For me I would keep both Michaels and Yeaman in the 17.



Neither have let the team down and have been a big part in the teams turn around. Both have been defensively sound with Michaels really impressing me with his returns and in taking the kicks/bombs put up. Yeaman has also impressed with his passing

something I never thought I would equate to him

however he has to now or face losing his place again.



For me Talanoa has not been as soild or as complete as Michaels and no doubt with kicks probably coming from Broughy I would rather have Michaels under them than Talanoa.



Thats the whole point of a squad having competition, while you are playing well you should keep your place until your form drops. Would be complete madness to drop either of them for Talanoa unless they are not fit to play.

I guess it depends where Radford sees Talanoa fitting in longer term, maybe Yeaman is yesterdays man, he's had a couple of good games on the back of two average seasons.

I wouldn't worry so much guys we are on short turnaround have a team of headless chickens and will manufacture a way to put you in scoring positions like we did with Castleford yesterday.



Complacency will be your worst enemy I believe start off fast and score early and it will be game over before half time Frank Pritchard will have a field day with our current defensive capabilities.



I wouldn't bet on Hull unless we were +40 in the betting if that puts things in to perspective

Still two tough games and would be happy with one win from two, keep the same side for this week, but rest anyone tired or with a knock.



Looking forward to the game and hopefully a decent crowd.

Yesterdays man (as you put it) or not Yeaman is playing well and shouldn't be dropped for Talanoa who when played at Centre is bloody awful.



Yeaman has copped a lot of stick over the past couple of seasons and righly so sometimes but FFS the guy deserves some credit for the perfomances he has put in whether he's nearing the end or at the start of his Hull FC career.

Talanoa should not get back in unless there is an injury at the moment in my opinion but need Carlos utility value

I was simply saying it depends what Radford sees as "the future", Yeaman deserves credit for his improvement I agree.

Whilst I've not been Yeaman's biggest fan, the left centre spot must be his on form. The continued pressure for places should keep everyone on their toes and this is the perfect example. Tuimavave on the bench acknowledges his value to the side. It puts pressure on Yeaman to keep his place and on Tuimavave when he gets his chance.

Should be a comfortable win if we turn up in the right frame of mind and hudds continue with the form they've shown so far this season but you just know that one (or both) of those won't happen. It never does when we're involved

I think after three games in eight days its time to freshen things up a little. Washbrook should come back in and if possible spell Houghton to give him a rest. Id also bring Pryce in too as i dont rate Tuimavave. The rest should be pretty much the same

I'd be looking at giving Taylor as rest if anyone.

Pryce and Washbrook not fit according to Radford in HDM (via @PaulClarke89 on Twitter).



I'm no great fan of Yeamo. I didn't want him to get another contract, but on current form you cannot drop him.
