I appear to have missed this but what’s the situation with regards to Obst?

He's flown back to aus because of a bereavement (sp)

He's gone back to australia for the funeral of the young aussie rugby union player, Shawn MacKay who died last week!

Sam was a close friend!

Hulls Squad

No R.Horne or King.

Hall, Calderwood, G. Horne, Yeaman, Washbrook, Thorman, Dowes, Lee, Thackray, Manu, Tickle, Radford, Berrigan, Burnett, Maloney, Moa, Houghton, Whiting.

Grix and Bibb to miss out for me, not knocking bibb, just think and Pitts has a bit more pace, and Scully offers mors options with ball in hand.

It really is harsh on Grix, because before his injury he was one of the form players so far this year!

Just goes to show how strong the squad is that he's now struggling to get in the team at all!

Pitts and Grix to miss out for me.

This Squad is looking reaaaaal good..!

I`ve just noticed that Hull have only named 18 players, no Reardon, King or Richard Horne. Agar has said that Reardon won`t play, the other 2 have gone for scans. I won`t lose any sleep if neither of them play.

I'd be tempted to give Grix a chance in this game, he only had one bad game against Saints and can cover more than one position!

Grix was avarage against Leigh aswell.........agree though that he deserves another chance because of his versatility. But most others are performing well at present, so who do you drop/rest?

Drew can not do 80mins, or at least you will not get the best out of him if he does! Latu really speeded up the play for us on Monday.......and against a tried and injury hit Hull team this could be key!!!

Drew did 80 nearly every game before his shoulder injury against Hull KR???

I agree, Drew is better when we can spell him...and Latu does change the game when he comes on.

But like you said, this is an injury hit and tired Hull team...Grix should be fresh and raring to get on the pitch.

This could be a good game for him to come back and try and get some form back...he can always slot in at hooker for Drew when he comes on.

p.s. Isn't it great that we finally have a squad where we can have these types of discussions!
