Only Taylor and Houghton definitely out for this weekend let alone Cas game, everyone else has trained fully since Saturday. Faraimo may not play as a precaution which is why Naughton brought in. Tag said his recovery will probably take longer than Gale as the flight will cause some swelling to reappear but no problem with flying home

I understand Mini,Taylor and Houghton will not play.
There are several playing with knocks but the problem is everyone wants to play in this match.All the squad including Litten and Lane will get some game time which will limit playing time for several senior players.
I dont understand why Watts is playing.He is clearly carrying a leg injury and is running at half pace.He never once opened up in the true Watts running style against Wigan.
I would have thought if it is a Hamstring problem as reported it would be better to leave him out until it fully heals.

...just because players are in the squad doesn't mean they'll play, everyone who travelled has been picked, bar 3 obvious exceptions.

Had some good news about my calf today, I'll still be missing for a while but not as bad as first feared

Naughton's not playing now - injured! Is there a cricket scoreboard at this stadium?

More good news in the HDM:

Houghton injury updates
There was some rumblings earlier this week that hooker Danny Houghton had received some positive injury news and Radford confirmed it post-match.

Initially thought to have been set for eight weeks on the sidelines due to a torn calf, Hull could be looking at four or five weeks after scans revealed a grade one tear.

"Hopefully it will be four to five weeks rather than seven to eight weeks which was similar to last year. He came back from the scan with a grade one," Radford told the Mail.

Good news. Could be back for Catalans at the KCOM the week before Easter, then.

Just seems so flat compared to last year.

Seem to have lost the spark in attack and defence nowhere near. Sure they will improve but it will take time.

We've got enough issues off field to cause issues - add the disjointed start to the mix.... All isn't well at the moment in Cas Vegas

What's this about? I see Wigan are meant to have signed Hardaker long term.

If you can't beat a team who have just landed back in the country from a 24 hour plane journey then you really do have problems

Mr Hardaker is the side show.
Let's say there's a shake up behind the scenes. CEO "retiring" etc....

Give yourselves plenty of time to get to Cas today Folks. Jcn 32 is laughable every Saturday. Congestion is ridiculous

Enjoy the game
