So Jowitt, Hood and Fifita are all back

Re: Hull on Friday : Wed Aug 17, 2022 11:35 am  

Certainly timely having Max back! At least we can leave the centres as they were. Will be interesting to see who gets picked in the back row and at 13.......

Right sided SR is the question mark now. All the forwards are props or middles, with the exception of Walker.

I'm tempted to say Crowther for his stamina and tackling but I'm not sure he's mobile enough. Walker could be a shout but I don't know whether he has any experience in the SR.
If not those then we are playing a prop and that would be vulnerable.

The rest of the team picks itself for me assuming they are all fit

1 - Jowitt
2 - Murphy
3 - Gaskell
4 - Hall
5 - Kershaw
6 - Miller
7 - Lino
8 - Whitbread
9 - Hood
10 - Arona
11 - Ashurst
12 - Walker
13 - Crowther

14 - Bowes
15 - Bowden
16 - Battye
17 - Fifita

Croft, Aydin, Butler and Evans miss out
I might swap Aydin for Bowes if we decide Crowther can cover again.

Re: Hull on Friday : Wed Aug 17, 2022 1:08 pm  

Hull look to be really short on backs for this one but, their pack still looks pretty strong so, this wont the the easy game that some seem to think.
However, IF we defend as we have for the past few games (apart from the first 20 v Catalan), we have a great chance of going back to back and just about securing our SL future.


Come on Trin !

Yes this is my worry. Personally I can’t see why we just don’t bring in Windrow who actually is a second rower. That way it’s only one positional change and at least he is familiar with the edge defence required and position.

I’m not sure whether it would be better for a middle or one of our backs to play at SR but who ever it is needs the mobility and defensive capabilities so we don’t get caught out on that right edge for numbers.

I also hope we don’t try and better then down the middle but try and expose their edges. If we can get some big men running out wide too early on it could be beneficial. I guess just play like we did against Wigan and be on it from minute 1.

Even as a Hull fan I can't honestly see anything other than a comfortable win for you though I'd love to be proved wrong but just can not see it.

Dont see how you can drop Aydin, he has been playing great. He should be second row in place of Walker, he started life in SR and chester turned him to prop. Plus we need a bit of size to match that hull pack. Oter than than I will go with that team

Re: Hull on Friday : Wed Aug 17, 2022 3:59 pm  

With regards players missing i think batch and shaul a massive more than kelepi i know jowitt returning is in some minds a offset of shaul missing but not for me there a huge difference between the pair.in regards second row did crowther not first come into side as a second rower all those years ago(maybe im wrong)but im also led to believe its a postion hall can cover and does want to play ,now if thats the case it 2 totally different choices crowther will be better defensive but hall will offer more in attack personnally think it will be crowther.
Reserves play saturday too so if that team gets announced before friday it may give some inclination of team for friday.
