I'd go with that but with Mitch on the bench over Griffin, I'd were selecting players on form, in fact I'd have Wynne on the bench as utility option.

Griffin should be dropped altogether until he ups his workrate and gets some fitness into him
If you watch the Saints match highlights on FC live and Saints last two tries Griffin just couldnt be bothered and looked totally disinterested.
I would still play Wynne at left centre with Swift.Its a pity about Mitch as he has showed he is a very good defender and can make some metres.He kept Leutele quiet and not many centres can say that.

My record on predicting Hull results this season is none out of many. So let's keep it going!

Wigan to win by a few.

I agree Dave but is Hookem ready to come in against a top tough side like Wigan I don't think so IMO yet.

Why not played against Wakefield away and stood out in a heavy defeat and played for Whitehaven in a local derby.

When will he be ready, Dodd and Lewis were playing the odd game at his age.

Could he be able worst than Reynolds, even if he is as bad at least he his getting experience for future years.

Just see benefit long or short term playing Reynolds, been absolutely awful this season and not great last year.

Noticed that myself inexcusable. If he's that unfit after coming off the bench he needs reserve rugby till he's upto scratch

The problem is that BH spoke about Hookem at the early part of the off season and said he hadn't realised how good Hookem was and could have played him more than he did. Yet now the season in underway and with the poor showing from the two main halves (performance & discipline) and with McNamara injured he has still yet to play Hookem and give him the opportunity he spoke about in the off season. Early season he was injured admittedly but he is now back fit so deserves a shot.

Unless both Gale and Reynolds up their all round game then we are in trouble in the halves plus and considering their experience their stupidity in the area of discipline has cost them game time as a partnership which in not good enough.

Cam Scott and Evans back this week.

Pretty healthy squad at the moment.

Cator, Savelio and Fash out. Unless I've forgotten anyone?

Not from the theoretical first choice XVII although Ben McNamara is still struggling with his back injury.

Pretty healthy squad at present though as it stands.
