Is there not a chance that say one of our players isn't in the 17 for the England vs France game, that they could play, as they would know they wouldn't be playing beforehand?

I think it has worked out well for us that the game is Friday and not Sunday.

Tony Smith has been able to plan all week knowing that we will be missing the 3 players.

If we had been playing Sunday and was hoping to include the 3 players and any of them got injured in the International game it would mean last minute changes; at least we don't now have that problem!!!

1. Chris Riley
2. Rhys Evans
3. Matt King
4. Ryan Atkins
5. Chris Hicks
6. Lee Briers
7. Richie Mathers
8. Paul Wood
9. Mike Monas
10. Ben Harrison
11. David Solamona
12. Loui Anderson
13. Vinnie Anderson

14. Mike Cooper
15. Mikey Higham
16. Simon Grix
17. Ben Evans

18. Lee Mitchell

what an odd suggestion

nooo i dont belive it is, i am a great supporter in giving the youth a chance in our club. This has been a downfall in the past. We need to give great talent such as the suggestions i have made an opportunity. With the players missing at the moment we should look at good young players from our academy.

You do that when you have injuries and they have to step up or when you get a really good cup draw when you play london skolars or something. Not when your playing a strong hull kr team when you need all your best players on the pitch and in the right positions
