I'd like to see two props on the bench against Catalan as they have a very big physical pack. If Kingy isn't right it would be good to see what Maloney can do before Moa and Luaiki arrive

Just pointing out where he has played in the recent past.

Not bad for a scrum half, eh??

TBH i'm just a big fan of Tom and am massively disappointed that things don't seem to be working out for him.

Its a shame for Tommy but he also has to take some of the blame for that, sometimes young kids with potential neve realise it. Tommy should move on and get himself some regular rugby.

I'd go with two props on the bench plus Houghton and Manu. If Whting was available then I would have him on the bench ad play with three props but its a straigt choice betwen Lee, King and Maloney, with King being doubtful then Maloney would get my vote.

I think he would get my vote too even though i haven't seen him play, but i think a good time to give him his super league debut against catalan, if he's ready a'course

I love to know how we have ruined him, he isnt good enough for halfback, as he hasnt developed enough in that position. Also we have better players at hooker and LF where his best positions are.

I think Tommy's career be best suited if moves away from Hull.
