Long old week coming up of team selection speculation (both sides) including 13 timely boosts for Leeds.
Our record against Leeds is pretty much a shambles, but the emotion of last year's heroics will surely act as motivation to the current group of players.
If this is to be the end of our CC tenure, there can be little doubt that it's been a beacon of delight in the experience of Hull FC fans, the best and most celebrated campaign in a generation and for many the highlight of the FC-supporting "career". The iconic Tackle 52 moment will remain with most until their dying day.
So how will we line up If Kelly is back (and there have been some colourful rumours as to his absence on social media) I'd go:
Shaul Fonua Connor Tuimavave Talanoa Kelly Sneyd Watts Houghton Taylor Mini Manu Ellis

Shaul and Kelly out gives us a dilemma at FB - who does Connor cover?

Leeds should have a full team out seeing as they were allowed to play a team of youngsters the other night.It seems strange to have that many injuries and even stranger to know they will all be fit for the semi at weekend.

and most of those missing 13 were suffering from some form of concussion injury!
instead of spouting bull, mcdermott should've just been honest and said he is resting his team for the semi final, fans arent daft!

Probably won't be 13 but we obviously will have a large portion returning.
Galloway is out for the season and Burrow, Delaney, Sutcliffe and Ferres have been injured and missing for a few weeks now and not sure if we'll see any of them next weekend.
Watkins, Hall, McGuire, Moon, Parcell, Cuthbertson, Ward and Singleton should be back in though.

Fantastic to once again be in a major semi final.
That would be my side, but think Radford will swap Griffin and Connor
Galloway, Burrow, Delaney, Sutcliffe and Ferres will all be injured and won't play. Leeds also had Hall and Ward out with concussion they'll return. So that supposedly 13 rested for Saturday suddenly becomes only 6 rested.
