Myler should be dropped after his shocking performance against KR but doubt he will. I don't really want Sutcliffe in halves cause he isn't a half for me or young Mclelland because think it'll be to much pressure on a young half to try and play well in these pressure games to get us out of this relegation battle, but I am sick of Myler this season he has had to many chances and benefit of the doubt constantly and he continues to come up with same garbage he has done all year poor kicks, bad reads in defence no organisation even with a proper halfback partner with Lui now. Really hope we can get rid of him next season and bring in a class half next year.

It's a home game mate

I'd agree with you pretty much.

On face value I'd be tempted to start with Lunt and Singo in the front row, to give some structure and take some sting out. Bring on Ava, Oledski and Dwyer for impact?

I am close to thinking McClelland for 7 and he probably has the confidence but it's a big change at this stage in the season.

Bit worried about this one, I don't think we can bank on Hull taking their eye off the ball and they have been devastating when they turn up this year at times. Then again, realistically the cup might be their big chance because of their inconsistency.

Mine would be.

1. Walker
2. Golding
3. Newman
4. Hurrell
5. Handley.
6. Lui
7. Mclleland (It’s a risk though) Myler doesn’t deserve to play.
8. Ava
9. Lunt
10. Singleton/Peteru if fit.
11. Sutcliffe
12. Martin
13. Merrin

14. Oledzski/Peteru if fit.

16. Donaldson
17. Dwyer.

Briscoe is not good enough in defence and Hull will pepper him. Golding is sound in defence and is desperate to play and will therefore try really hard.
Myler doesn’t deserve to be anywhere near. Mclleland is a risk though but I would give him a shot, he played decent against Toronto. Lunt showed direction and composure and reasons why he is a starting hooker. Dwyer is a quick, impact hooker that adds bags of energy and a boost, but also can play like a headless chicken and we need composure. We missed a bench prop and now Singleton is back and as much as don’t rate him sometimes because he is very hit and miss he adds aggression and and a bit of bite. If Peteru is fit he should jump in. Hull are a big team and Ava needs help as he has been class, the last thing we need is an injury to him because he is doing all the work.

Agree with everything here except I don't think Golding will play first team again unless a real run of injury happens.

Briscoe is one of those... I can see why people criticize him, but he does an awful lot of good work with hard carries and can be very good. He made a mistake or two last week granted, but I wouldn't drop him personally, I think we have bigger fish to fry.

If I was Hull I'd be looking at both our centres to target; Hurrell is going to break your ribs if he hits you, but usually misses and drags the line out behind him. Newman is a strong kid but he just doesn't have the physicality (upper body in particular) at this level yet - AND he is learning positionally at the same time. Some of the issues with the wingers are due to our centres making poor choices (and the halves when Tui was here) which are giving them tough decisions too often IMO. Not saying they couldn't do better still but as Agar has alluded to, our systems need to be working better too.

I'd give McClelland a go ahead of Myler as well. If not now we'll run out of games and have to continue with him regardless. Sutcliffe shouldn't go back to halfback unless there's literally nobody else.

Yeah actually if we are going to try McLelland this year, this game would be about right. Time to recover if it doesn't work - and if Hull are on we'll struggle to compete anyway IMO. Not sure it's good for Myler's confidence but survival is bigger than any individual.
