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.
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
