Jake.....Jake.....are you there Jake?



Just let us know you are ok. Please we're getting worried now

Hull's injury ravaged squad for the derby;



1. Jamie Shaul

2. Bureta Faraimo

3. Carlos Tuimavave

4. Josh Griffin

5. Fetuli Talanoa

7. Marc Sneyd

8. Scott Taylor

9. Danny Houghton

12. Mark Minichiello

16. Jordan Abdull



17. Danny Washbrook

20. Brad Fash

21. Sika Manu

22. Jez Litten

23. Mickey Paea

26. Jordan Lane

27. Jack Downs

29. Masi Matongo

35. Liam Harris

So only Connor missing as fully expect Kelly to play. Bookies giving us 14 point head start. Quinlan 18-1 1st try and is the favourite for us.Hes normally 10s? They can spin it all they want but that is a very strong team and 12 or 13 of strongest 17 are included. Crikey

so you don't include green, westerman, Hadley, Bowden, as well as connor and Kelly, ok,

Kelly will play.Green and Bowden are average props.Hadley replaced by Manu which on paper is a huge upgrade and Abdull can more than fill in for Westerbum at 13. So 4 or 5 from best 17 missing.Hardly the epidemic you lot have been whinging about? Only Connor is genuinely quality of those missing. Looking at those 2 squads it looks like we are in for a long night .The other side of that is if we do win then you would have to conclude the team want Radford out? We will see

In all honesty this season when Rovers have that amount of players missing it isn't a crisis it's the strongest line up of the year.

squad numbers say it all, lumped on fc at -12 don't like doing it but really pinching money I think , a months wages or a divorce no brainer really

Well that’s quite some absentee list we have:



Carney

Carney

Mcguire

Lunt

Shaw

Vaivai

Addy

Lawler

Tomkins

Mose

Heffernan

Greenwood

Johnson

Minns



Bookies have Hull by 14, I’m having some of that as our kids/fringe players face a Wakefield backlash. In the meantime our motivation comes in the form of the removal of all our points when the round concludes.

bet 365 have -12 at the moment not that it matters much but better odds

Hull by 30 is more realistic given the squads announced, with Albert Telly to come in as well.

Purely from a betting view Hull do look a good bet

do you have the carney twins playing for you then ?
