This is a RFL issue, they issit that you name a squad 48 hours before the game, when all clubs including Wakey leave it until the last minute to do fitness years, Hull could have said nothing and just named the team an hour before kick off claiming injuries, so if anything they are being honest.

I still have you as favourites as we are awful away from home, we have only beat Rovers and Widnes away.

Who you have beaten away from home is irrelevant, this has a nasty smell about it and surely, wholesale changes are the very reason why the 19 man squad system was introduced.
There seems little point in announcing a squad that changes by more than 25% only 24 hours before the game.

I dont know if Hull have broken any rules here but, they have driven a bus through the whole squad announcement system.

Re: Hull next week : Sat Jul 21, 2018 5:23 pm  

we made a load of changes for the easter monday game v wakey after naming a stronger squad before hand, did you complain then? same v warrington in 2016 and leigh in 2017
no because it was weaker on paper, now its the other way you complain! cant have it both ways

stupid rule, but if minichello and miloudi have genuine knocks, we can bring in replacements

It is relevant if we are taking about who is favourite for game.

Loads of teams for this for the reasons mentioned abocmve, you are just crying about it as you have got yourself in a mess.

Like to say there's a massive difference between changing significantly a 19 man squad 24 hours before a game then rotating at Easter.

Re: Hull next week : Sat Jul 21, 2018 6:10 pm  

If you are allowed to make so many changes to the originally announced squad, why didn’t Hull name the four they have now included in yesterday’s squad and then replaced them today if they weren’t deemed fit after the captains run. That way no one would be calling foul.

There is no way the four who have dropped out are all injured and 2 of the four that have gone in today will have to play tomorrow unless yet further changes are made

no there isnt, its just the same, the day before, or even on the morning of the game players have dropped out

Re: Hull next week : Sat Jul 21, 2018 6:35 pm  

Lets just get stuck in tommorow!
Performance of the season required, straight from the kick off, forwards running hard, making good metres without silly errors and some inventive/creative play from the halves (why do we not kick over top, with such pace in centres/wingers ala Johnstone against Catalan!)
Its our game to lose, but being Wakefield, owt is possible

Come on Trinity!!

I agree with you Snowie. We've played players who weren't originally named in the squad so why the big deal. I get that we are all a bit 'twitchy' but if we're as good as we think we are we'll beat them with or without the players added to the squad.
