excuses already lol....hopefully its a good game and the best team will win***



*** unless the ref is biased against us

..hopefully its a good game, reffed fairly and nothing too contoversial

Crookes was warming up with the backs on Friday night so I don't think he can be far away at all, although he wouldn't be in my 17 anyway.



Surely O'Meley won't get banned, so Whiting will come into the back row with Green to take his place on the bench, Crooks to come in for Yeaman and Pitts to come in for Heremaia.

Lineham only played because of Crookes injury, but even if he was fit I can't see him pushing Lineham out of the team in current form. I wouldn't say having Lineham in the team instead of Crookes is any disadvantage.

I thought that when i watched the highlights.



I've got a feeling you will win this one, would be nice if both teams (+ rovers) go unbeaten until the derby

Brough will kick Briscoe to death if we don't get hold of him, that is for certain!

Looks like we should have a competitive team, Crooks in for Yeamo, Green for Tickle. Like to see Cunningham called up but otherwise Pitts for Heremia.

#HullFC coach Peter Gentle says Crookes, Crooks & Green all fit to play this week. Confirms Heremaia doubtful. Holdsworth ready for 80 mins
