looks like Proctor wont be playing against us next week, red card in tonights game v warrington!

Hopefully we should see another win and a few changes to keep players fresh. I’d line up like this

1. Hoy
2. Swift
3. Sutty
4. Carlos
5. Litten
6. Trueman
7. Clifford
8. Sao
9. Houghton
10. Fash
11. Savelio
12. Griffin
13. Cator

14. Lovodua (get some game time and covers Half, Hooker & back row)
15 Satae
16. Taylor
17. Brown

I’ve not been overly impressed with Dwyer in D and his game time has been minimal recently so I’d give Joey another shot. If I was a bit more confident at the minute I’d also have rested sutty/Carlos for Scott.

Smith said he was planning on resting Houghton soon which I suppose means either next week or the Cup game at Cas. Assuming Brown and Savelio are still 'out'

Hoy
Swift
Sutcliffe
Tuimavave
Litten
Trueman
Clifford
Fash
Houghton/Dwyer
Sao
Griffin
Scott
Cator

Satae
Gardiner
Taylor
Dwyer/Lovodua

We shouldn’t make too many changes to a winning team. Don’t get complacent.

They have run both Wigan and Warrington close and seem to be steadily improving.

tough one this from underdogs twice to favourites biggest test of our wanting and desire so far, if your an fc fan you know which way such scenarios have gone in the past, big test of our new found togetherness for me..

Same attitude ,grit and determination need as Thursday to get this one won .

Barring something drastic happening then you won't see Savelio in a Hull shirt again.
Think Brown might get the odd game but he's way down the pecking order now with Gardiner in front of him.

So what's going on with Savelio ??

If the above is correct does that mean he is in the process of being moved on ?

Have no issue if decision made, sooner rebuild gathers pace the better. Just hope replacement on the agenda - our second row really lightweight & shallow - now McMeeken in would be a good upgrade for me.

Sad to see Swifty go, if that is true - think he has been consistently good, which few can claim. If true we need two wingers for next year.

What is it that savelio has allegedly done to stop him getting picked anyway ?

Get the impression Smith thinks he's a bit of a prat
