At least he was close enough to try and make a tackle. I think that's the point with Finn even before we start discussing last tackle kicks.

Indeed - there aren't may HB's in SL who will make and complete the tackle as 1st man in; they're little more than a speed bump until the big fellas arrive. Always makes me chuckle when people call them for not smashing props and 2nd rowers - I'm hardly an expert, but even I know that it's literally not their job.

That said - I do agree with your main point - Hampshire will get there before Finn every day of the week.

I am proud of our lads, 5th with the injury hit season we have had. I don't think we have played 1 game with what I would class as our starting 17

Too right as well, so you should be. In the end you should see the benefit for the youngsters who've been thrown in at the deep end.

We've got potentially a few more than that.

The key word was potentially.
Every player has the potential to play or, not to play.

The reality is that Hull will have a few more missing from their strongest 17 than Wakefield (I hope )

Re: Hull next week : Mon Jul 16, 2018 4:54 pm  

Whoever they put out will be a capable side, the won't be just rolled over.
Its not gonna be that easy to homework up on everyone, they're not all seasoned players with a wealth of previous to study, in that respect there'll be an unknown factor.
Unknown factors can turn round and bite you on the 4r5e sometimes.
I expect us to be well prepared for it, nobody....the players, the staff, the fans, NOOOOOBODY wants to go to a last do or die game at Shudds.

So that is our starting 1-7 and 4 of our pack. We are desperate for a win, we need to keep a reasonable gap to Warrington in 4th



We are not falling for that crap, at least half of those, if not more will play against us. We are always the team people seem to get their injured back for. Last week against Leeds was a prime example of that.

Only Faraimo will play from that list
Kelly and Connor definately out.Connor out now for the season
You can add Paea now to that list as he is a doubt.
Cant see anything but a Wakefield win against what will definately be a young reserve Hull team

I can see some pretty decent odds to take a big stake for a Hull win. Will soften the blow a bit if we fail but ideally I'll enjoy losing the cash.
