Garbutt a big loss on form then.

Interesting to see he has picked up another mid-term knee injury. Not sure but think it was his knee that always saw him miss games at Leeds. Hopefully for his sake he can get it sorted once and for all.

maybe why he was released?

Don't you go suggesting sensible things like the club might have made the right call on this one. What about all the outrage we saw on here from various posters about letting our best forward go etc etc...?

We've got plenty wrong recruitment wise in recent years but I've just never been convinced that is the case with Garbutt. If he'd stayed fit for the entire year then absolutely would have been an improvement on what we had but I suspect the club knew that wasn't going to be the case...

Knee
Concussion
Wifes Pregancy
Hayfever
Cold
Stubbed his toe
Torn shirt

There was many reasons why he missed games........

was his toe unconscious?

Huge injury list for Sunday with a total of 11 players missing. Ferres, Peteru and Albert join. Walker named in 19 (which doesn’t come out until tomorrow).

Well another injury in the back row and Furner saying Walker back in & he is having to "look at options in the back row" which could well mean Sutcliffe back into the back row and Tui at 6. Joy of joys...

We have played well with that combo - infact our best two performances (Saints and Salford) has seen us with Walker at Full back, Tui at 6 and Sutcliffe at back row.

I would go with that combo for Sunday.

Its props where we are very very short for Sunday.

No Seumanufagai then?

Hopefully the team that beat them at Wakefield will inspire them in terms of how to perform with a depleted pack...

Who are the 11 Hurrell, Ablett, Ward, Ferres, Crosby, Peteru( suspension), Smith, L.Briscoe, Holroyd,Albert, Seumanufagai( not arrived yet)

With players missing hope Furner goes with

Walker
T.Briscoe
Watkins
Newman
Handley
Sutcliffe
Myler
Oldezki
Dwyer
Cuthbertson
Trout
Sutcliffe
Merrin

Subs

Parcell
Singleton
JJB/ Mustapha
Donaldson

Dupree in the 19?


Another opposition could be Lolohea to centre Sutcliffe in halves and Watkins second row Furner used Watkins there against Huddersfield until Hurrell was injured.

Hull kr have signed 32 year old former French International Antoni Maria from Catalans.

Combined Hull Academy is doing wonders for them I see.

At a guess, Ablett, Albert, Briscoe, Crosby, Cuthbertson, Dupree, Ferres, Holroyd, Hurrell, Smith, Ward injured and Peteru suspended.

Welcome to our(HKR) world. For our pack we are down to kids, and it,s showing. It,s getting ridiculous and very frustrating. Unless you have a large squad or get lucky with injuries it,s difficult to compete, and we haven,t got a large squad and have been unlucky with injuries, hence the beatings. Down to one prop against wire and no chance, and lost Garbutt in the warm up and our hooker during the game.
One player retiring due to injury this week, plus some backs missing.
With a relatively fit squad we would give any team a real test, but we don,t.
Whatever your situation, you have got to be favourites.
Our situation is a real problem.
Lets be honest, we are all worried about relegation...fingers crossed we avoid it.

Three young academy forwards in the team against Warrington but they were no match nowhere near ready
