Wouldn't mind seeing Douglas get a run, only other question is will Peet go four forwards on the bench, can't see any reason to flog Thompson/Havard/Ellis for 80mins this week.
I'd go Hampshire on the bench to give O'Neil a breather plus cover for backline emergencies

Eckersley
Miski Keighran Wardle Marshall
Farrimond Smith
Thompson O'Neill Havard
Nsemba Farrell Ellis

Mago Dupree Walters Douglas

I'd look to give Douglas some minutes from the bench if possible and use him as cover for the backs. Mago could do with some longer minutes as well just to get match sharpness in to him after some really limited spells recently.

Surprised Hill doesn't get a game. Seems a good chance for him today.

I think he was disappointing carying the ball last week and Peet has given him a few areas to improve and took him out the 17. Motivating him to be better to take the shirt he wants

Seems overkill on the bench again with 4 forwards. We should look to limit the minutes of guys like Thompson, Havard and Ellis today IMO and give longer stints to the lads coming from the bench. Those guys on the bench need minutes and the first 3 could do with being freshened up for the next few weeks.

Imagine if we put a few on them we’ll start to rest. I haven’t watch many FC games so not sure what’s happening with the team so looking at their bench I only know King an he’s poor

They're playing a lot better recently, with far more effort and commitment. I don't think it'll be easy today and any sort of win will do me. We don't seem to enjoy playing in the city of Hull much.

Embarrassing half unfortunately.

We have them in us, Hull KR comes to mind. Hopefully come out this next half and come back

Mago by the week is getting worse. Not sure what that attempt at a tackle was but equally unsure why we haven’t just been awarded that try when Wardle isn’t held

Our forwards look totally ineffective, our starting props were really poor for some reason and what Mago was doing when their prop went through him I have no idea. Too many unforced errors and poor defensive reads as well. Peet has a lot of work to do with them in the break - a few rockets are needed because there are some really lazy efforts out there.

In the grand scheme of the season it’s unlikely to matter too much but these displays are so frustrating. We just turn up with a dreadful attitude, bordering on disrespectful and It’s a challenge Peet should be laying down to them, to make them a thing of the past.

We need to look at the half back situation if we aren’t going to give Farrimond any responsibility, it’s bringing the absolute worst out of Smith who is a sitting duck and buckling under any pressure.
