Wonder what his excuse will be re: Fages this week?

Thank the Lord Matty Dawson is back, he will put the fear of god into the HKR team.

McDonnell has a chance to play then? That could improve us dramatically.

Good to see Thompson getting the nod over Richards.

Lets hope McDonnell is fit to play...we need him! I'd personally prefer to see Richards in the 17 than Tasi on performances to date, at least Richards tries when he plays. Tasi has been our worst forward so far this season imo and offers very very little in both attack and defence.

From that squad I would pick this for Friday:

McDonnell
Makinson, Peyroux, Turner, Swift
Burns, Walsh
Tasi, Roby, Amor
Vea, Wilkin
LMS

Walmsley, Savelio, Greenwood, Thompson

I'm done with this club until we see major changes at the top level. I've got no passion for this current crop of players and the only player I've looked forward to seeing in Fages is sat in the stands every week while we have plodders doing sweet f##k all at 6 every week. Don't expect people agree with me.

I,m going to leave it to see where we are after the Easter Weekend, I was losing interest in general with Superleague latter end of last season with very little intensity in matches and entertainment. Probably not bother with a season ticket next season and become a fickle fan until we get some quality players. Might start to watch the academy and reserve lads instead, more chance of seeing Fages play in those games.

You have no chance of seeing Fages as he has not yet mastered the drop off pass.

Really surprised with the Fages exclusion, just can't put my finger on it. I'm thinking a communication/organisational issue is the reason why he's not been playing 6 or 9...

Great to see McDonnell back, if he's in the squad, he's good to go (ok, not as fit as the others, but 100% fit to play so straight back in for me).

But then the inclusion of Dawson....I mean KC really does keep us guessing. Do not tell me it'll be Dawson to centre and Turner to stand off - PLEASE NO!!!

I'm getting to that point myself to be honest.

I very nearly never bought my season ticket this year. I think it was the fages signing in the end that convinced me as I thought he'd bring some excitement.

Last year I was bored out my mind at games and very often wasn't even watching the game properly.

If this boring one man rugby carries on it will be my last season ticket.

Watching cas tonight just makes me depressed. Why can't the players named above in this squad play that way vs hull tomorrow?

Not picking Fages is a scandal and shows the way we are setting up to play tomorrow: dull.

I'm Not Sure about my Loose Forward, but the backs i'd like to see line up as follows:

FB McDonnell
RW Makinson
RC Peyroux
LC Turner
LW Swift

SO Burns
SH Walsh

And the pack:

P Amor
HK Roby
P Tasi
SR Greenwood
SR Vea
LF LMS/Wilkin

Int Walmsley
Int Savelio
Int Thompson
Int LMS/Wilkin

Dawson and Owens to miss out for me

If Hull KR beat us tonight, Cunningham needs to go. There's no excuses for this shocking defence and clueless attack.

Is there a single living person other than Cunningham who thinks Turner should play at stand-off?

Why can't we tackle any more?

Why can't Cunningham see that 4 one-man drives is the easiest thing in the world to defend, which is why we always make sod-all metres in a set?

Enough, already.

We look poor again. I'd be interested to see how many of our tries this year have come from kicks.
