Walters? No thanks! Mulhern or a bag of spuds should be ahead of him now. And probably Robbie Ward before Lilley....

I'd also consider my 'secret weapon' of Keinhorst at SO alongside Sinfield.. Our German international seems equally adept at running and passing both left and right (witness his pass to Watkins when he recently scored on wing).

cuthbertson says on twitter he will be ok for friday

Walters has probably played himself out of the team for now. I like the idea of Cuthbertson off the bench, coming on after about 25. Really hurt Hull when it happened yesterday (ruined somewhat by getting injured).

Suppose have to play Burrow at scrum-half rather than his best position of bench. Would be tempted to play Sinfield & Moon in the halves with Keinhorst centre but probably too much disruption. Would expect Delaney to be fit too.

Hardaker
Handley
Watkins
Moon
Hall
Sinfield
Burrow
Peacock
Aiton
Leuluai
S.Ward
Delaney
Ablett

R.Ward/Lilley
Singleton
Cuthbertson

Wouldn't have Walters anywhere near the team been really poor

Re: Team for Hull (A, CC) : Mon Jun 22, 2015 3:57 pm  

Walters is puzzling and infuriating in equal measure.

Not sure where the blame lies, but he's tried to pile way too muscle on way too quickly IMO. Whether the S&C coaches at Leeds have got it wrong or he's gone off and done additional work on his own over the winter I don't know, but it's killed the mobility and footwork that was one of his biggest threats.

He's now just basically a plodding back rower, when he could have been so much more. He's perhaps fortunate that the cupboard is somewhat bare in terms of back rowers in the 19s at Leeds, but as it stands I'd rather have Alex Foster back next year than Walters, which I didn't think I would be saying at the start of the season.

I'm not his biggest fan but I'd rather have Clarkson still here over Walters at the moment.
