I think it looks like leeming will have to do another big stint with only Hinchcliffe who can sub him. I also think we will go with four forwards on the bench so we can do that-hull are a big side and I don't see how having a rookie FB out on the bench would be a useful substitution.

yeh struggling with who to put on that last bench spot! not an easy team to choose this week



brough helps leeming out on the field to give him a rest at times with going in to take the ball

I think with the squad we have your selection looks about right brearley. Agree with Jools though I'd maybe go for Tyler on the bench rather than a back. And again I'd prefer Darnell for Ormsby but can see Stone going for whatever experience he has available.

Oh you heard the interview too brearley- kruise Sounded very mature and grounded I thought. (I saw a different side to him and a few others on Saturday night though! )

Our bench is going to be very weak whatever. Mason has either done something to annoy Stone or he must be injured!

I'm not expecting to get the two points from this as I feel there's too much disruption to our squad. I'm just hoping that our youngsters get the opportunity to shine and show their potential.

Bentham the man in the middle. A strong ref is going to be needed I suspect. FC will probably try to bully the young kids.

I think we will either go 1 of 3 ways:



Team 1



Gaskell

Darnell/Ormsby

Cudjoe

Mellor

Murphy

Brough

Brierley

Rapira

Leeming

Ikahihifo

Roberts

Smith

Hinchliffe



Dickinson

Clough

Wakeman

M.Wood



Sam Wood

Ormsby/Darnell to miss



Team 2



Gaskell

Darnell/Ormsby

Cudjoe

Mellor

Murphy

Brough

Brierley

Rapira

Leeming

Clough

Roberts

Ikahihifo

Hinchliffe



Dickinson

Smith

Wakeman

M.Wood



S. Wood

Ormsby/Darnell to miss



Team 3



Gaskell

Darnell/Ormsby

Cudjoe

S.Wood

Murphy

Brough

Brierley

Rapira

Leeming

Ikahihifo

Roberts

Mellor

Himchliffe



Clough

Wakeman

Smith

M.Wood/Dickinson



M.Wood/Dickinson to miss

Darnell/Ormsby to miss

Probably not mate. Gaskell been doing well at FB and we have our 3 centres Cudoe/Mellor/Wood available. If Stone was going to put Darnell at FB infront of Gaskell he would of done it against Widnes surely?



If he plays I think it maybe on the wing. If he doesnt get his chance this week I really dont see him him playing at all this year - especially with Mamo coming back in the next couple of weeks. He deserves his chance more than Ormsby in my opinion.

just hoping for a repeat of last seasons result at home! that one was abit unexpected at the time



bentham as the ref is certainly no help for us but then which ref is!

Whoever plays all i ask is they give their all, i'm not one for using the teamsheet as an excuse, it's a squad game and we have strength in most positions now.

Leeming will be busy, playing in 2 positions!

Gaskell

Darnell

Cudjoe

S.Wood

Murphy

Brough

Brierley

Rapira

Leeming

Ikahihifo

Roberts

Mellor

Smith



Clough

Wakeman

Hinchcliffe

Ormsby

LF should have been Hinchliffe obviously

I think with the injuries and a big Hull pack O Brien would of been useful to have on bench.
