Does anybody have any early team news for Sunday? I know the 19-man squad is named tomorrow but from reading the Hull KR board it seems that Matt King has said in a column in the Hull Daily Mail that Morley and maybe Monas might be out on Sunday (although Smith seems to think Mona's will be OK in the Guardian so I’m told). What's up with Morley? I know he had a shiner on ‘Super League Super Men’ tonight but doubt that would keep him out. I’m not even sure how recently that was filmed.

Anybody any the wiser?

It's live straight after the game (Barry and Terrys beer goggle challenge is obv filmed)

Think there was / is concern that he could have a fractured cheek bone.

Apart from Walker (who is back in training ) and Colbon ( broken jaw ) it appears our only other injury concerns are Briscoe and Clinton who both picked up knocks on Monday. SB looks like being ok, whereas JC has another fitness later today on an elbow injury.

Ok, so here's the 19-man squad. Good to see Moz and Monaghan make the 19 and also good to see Westwood back after missing out on Monday. Hopefully all are fit.

11 Louis Anderson
27 Vinnie Anderson
23 Ryan Atkins
4 Chris Bridge
6 Lee Briers
10 Garreth Carvell
17 Simon Grix
13 Ben Harrison
5 Chris Hicks
14 Mickey Higham
3 Matt King
1 Richie Mathers
9 Michael Monaghan
8 Adrian Morley
7 Richie Myler
2 Chris Riley
26 David Solomona
12 Ben Westwood
16 Paul Wood

So if all are fit who would you leave out to make way for Westwood's return?

Amazing how we keep getting these full squads.

1. Mathers
2. Riley
3. Atkins
4. King
5. Hicks
6. Briers
7. Myler
8. Morley
9. Monaghan
10. Carvell
11. LAnderson
12. Westwood
13. Grix

14. Wood
15. Solomona
16. Bridge

So, either Harrison or Higham. Harrison looked knackered by the end of Monday's game so maybe rest him. With Bridge on the bench, I think Higham is less vital.

Mathers
Hicks
Atkins
King
Riley
Briers
Myler
Morley
Monas
Carvell
Louis
Benny
Bridge

Subs:

Harrison
Higham
Wood
Solomona

Vinnie and Grix to miss out.

I'd play our strongest team available again and then consider giving players who need it a rest next week against Fev. Fev and Catalan over the next fortnight are very winnable even if we leave the odd player out.

I heard Grix is in hospital trying to get super glue off his hands.

Catalans very winnable?

Yes, why not?

Are we just being lucky or do you think the pre-season conditioning has made the difference?

Because they are a Super League team who we should NOT take lightly. If we need to rest players I think we should do it one a game (even if it is against the big boys) and not rest three or four against any team. Look at Huddersfield vs Salford.

I think Gordon Brown can take much of the credit.

No, I've no idea. We were missing Hicks at the start of the year and of course Briers missed a few. There must be an element of luck because even with tip top conditioning, you'd think we'd have suffered a break or two amongst the forwards.
