The York friendly starting 13 seems to be Hodgsons thoughts so Its looking like Lane will start at 13 but i agree he is better playing out wide

If thats the case and Taylor is fit then Satae will start in the front row with Sao and Bowden on the bench with Cator and Brown.

No place for Johnstone if Cator on the bench

To be honest it makes little difference whether we start with Lane as no doubt Cator will come on for Lane and Lane will come back on at some stage for Savellio or Mao

not a chance

Just listened to journo Matthew Shaw on the radio, in his view Hull FC were the stars of Round 1.

Fonua seems like one of them players who struggles with fitness and isnt just there yet which is why he was almost getting used like a forward at times against Hudds - give it two or three games and he'll be on fire and back to his best imo - Faraimo is a poor mans Fonua imo

I was happy with what Fonua did tbh. Yes he made a hash of that kick which could have easily cost us a try, but apart from that he did some good work. Did some hard yards with the ball and didn't get out of shape defensively. Not to mention his pass during that play on half time. I also saw in some stats that he was 3rd for distance covered during the game. Behind Houghton and Sneyd. So he isn't shirking. He's getting about the pitch and putting the work in which is great to see when he looked so unfit last year.



Faraimo will get a chance at some point and it's up to him to take it when it comes. But I thought both wingers performed well and I wouldn't fix it if it isn't broken.

Fonua certianly didn't look unfit to me, also saw the stat that he was 3rd in the list for distance covered. Thought he had a solid game, definatley nothing to nit pick over after a good result.
