CT to the centres means displacing Yeaman (as Griffin will have one of the spots nailed down), hence Bonaire doesn't want to even think about CT playing at 6 and the subsequent thought of Yeaman still being played at centre. It makes him feel sick. New 6, CT to centre, Yeaman released is his thinking.
Surely not? Even Bonaire must appreciate Yeamo's improvement this year. Anyhow, Pryce not in the 19, so Radders must have faith in Tuimavave(spell check this time)

You've written Tuimivave off after three and a half games in the position plus you maintain he had pre season at centre. Pretty sure it was mentioned he'd trained at six and Abdul at loose man. Heyho, AP and Radford seem to know what they're at. Our pack when fully fit is better than any other, Knockers team selection looks to me like it can do the job. I would go with Hadley starting at loose man, he is the quiet man of our side, he had an excellent game when picked at stand off in a late change, recently. We need to be quick off the mark, no daft penalties, wear them down, keep the pressure on for the full 80, tall order, I know but "I Bel13ve" we can do it, but I'm a glass almost full, type of supporter.
Suggest you get your facts correct Carlos Tuimavave trained all pre season as a left centre and started the season in that position. I like Carlos as a player but his best position is at left centre on the shoulder of Pritchard

WOW thats some theory Lets make it simple for you,i am not singling out Carlos Tuimavave.I like the player but for me his best position is at left centre where he has more open field to run and use his attacking flair.He also works well with Pritchard. Simple as that, nothing to do with Yeaman. Radford had the foresight to see Carlos as a centre and thats where he trained all pre season. A 6 is a priority for the club if we are to step up another level.

It was always Hulls intention to play Carlos at 6 next year.

Shaul Talanoa Yeaman Fonua Michaels Carlos Sneyd Taylor Houghton Watts Mini Manu Ellis
Washy Pritchard Bowden Thompson
Same team as I put up
Have to say its been a very very long time, infact don't think I've ever known a time that you looked at a Hull FC team and thought Feck me (in good way) at the interchanges.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

Hadley, as I've put before, I think is more suited to starting rather than providing impact off the bench.
It's a difficult decision whether to go with Washy in the 17 or not. I think Radford will put him in, but can see the reasons for leaving him out tomorrow.
I think Hadley has more pace, is a slightly better tackler and better footwork than Washy, i personally think he's being very underused since he came on the scene and needed to be really pushed hard as an individual.
Going with that starting 13 and the 4 on the bench is just an intent of all out warfare, whilst the halves can do their stuff if there is a dominant pack then that usually sets up how things go overall. Smash them from minute one, keep on smashing them with the rotation and like any side under a lot of pressure mentally & physically heads can drop, that Wakey/Wigan result was a prime example. It's all great in theory but come the day I think we would be massively dissapointed if Warrington win by anything more than a score as we are certainly more than capable of dominating in the forwards at least.
