Always thought pre-season games were to give the first team a run out Results don’t matter the players must be disappointed they will not get some gametime

Maybe Hodgson wants to see who can fill in the gaps in the early season first team match day squad, if/when the need arises.

Some of your posts tend to make me wonder how long you’ve been around? The only pre season friendlies I can remember, where they were taken seriously was the Eva Hardaker cup derbies. All other pre season friendlies tend to be a mixture of up and comings with the odd first teamer. I remember Superman’s testimonial at Fev, it was diabolical considering so many FC fans travelled to it. Hodgson knows what he’s doing and I’m sure there’ll be a few more first team back for Leeds, next week.

I maybe old school ,but what did today’s game achieve ?

Thought your young team showed a lot of guts and played well in the first half. Fash and Sao were the pick of the team, particularly Fash. When they were off you struggled a bit but that's to be expected.

Thanks, good to hear. Of our first choice 17 I think only Sao and Fash were playing so to be expected that we'd be on the wrong end of the scoreline. Hopefully a good runout for our youngsters and a chance for fringe players like Scott and Johnstone.

Hull FC: Davy Litten; Manoa Wacokecoke, Cameron Scott, Leon Stewart, Lewis Martin; Marcus Walker, Callum Rutland; Brad Fash, Jordan Johnstone, Aidan Burrell; Charlie Severs, Zach Jebson; Ligi Sao

to see who could step in if we get injuries, small squad again, also if covid hits again, these lads may need to be called upon rather than the club being awarded a 48-0 loss if rumour is correct!

We’re Bradford at full strength
