Heard last night that they have been allowed to play in the Samoa vs Tonga game which is next weekend and will miss the cup game, anyone else heard this?

I imagine they put this in their contracts, hull would have hoped for a championship side, I would hope the players themselves would choose to stay for our biggest game of the season so far.

Great honour for both as captains. Ellis and Mini to come in.

I thought April fools was the first day of April not the last!

Exactly, Mrs B.

Sounds like this is happening which isn't great for us but we've signed two current international captains.

I'd far rather have this problem than still be signing players like Ben Galea or Ryan McGoldrick (no offence to those intended).

The reality is it's a pain in the backside for us. But a pack, injury-permitting, of Taylor, Houghton, Watts, Ellis, Mini, Washy with Bowden, Green, Thompson and Hadley on the bench is decent. A few in there will be desperate to get through to the next round too, time running out.

I don't buy this honour argument, I'm afraid.

As far as I'm concerned, next week's game at St Helens is the most important match of the season.

Missing these 2 players so they can travel half way round the world to play in a game between Samoa and Tonga isn't going to improve my chances of seeing a Wembley victory.

Time is running out for me as well.

You need to accept it's never going to happen. Then if it does, it's all upside.
