As long as they give everything that's all we ask as SRD fans. Spoke to Moz today and he was impressed with how well we were drilled against Wigan. Seems there is a good feel factor around the place at the moment.

I'd probably prefer a team of David Hulme's...... Perhaps we can mix and match!?

Re: 17 For Hull : Tue Feb 02, 2016 9:14 am  

I have got a suspicion that they might go with Gareth O’Brien at FB instead of Niall Evalds. It seems like a major part of our game plan this season will be to get the ball outwide quickly. That’s much easier to do with 3 halves on the pitch. I hope I am wrong, but with Niall being named in the squad that was expected to face North Wales last weekend and the remainder of the “first team” rested it seems likely. Certainly not convinced by Gaz O’B at FB in place of Evalds, would be criminal to do so for me but in Tim and Ian we trust…

1. O’Brien
2. J.Griffin
3. Jones
4. Sa’u
5. Carney
6. Lui
7. Dobson
8. Kopczak
9. Lee
10. G.Griffin
11. Sarsfield
12. Murdoch-Masila
13. Flanagan

Tomkins
A.Walne
Krasniqi
Lannon

I agree, JGR.

I think they want to give Evalds more game time before the season starts and, who knows, maybe he has had a knock or maybe not quite match fit yet. I'm sure all the squad will get their chance to shine and cement a place over the coming season.

Re: 17 For Hull : Tue Feb 02, 2016 3:30 pm  

Drop Evalds and we lose another talented youngster to another club, be absolutely ridiculous if he gets dropped for O'Brien

Re: 17 For Hull : Tue Feb 02, 2016 3:40 pm  

Looking at the Salford FB they were responding to a question asked and said that all the players who will be playing in the re aranged fixture on Sunday against Crusaders won't feature against Hull. So O'brien it is then.

I take your point but would you want to keep anyone whose attitude was that flaky??

As much as I like Niall and want him to fulfil the promise he has shown in the last few years he still has a lot to learn (his positional sense at times is way off). I saw enough in the Wigan game to agree with JGR that O'Brien will be picked to start the match on Friday.

Yes,I suggested on here last week that I thought they might go with O'Brien,and it was met with incredulity.
I'm an Evalds fan and would definitely go that route.
You can hardly blame him if he's hacked off when not picked.
It's difficult to see what more he could have done last season.
Having said all that Sheens has no axe to grind so he'll do what he thinks best and that's OK by me

Re: 17 For Hull : Tue Feb 02, 2016 4:40 pm

Carlos Tuimavave
Fetuli Talanoa/Steve Michaels
Leon Pryce

Mark Minichiello
Sika Manu
