Finally caught my breath after the leeds match, still smiling!

Now on to Hull
This will be another very tough test for us
Hull are on the same points as us and will be getting close to putting a full strength team out

Who's likely to be back from injury this week for us?

Woody, Arundle, Ashurst maybe Randal?
Dave was only a last minute inclusion and was carrying an injury on Monday which is a worry

If Joe is fit does kershaw get another run out over MCB?

Player above all we need back is woods , horo and crowther played ok , but hull will be pretty much at full strength if Radford is to believed so can’t imagine we will have as much leeway as against Leeds

If I may be permitted to give my two peneth. This really is a coaches nightmare, do you risk all and and approach this as a winnable game or do you give ground and go for damage limitation.

As noted if Wood is back and maybe a few others and the rest appear up for it then fine. However if there is any doubt on any players fitness then to rush them back seems pointless to me with so many more winnable games remaining.

I don’t know what I’d do in CC position but I do know rushing players back for any game is risky but for games where you don’t have a near certainty of winning can prove costly down the line.

For me I’d go with the same team and see what happens. The only one I’d add I’d Wood or if possible Randell.

As for Kershaw let him run with it for now, he will dip but not straight away, whilst MCB has always wanted centre added to his CV so Now’s his chance. So long as we don’t get walloped then I’m happy because if I were Hull I’d have us down for revenge.

We won't be at full strength, still a number of injuries in the squad. Radford said that the 6 he rested against Saints will come back in

Who did he rest?

Still a pretty strong squad below

Hull FC: Faraimo, Tuimavave, Kelly, Sneyd, Taylor, Hadley, Minichiello, Westerman, Connor, Matongo, Manu, Scott, Naulago.

Interchanges: Fash, Green, Thompson, Litten.

As per OP
You will be close to full strength

Josh Griffin, Danny Houghton, Jordan Lane, Mickey Paea, Gareth Ellis, Jack Logan were rested from the Good Friday game. It was Green's first game for 9 months or so I think. Bowden, Shaul and Savelio injured. Fash, Thompson, Scott, Naulago will move out of the squad I think

did they play the last time we visited

Our side last time was:

Jamie Shaul, Ratu Naulago, Carlos Tuimavave, Josh Griffin, Bureta Faraimo, Albert Kelly, Marc Sneyd, Scott Taylor, Danny Houghton, Masi Matongo, Mark Minichiello, Sika Manu, Joe Westerman

Subs: Hadley, Thompson, Litten, Ellis

There will be a couple of different players in this time; Paea, Lane, Connor, Logan and maybe Savelio

Ryan Hampshire, Tom Johnstone, Bill Tupou, Reece Lyne, Ben Jones-Bishop, Jacob Miller, Danny Brough, David Fifita, Kyle Wood, Anthony England, Matty Ashurst, Danny Kirmond, Jordan Crowther

Justin Horo, Craig Kopczak, Tinarau Arona, Pauli Pauli

That was your side last time. I know you have lost a few (!) since that game - Johnstone, Tupou, Miller, Brough, Wood etc. Any more, or any likely to be back?

Should be a comfortable win for Hull this time.
Close to full strength and well rested, against a bare bones side, stacked with kids



Thankfully our cobbled together side still has the heart of a lion and we know that win or lose, it wont be through lack of effort and giving what they have for Chester.

Really cant see past an FC victory but, we love it when the odds are stacked against us.

Come on Trin !

Well we will either win, or get hammered. There is no in between for us!
