I understand Tom is injured as reported

I think a more immediate problem is that Liam Kay will not be playing on Sunday due to a ankle injury in training. The one player who can cover alternate positions competently within the team is missing.

Don’t see an issue to be honest. Hood is available and Bowes had a stormer in reserves last week.

Murphy and lineham on wings.

can’t see much difference to the team we’ve been putting out in most games. Murphy and lineham will be our starting wingers if we stay up and Lynne and hall will be our starting centres. Johnson is a big loss and he has when playing been instrumental in our wins, however he plays so infrequently am not sure you can call him a starting winger, more of a cameo player this season.

Bigger issue has been our total inability to create anything near the line, and when fafita isn’t playing our forwards can’t break a paper bag

Simple game plan for me , stop their props and wind Connor up, easier said than done I suppose but obviously it will be easier to wind Connor up than to stop those two juggernauts from gaining the front foot .Time to man up and get stuck in .If we don’t stop their momentum it will be a long afternoon at the office ,and Connor will have a field day .

Connor will no doubt be doing what he did last time and running behind play out wide to the centre and delaying a pass till he hits the line and draws defenders in. We need to be absolutely ready for his plays on the edges.

I’d rather us not concentrate on winding him up and us concentrate on breaking Hull down and shipping some points.

Blatant cheating right there!

It will be interesting to see if TJ gains fitness for the international against England. If so we just have to hope he doesn’t pick up another injury after this game.
