrington are playing next - without Westwood and probably without Gidley (Sandow is reported to have hurt his knee as well)

Not a chance any of the players from Saturday will be right physically for Friday. They won't have stopped drinking until last night.



Recovery today and probably Wednesday, then building up slowly to be back in from Sunday I reckon. I'd happily see all 17 rested.

Someone was training this evening at about 7pm at County Road.

I wonder how many of us fans will be going? Got our tickets today. Whoever plays I'm pretty certain the party in the stands will continue regardless the score

By my reckoning we only need to win 2 to get a home semi BUT one of the wins needs to be against Wigan next week, Wake should be a formality ?



So, down time this week then peak against wigan.

beat wigan and wakey, top 2 cemented, also wigan have to go to warrington as well

I've heard that there may only be a handful of players rested, perhaps more players backing up than we all imagined.
