a half fit Bill Ashurst would be an improvement on some of the recent dross we've had to witness.

Hull fans are saying nothing of the sort..we know full well that Ben Crooks (Lee's Son) is 50/50 AT BEST, Lineham, McDonnell & Yeaman are all deffo out, even Arundal who is back up for Crooks is a doubt & Crookes (with an 'e') has just being convicted of assault and our fullback is a kid with a grand total of 7 SL games behind him.. that's 4 of our 5 starting backline missing...
..Tickle took a heavy knock last week as did Holdsworth who had a large ice pack on his leg..If you can't beat us this Saturday even without a full fit/on form Tomkins & Lockers that would speak more about your club than ours IMHO

A number of posters on the Hull board have a few of the names you mention in the starting line up wether that is more in hope than expectation I guess we will have to wait until Saturday

Regardless who is in the team most Hull posters seem very confident of a win.

Lockers will play, no way will he miss this.

Our defence in the middle of the park has been woeful without him.

Playing SOL might be a big risk unless he is 100%. Couple that with lack of match fitness and you have a recipe for a potential weak link.

For the record.

Arundle is out.
Lineham is very doubtful
Yeaman and Crookes are doubtful

Tickle is ok
