Houghton also out for the season, looks like Johnstone will be our starting hooker, but hopefully that will mean Balmforth gets some game time from the bench, thought it was strange he didn't play for the reserves. I ld rather try Smith at hooker personally.

Connor
Litten
Wynne
Mitch
Barron/Martin
McNamara
Gale
Sao
Smith
Evans
Longstaff
Lane
Fash

Taylor
Satae
Balmforth

NCL with West Hull to a SL 21-man squad in less than 12 months for Will Gardiner

Maybe the club should ring Jacko and ask if he still has a pair of boots and fancies a game.

With Connor back I agree with you though about moving Smith to 9 with Balmforth on the bench as we are in serious need of movement and speed which JJ sadly doesn't possess.

The hit that has resulted in Ma'u breaking his arm has resulted in a 3-5 game ban for Hood. So, in theory, an iron clad Red Card should have been awarded. 45 minutes against 12 men could have been a different result

Once again shows the total incompetence with on field and off field officials when big incidents like that are missed yet again even more so when serious injury occurs to the player.

Crikey that is a young squad.

Some good minutes for some young kids over the next couple of games. Shame its in a team at such a low ebb but should still do them good.

The fact is was on TV makes it even worse.
For all we've been poor we have had very little fortune lately.

Just seen Kane Evans in town and he said he is playing both games. I'd just seen the news about Liam Hood so told him. Said he hadn't seen the ban but Ma'u was livid in the changing rooms about the hit and had to be calmed down. Evans said the refereeing here is appalling, likely to go home and play reserve grade after next year

Let's be honest we shouldn't be offering Evans a deal after is current one.
