Re: Hull v Saints 16th Feb : Fri Feb 14, 2020 12:05 pm  

1. Jamie Shaul
3. Carlos Tuimavave
4. Josh Griffin
5. Adam Swift
6. Jake Connor
7. Marc Sneyd
8. Scott Taylor
9. Danny Houghton
11. Josh Jones
13. Ligi Sao
16. Jordan Johnstone
19. Masi Matongo
20. Brad Fash
21. Jordan Lane
22. Josh Bowden
24. Mahe Fonua
25. Connor Wynne
26. Kieran Buchanan
29. Gareth Ellis
33. Ratu Naulago
Charlie Patterson Lund

So that's Ma’u, Satae, Savelio, Faraimo, and Kelly missing from my 13 starting lineup.

Reading between the lines, it looks like there may be others (backs) doubtful as well.

Re: Hull v Saints 16th Feb : Fri Feb 14, 2020 12:17 pm  

for this match I would be tempted to move griffin to second row fonua to centre, Bench Masi, Bowden, johhson, lane/fash

Re: Hull v Saints 16th Feb : Fri Feb 14, 2020 1:28 pm  

Amor, Walmsley and MAkinson all named in the squad - plus Knowles who was named last week but didn't play.

Not sure whether they will all play but good news nontheless. Roby/Percy/Coote still big misses but much more like it this week.

Shame to see Hull missing so many - would have loved both at full strength.

Don't you get reduced interchanges if you tinker with the announced squad now?

Re: Hull v Saints 16th Feb : Fri Feb 14, 2020 1:56 pm  

With a few big forwards out for us, let's hope storm Dennis does its worst, and gets the game called off.

Re: Hull v Saints 16th Feb : Fri Feb 14, 2020 2:06 pm  

Something like

Shaul
Ratu
Carlos
Fonua
Swift
Connor
Sneyd
Taylor
Houghton

Yes, but I'm not suggesting more tinkering, just that Buchanan, Wynne and Lund are unexpected additions to the squad, so maybe they are covering for players we thought would play?

Strong enough squad to get a result although it will be really tough. Kelly savelio farimo due back next week. COYH

Bench is light but it's still a strong 13. Id be happy with a comitted performance that proves we've turned the corner and not get a good hiding. Pinching the 2 points would be a bonus.

Bookies can't split them
10/11 - Hull
10/11 - Saints
