CLUB ADVISE ST.HELENS RESERVE FIXTURE POSTPONED http://www.hullfc.com/article/45461/clu ... -postponed Hull FC advise that Saturday's scheduled reserve game against St. Helens has been postponed. The clubs had planned to play a reserve fixture at the KC Stadium following the first-team match on the same day, but this has now been postponed due to unforeseen circumstances.

I hope the club get an opportunity to schedule another reserve game in. Booked the Saturday off work to take in both matches and was looking forward to seeing the reserves after the main game as I don't get chance on Saturdays or sundays to get to games

nothing against Washbrook, but IMO Thompson is more effective when coming off the bench.

Completely different match scenarios suit these players. Thompson is great when our forwards are on top and his extra agility can make tired forwards look silly. However, when the opposing forwards are on top I'm not sure there's many better than Washy to bring on and slow the ruck down in the league, he's brilliant at it.

Basically, I'd have both.

Sorry to hear that George. Hope you're soon on the mend.

As good as Carlos played last week, we can't go into a game against a big side (offence intended, Rovers) with Washbrook and Carlos on the bench, in lieu of an extra powerful forward. If Carlos isn't starting at 6, he's either on the bench ahead of Washbrook or 18th man for me. Bear in mind, he might not actually be fully fit so Radford may choose not to select him to ease him back in.

Big fan of Thompson, so him on the bench alongside Bowden, Frank and Carlos/Washbrook is a bench that would rival most set of interchanges in the competition.
