Anyone heard any news for the derby in terms of injuries?

Hopefully Sneyd and Ellis are fit but highly doubt it. My team would be

Shaul
Lineham
Michaels
Yeamo
Talanoa
Rankin
Pryce

Feka
Houghton
Watts
Mini
Westerman
Thompson (or Ellis if fit)

Is paea injured

No I would put him on the bench. Start with feka imo with that big gusto attitude of his.

As with the last few times I've done this; this won't be Radford's team, but it's my team.

Shaul
Lineham
Michaels
Talanoa
Lancaster
Rankin
Pryce
Paea
Houghton
Watts
Minichiello
Westerman
Thompson

Green (if he's not fit then Bowden)
Feka
Cunningham (if he's not fit then Howarth)
Hadley

Blow for Hull FC. Marc Sneyd out for at least 4 week with ankle injury, Chris Green 6 weeks with MCL.

Not good news at all but I think Rankin and Pryce can do a good job. I have a feeling that if at all possible we may try and play Ellis for this one. Can you inject a rib injury for pain relief?

I might even be tempted to start Thompson as starting 13.

I fully expect Ellis to play. I wouldn't do it, but Radford is desperate and will jab him up and get him out there.

That is just a risk too far for me, if Ellis isn't fit to play without an injection then he shouldn't play, nobodies long term health is worth the risk.

shaul to come back in at fb, rankin to partner pryce, either lancaster or logan to partner michaels/talanoa! we need pace out wide


green and goulding up before the rfl tomorrow night, would expect only green to pick up a ban


playing ellis could make it worse, time for our forwards to step up and use their brains as well as brawn/braun (didnt know which way to spell it)
