If we are serious for the LLS and a GF place then I hope that's the case.

If we are serious for the LLS and a GF place then I hope that's not the case.

leeds lost 3 in a row after wembley last season having played a strong line up the week after the final. We should learn from that and rest as many as we can. Far more important games to come than friday at saints

Indeed, rest as many as possible. The first team won't win anyway, there's no way they will be right physically or mentally. If the youngsters cause an upset then that's brilliant, but the important thing is that everyone is refreshed and ready to start again against Wigan. There's alot of guys that have had next to no rest, and it will catch up with us. At this stage even the lack of injuries is a disadvantage, because were we would normally have half a team that has had a month off mid season, these lot have been doing it week in week out.

Wakefield game brought forward from Sunday to Thursday.



Probably a good move from our point of view.

Hull FC

1. Jamie Shaul, 2. Mahe Fonua, 5. Fetuli Talanoa, 6. Leon Pryce, 8. Scott Taylor, 10. Liam Watts, 13. Jordan Abdull, 14. Feka Paleaaesina, 15. Chris Green, 16. Jordan Thompson, 17. Dean Hadley, 19. Steve Michaels, 20. Curtis Naughton, 21. Sika Manu, 22. Josh Bowden, 23. Frank Pritchard, 24. Kirk Yeaman, 25. Jansin Turgut, 30. Danny Washbrook

Stronger squad than expected, reckon either Shaul or one of the wingers won't play to give Naughton a game, glad Pryce is playing, still think we will lose this one, too many tired bodies and key players missing.



Can't imagine Washy playing 80 at hooker, so wonder what will happen there.

I'd go with -

Shaul

Binman

Yeamo

Fonua

Michaels

Pryce

Abdul

Bowden

Washbrook

Green

Pritchard

Turgut

Thompson



Feka

Hadley

Watts

Naughton

My side would be



Naughton

Talanoa

Yeaman

Fonua

Micheals

Abdul

Pryce

Green

Washy

Bowden

Frank

Manu

Tomo



Hadley (hooker)

Feka

Watts

Turgut

was expecting more to be out - i guess they still could be

I thought there may be a couple more youngsters in there so looks like the bulk of saturday's team will have to back up which is a mistake IMO but it's what radford is paid to do. Add in hadley and thompson and that's 7 likely changes. I just hope they give taylor and watts a rest

out



I didn't mean there had been a falling out. I was saying Pryce himself suppoesely didn't want to attend as he didn't feel he played a part. It's probably nonesense anyway, just something a few people were saying in Queens Gardens on Monday.
