3rd v 4th. Obviously we have a shocking record against Leeds so will be an extremely tough game. If Taylor and Ellis back but Griffin and Green out I'd maybe go:

Shaul
Michaels
Connor
Fonua
Talanoa
Kelly
Sneyd
Bowden
Washbrook
Taylor
Mini
Manu
Ellis

Watts
Thompson
Litten
Matongo

Like your centre combination. Also, is Logan still injured?

Weve seen recently that most of the back ups arnt ready (or will ever be). Get the strongest 17 out there as Leeds are back to being pretty good even if it means Houghton isnt 100%

And he does 10 minutes, worsens the injury and is then out 4 games instead of two? We'll have to agree to disagree. As with the Kelly thing, I trust the coaches and player to make the decision.

No offence mate, but you didn't go last week if you had you would have seen Fash have a good game.

Not sure I agree they will never be ready, still think the likes of Litten, Turgut and Masi will come on and benefit from these type of games long term, people said Green and Bowden wouldn't make it, but they look good SL players, but it took a few years.

It takes time, which is why the reserves games are so important.

I like the side, but I'd have Fash on the bench for Masi, thought he was the best of the youngsters last week.

Don't fancy us with without Ellis, Houghton and that bench, another game we could with Hadley.

Anyone know what the injuries to the various players, and did we get the treatment chamber Pearson wanted the VP's to help with?

Remind me what trophy we're playing for in our two Easter games? Attendances are stuck around the 11k mark because that's how many people want to attend, the pricing and poor state of the stadium (its filthy and showing its age) is a contributing factor. Also many stay away as they don't want to find the Allams.

Are they playing hide and seek

Damn auto correct, I meant FUND, been proven by the huge increase in fees for amateur teams to use the COMMUNITY STADIUM.

Re: Good Friday v Leeds : Wed Apr 12, 2017 8:55 am  

Although the Allam's are proving with their rip offs of amateur teams that their philanthropic claims are somewhat short on credibility I would assume that Hull's stadium lease is immune from their interference. Just avoid paying for anything other than the entrance fee, which lets face it, should not be difficult unless you have a strange addiction to vastly overpriced fare.
