I understand the rationale of risking virtually none of the first team. Just disappointing to openly chuck Houghton’s testimonial. Felt like we’d short-changed Whiting when we did similar for his.

Indeed, that was a horrible day for fans but, more importantly, whiting. For this reason I won't be going on sunday. I can understand radford's rationale, but why bother playing rovers if you're going to field a 2nd string?

Because a decent crowd is assured regardless of the teams named.

Fwiw, a team with 4 stars and the rest squad players won't beat Rovers if they name a decent team, but I don't think it'll get whacked.

Forgot about Fash, him to start at prop over Osbourne.

Not a bad line up, with 4/5 who will be the 17 and another few on the fringes. If Rovers put out a similar side to the one that beat York, think they will win comfy.

Agreed. Got very drunk though at Feath as a result!

Re: Pre Season : Sat Jan 13, 2018 7:05 am  

Are all the players back in the country now after the off season?

Looking forward to getting back to the KCOM and watching some live rugby. Be interesting to see how the young lads do.

Re: Pre Season : Sat Jan 13, 2018 11:01 am  

Bought tickets online for the game tomorrow but one of our party has dropped out. Does anyone know how to get a refund on ticket? Can’t get in touch with anyone at hull F.C. which is disappointing.

Cheers
