Scully didn't look too good on Monday when i saw him be surprised if he plays Bibb & Pitts to stay in team Grix in for Sammy

Blaymire
Blanch
Gleeson
Atkins
Murphy

Martin
Brough

Wilkes
Drew
Snitch
Pitts
Ferguson
Demetriou

Sculthorpe
Moore
Latu
Henderson


Can't decide what to do with Grix, it's a conundrum... can't justify him at 6 in place of Martin due to the composure we have with him there, and since he's bulked up he might be less effective on the wing and I wouldn't drop Blanch or Murphy anyway. But he needs game time and he is a skilled player who needs to regain some confidence and form which he won't get from the sidelines and he is good cover for the backs. If he was on the bench it would be in the place of a valuable forward. Hendo isn't the flashiest player but he's been getting stuck in and he always seems to win the ground for a quick PTB which is invaluable with Drew and Latu in the side. If Scully doesn't play I'd argue we need the size so I'd keep Bibb in although it'd be nice to rest him since he's played more games than any of us would've expected of him. And we need those forwards to win us the ground.

Simply I don't see where to put Grix in at the minute.

This is a good squad, shows the strength in depth that we have this year, especially considering Obst is out, although his reason is nothing to do with form at all. Also considering that Winterstein is out and Stosic being unlikely to play again this year, this is a very good squad, just got to make absolute most of it on Friday, though.

Thought he was only out for 3 months?

Nope our squad is paper thin according to our resident Hull experts - had to laugh

He played 5 games at the end of last season, I didnt go to the reserves but apparently he didnt impress too much with his defence. There arent any players not playing well in his position. He's not a big gamble and he's not on a high wage and only signed till novemeber, I do agree with the point of "whats the point in bringing him over, if were not going to play him" but am sure kear will give the lad a chance.
