Hull (a) : Sat Jul 20, 2019 12:10 pm  

Assuming no training ground disasters, we could be something like

Hardaker
Marshall
Sarginson (Hankinson)
Gildart
Burgess
Williams
Leuluai (Samutt)
Flower
Powell
Clubb
Farrell
Greenwood (Isa)
O'Loughlin

Naverette
Partington
Smithies
+ any of the bracketed players

Dare I say things could be looking up for the back end of the season ?

Go away with your positive attitude, it's just not on!!

Anyone know what’s the deal with Greenwood?

Seems to get concussed each or every other game,class player but he needs to be right before he steps back on the field

I'd start with Sammut as the attack was far faster and more fluent that for some time. Williams had a lot more space to work in and he had a great game.
After Lam's comments about Tommy it will be him starting so we'll be back to the slow, cluncking attack, no pace and no threat from either half back and a lousy kicking game with no game management.
However, Sammut is no match defensively compared to Tommy.

Me too regards Sammut, I put him in brackets because I'm sure Lam will go with Leuluai if he's fit.
We just look as if there's a lot more points in us with Sammut partnering Williams.

Lam described Leuluai as the heartbeat of the team in the Wigan evening post and confirmed he’s playing on next year. He will start the Hull game at scrum half without any question.

Presuming everyone bar the two wingers and Bullock are fit I’d go-

Hardaker
Marshall
Sarge
Gildart
Burgess
Williams
Leuluai
Flower
Powell
Navarette
Isa
Farrell
Lockers

Clubb
Greenwood
Partington
Sammut

I’d give Smithies a week or two extra out of the fire. He’s been fabulous and I’d pick him our strongest team at the moment, once he’s had an extended rest.

I think we probably needed Leeds to do us a favour yesterday to have a chance of 3rd. But goes without saying we have to beat Hull to stand any chance.

Starting to wonder how much of a loss he is anyway with his injury record.
