Not sure Last dropped Houghton as such. He missed four consecutive games in the October. I can't remember if that was an injury.



He played every other game, although he was mainly used off the bench.

I've not seen any Academy games would you say Martin is in front of Barron now dave for a wing spot?

All this talk of he hasnt got the balls to drop people. What a sac of s hite. He picks who he thinks will do the job. His jobs on the line in the long run so he thinks yea keep playing my Bessies. He might make wrong team selections definitely. He's slowly but surely weeding out the players and moving us in the right direction. It's not a quick fix. Some on here would want a new coach every time we got beat.

I dunno, it would take some balls to pick a player who you think isn't the best choice. Deliberately picking a worse team would be very bold.

If you asked everyone on here to pick a 17 most would be different. He sees what goes on and who in his opinion plays. I honestly believe we are going in the right direction albeit a very bumpy ride. IMO we will get in the top 6 which is an improvement. Nevertheless we are well off a top 4 team ATM.

I've won 2 tickets on the Sky VIP. You guys know where I would usually collect from and if I would be able to sit with the Cas fans?

Yes I would, got natural strength, reminds me of Briscoe.

Sounds promising hopefully he will get a chance this season

Put in an earlier thread, Connor is a slight possibility for Friday. Will probably come too soon for him, Toulouse next week is a more realistic target.

Connor back? Shaul gone to Wakey

Feki has been with us 3 years and only had 3 injuries in this time

At least it's not going to be sweltering like today

Unfortunately looking like low thirties next Friday evening in Toulouse.

Connor is back. Still a battered and bruised looking side.



No Satae, Manu.



No Shaul too. Guess he'll be announced by someone on loan soon

JJ/Hookem

With the squad for Cas released Satae is a big miss for us along with Mau still missing, little disappointed no Balmforth. Honestly think Houghton needs resting so I'd go



Walker

Simm

Mitch

Wynne

McIntosh

Connor

Gale

Sao

Lovodua

Evans

Lane

Longstaff

Fash



Taylor

Brown

Laidlaw

Hookem/Johnstone



Or possibly have Lovodua at 13 with Johnstone at 9 and Fash on the bench in place of Laidlaw

I'd be tempted to go Joey backrow, Brown LF and Longstaff on the bench for JJ

Wouldn't surprise me if Shaul departs and rejoins the band with his mate at Cas. Shame his Hull career seems to have ended like it has.

pity bl--dy sky put their oar in and moved game.smith may have played on sunday.

If he ends up at Cas then it shows Radders has learnt nothing since leaving us...

They've always had it in for us that SKY lot!

Not sure Connor will actually play but if he does I'd go

Houghton

Quite worrying still no Mcnamara especially considering Hodgson has mentioned he should be good to go the last few weeks

He tweaked his hammy in the week leading up to the Magic Weekend

A bit daft of hull this. Cas are struggling for fullbacks and hull decide to strengthen their biggest rival for the final playoff spot by loaning them shaul instead of keeping them struggling. Should have shipped him off to wakey for the rest of the season.
