This is going to be one of the worst Derbies ever. Just seen their result tonight. Headless chickens but Dobbins to win a horrible game. Glad I’m off to Cornwall.

"Near enough" ie play plenty of times through out the season

Only really balmforth and hookem who were inexperienced at SL level in the 17

You have no idea what players are paid.

So your saying Houghton doesn't take over 100,000?

I'm 100% certain he will

Of course you're not, unless he's told you.

Really tough to pick a side, lots deserved to be dropped, but few will, alot to do with having no players available.

I'd go with
Shaul
Barron
Griffin
Wynne
Mcintosh
McNamara/Hookem
Gale
Satae (has to start, changed the game for a brief time)
Houghton
Fash
Lane
Sao
Lovodua

Brown
Evans
Balmforth
Severs

Although if he isn't going to bring on Balmforth until the game is over and give Houghton a break, there is no point in having him on the bench.

We go on about "injuries" but 14 of that 17 are near enough first 17 players

People talking like we had 10 academy players playing we didn't

We just have no hornes yeamans cookes coming through

Lane is average really but he's our best youngster we've brought through for 5-8 years

And that's the difference we've no quality coming through

Hookem championship player at best another jack logan .... what's Jack logan doing ?

Nothing

said he was average in 2016

Laughable to judge Hookem on these two games, he needs time, should have played earlier in the season when confidence was high and we had a better team out.

We’re now bringing young players into a team that is really struggling, rather than one which is doing well.

The interchanges have been baffling all season and we’re also really paying the price for poor retention decisions.

AP has been really quiet recently as well. Maybe need a call to arms. Don’t think signing announcements enthuse the supporters anymore.

Totally agree Dave. Even by Hull fans standards it's quick to try and destroy a half back (and a teenage one at that!) After 2 matches.

Hookem is a better player than McNamara by a distance. He just hasn't had the correct opportunity yet.

Doesn't take a Brian surgeon to work out that he's on over that easy

Do we have anyone back from bans or injury?
