Assume this will be announced soon. Hopefully we'll have a couple of representatives - thinking Houghton and Ellis - but maybe a few others in contention? Shaul, Fonua, Tag?

Think the most we've ever had is a couple - does anyone know? Would be nice to get a few recognised.

Hull FC representatives

2004 Briscoe, Horne, King
2005 Cooke, Thackray
2006 Yeaman
2011 Briscoe, Yeaman
2013 Crooks, Lineham

Thackray in 2005 was something to behold. What a season he had.

A few journalists have been giving their opinions

Fonua
Gelling
Broughton (struggling a bit, maybe Johnston or Thompson)
Williams
Gale
Hill
Houghton (could be Clarke though)
Taylor
Currie
Bateman
Ellis

Announced Monday, I think.

There will still probably be 5 or 6 leeds players

Bateman is a top player but missed 10 games through suspension IIRC.

Played more games than Ellis, on the pitch he has been the best backrower this year,he should be in.
