Quite a few forwards fit to play again so will be able to hand some rests out
Biggest question mark is whether he plays Tim Smith if he is fit. You'd normally say anything good comes from him but with Miller playing well, and Locke taking fullback it's going to be a tough decision.
Locke struggled at times so he m,ay get a rest, though game time is what he needs really.
Looking forward to it again.........especially El Masa Loco's next rousing pre-match post.
I don't think Locke will be rested as you say he needs the match fitness, he did take a bang in the lower back so he might miss through injury.
Sounds like T Smiths knee is unpredictable and could be right for Sunday
Sio will be much better for the run and another couple of days working with his new team mates.
The pack is where the real options are beginning to appear with Ali Lauitiiti, Scott Anderson, Danny Kirmond, Dan Smith and Matty Ashurst all being ready to play. No doubt Washbrook will miss the game and possibly Kirke who picked up another injury so at least 2 changes to the forwards.
Main thing on Sunday will be how fresh the Coaching teams can get their players. For Hull it's a difficult one with another game after just 4 days rest coming on the back of a hectic 14 day schedule.
Wakefield will be fresher but might have some players in there who aren't fully match fit after lengthy lay offs.
Should be a good game
