Who is available, what is your team, are you going and do you care?
I think I will go, only because I have a pass and nothing else better to do, but just can't say I have looking forward to it and even a if we win, I still don't see me being excited by it at all. Lose and Radford has to go.
Talanoa, Yeaman and Ellis look like they are out.
So this would be my team.
Shaul Lineham Rankin Micheals Naughton Pryce Sneyd Paea Houghton Green (FFS split the starting props up) Mini Westy Abdul
Watts Bowden Whiting Hadley.
Drop Sa and Thomspon who have both been really poor the last few games.
Lets hope that Houghton survives and doesn't collapse from being over worked.

Smith says he is going to make major changes to Wakefield squad to. 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.

Hull will play much better if Pryce and Sneyd both play without question. Whether that will be enough to improve us to the level required is debateable.

I've almost got to the point where I don't care. Which is pretty desperate stuff, but I've got so much other stress in my life right now that I really wonder if I need any more.
Some 150th anniversary this turned out to be. Not that the club has made much of that recently anyway.
Really don't know where we go from here.

Goes without saying we need a win like never before. Another defeat on the back of last night and the season could spiral completely out of control.
There is a real danger we could find ourselves playing in the middle eight's out of form with zero confidence (both players and fans). From there it is a short step to the unthinkable.
Never mind the coach, the players need to grow a pair, show some backbone and stand up and be counted.
For me, this coming month could define the entire future of Hull Fc. Make no mistake, we are a heartbeat away from the biggest crisis we have faced since the very dark days of 1999.
Somehow, someway, we need to find those 2 or 3 wins needed to secure our spot in SL 2016. Do that and we can put 2015 in a box and forget about it. Failure to find those wins, coupled with the resultant lack of form and confidence, could lead to a nervous few weeks in the short term with even greater problems long term.
Sunday afternoon feels like we've arrived at a crossroads, not just for 2015 but also for the next ten years in regards to where the club may go.
I will be there and I think we will win, but the underlying problems which continue to bedevil the club will never be far from the surface and, until someone at the club exhibits real leadership, they will never be far from the surface and we will continue to return to this scenario time and time again.

We have proved this season, we can and put in decent performances, it's now up to the players and coaching staff to get us back to that level, starting on Sunday.
