Pack tires on a heavy pitch so Smith includes a lightweight back on the bench and a forward as 18th man

It'll be good to see Severs too. He seems highly rated but always gets injured just when an opportunity arises.

Does it really matter? I highly doubt swapping Laidlaw for Litten or vice versa is going to have a huge bearing on the result?

Hull FC are massive

I’m sure the kids will give it plenty of effort tonight. Just hope the officials are kind to us tonight and send a few wire players off..

I can imagine Bonaire on holiday in Spain. He’d complain there’s too many Spanish and no English food in the hotel. Pool too cold, weather too hot.

Looking forward to the youngsters staking a claim.

Hopefully a few impress and pressure the 1st team lads.

Really hope Balmforth plays well enough to not be able to be left out.

Stavely and Severs too.

See what page we'll be on when the match finishes.

Absolutely this. I'm expecting a heavy loss but if some of our youngsters show that they are capable of playing at this level I'll be more than satisfied.

Sky putting Lane down as the one to watch?? Long night ahead!

Was just about to post the same, has SKY Sports graphics man been in the pub all afternoon
