How Michaels and Yeaman get a game before Naughton is unbelievable.
This would be my team from that squad, but it wont be.
Shaul Micheals Talanoa Rankin Lineham Pryce Sneyd Watts Cunningham BTW Mini Sa Abdul
Houghton Thomspon Feka Whiting (Good to have him back)
Agree with you and others that this is kind of indicative of our problems. Selection just doesn't seem to be driven by performance. What reason do players have to perform at Hull? If you're an established player you'll play regardless, if you're a fringe player you'll perpetually used as a stopgap and little more. We're reliant on players' personal pride and competitiveness, but the last few years have shown us that we can't count it.

Also I'd have you over Howarth in the squad, there must an under 19's player better than him, who would love to be called up.
I wouldn't disagree about Naughton, but if Sa is going back to centre then he would probably drop out of the 19 anyway. I always assume that Howarth would always drop out of the 19, but he's played plenty at loose forward, so that, unfortunately, is probably why he's been getting picked.
Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?

Exactly right. Not claiming he's a world-beater, but he's come in and played well, and as you say we won every game. Dropping him for someone who has been underperforming for a while just sends out completely the wrong message.
Got to agree about naughton think he's done enough to play. Plus surely yeaman can't play. Cricky we argue on here all the time but yeaman is the one thing everybody agrees on
