Just reading an article on the Hull daily mail site and the Hull pack won’t be as big as the one which turned out at Headingley. They’ve got Satae suspended and Manu Ma’u is out for 3-4 weeks with a knee injury. They’ve also lost Savelio this week, so whilst they’ll still be strong, it doesn’t look like their lack will be quite as daunting as it could’ve been.

Well that evens things up a bit doesn't it. Their first choice forwards are much stronger than ours whilst our back line are much stronger than theirs. They've also hgot to play a tough game against Saints yet (weather permitting).

When do Wigan OFF LOAD

I know. It’s shocking. I love an offload.

I think against Toronto we did 4 offloads all game, all it does is make for a very boring game.

Low errors = Low Risk Rugby = Boring Rugby

The coach may be in the results business but it’s the entertainment business too.

In the reserves game Greenwood may as well have had a big sign saying I do not want to play any more. There were at least five forwards who were head and shoulders better than him today.

What Lam will change to improve the team we don 't know but my selection would be -
French,
Marshall, Hardaker, Hankinson, Burgess. Hastings, Smith. Bullock, Powell, Burgess, Farrell, Wells, Smithies, Bench - Byrne, Clubb, Havard, Leuluai.

We need a big centre strong in defence against the Hull backrowers so I've put Hanks in there. Bibby doesn't cut it defence wise for me.
Smith to start at 7 as his kicking game is excellent.
Tommy kicks straight to the fb or wing giving them 15 mtrs start on each set. We need big props all game so Partington is out as willing as he is. Isa would be in but he may cop a ban for the Springer incident. Wells to replace him. Smithies replaces Lockers.
Match Hull for size, with better backs and a kicking game that will be an asset to us and not them and a win could be very much on the cards.

I wouldn’t have George Burgess play first team until he’s proved his fitness in the reserves after his debut, I’d rather play Kilner who’s been killing it in the reserves and deserves his spot over Burgess and Flower.

A good tackle presumably...

Re: Team for Hull : Sat Feb 15, 2020 7:16 pm  

Think I’ll give up on the game if Isa picks up a ban for that.

Could do with Saints beating them up a bit and yes we'll need to go big.
Could really do with Greenwood having a blinder for the reserves today.

Didn't happen. Finished the cleanest player on the pitch.
