If "pulled his back" is the same as being kneed in the back in a very late challenge which the "ref" chose to ignore then you are right on this one.

The difference is we would play Championship 1 & 3 and SL 12 at home and SL 9,10 & C2 & C4 away instead of SL9 and C2 & C4 at home with SL 10 & SL11 and C! & C3 away.

i was thinking this about anderson (and ali until today).

anderson was "supposed" to be ok for the next game after his concussion - not played since.

+ any news on lengths of injuries for tim smith and locke?

I think there are a couple who are carrying "other" knocks than has been stated.
Kirmond, T Smith & Anderson i am told have been playing while carrying knocks & niggles for most of the season. Why bother playing them now and risking it? We need to make sure they are ready for the business end of the season.

It will be like getting new players in in some cases

Think it may be starting with 9 sets of fresh legs in the 19.

Heard Godinet out 4 weeks, knee. Kirmond shoulder op Monday.

Losing Godinet would be bad.

Always expected a Hull win, but seeing the squad put out, Christ! Tansey and Miller halfbacks.

Just seen the squad on Twitter, seems a strange team, are we resting players so BS can see who our better players are, can see a kicking here.

I just saw the team, loads of changes from the original squad, Tansey and Miller are at half back, Jowitt gets a start, no Annakin, Simon or Godinet, Ryan in the team too by the looks of it, they just had the teams on Sky then took it off again?

Jowitt, Johnstone, Arundel, Lyne, Riley, Tansey, Miller, Kavanagh, Howarth, Walker, Ryan, Ashurst, Sio
Interchanges Lauitiiti, McShane, D Smith, Crowther

First we have players rested, now we have players dropping out here there and everywhere!!!

Cracking start Ashurst in 3 mins Hull 0 Trinity 6

6 apiece
