what would your squad be?
i would keep the same as last week's, but if king is fit then i would add him for mariano if mariano isn't fit and switch johnson or gledhill to the second row

FB Murphy
LW Johnson
LC Griffin
RC Dean
RW George

SO Hyde
SH Lee

PR Korkidas
HK Rinaldi
PR Gledhill/ Johnson
SR Henderson
SR Gledhill/Johnson (Mariano if fit)
LF Morrison

SB Wildie
SB Howarth
SB Amor
SB King

I would keep the same team assuming they are pit but i would have Wildie in at half back with Davey on the bench instead of Hyde.

I'd go

Murphy
Johnson
Dean
Griffin
George
Wildie
Lee (deserves another go at sh after last week)
Korkidas
Rinaldi
Johnson
Morrisson
Moriano
Howarth

King
Armor / gledhill
Davey
Henderson

Hyde ( harsh on Hyde as I think he's been decent so far, but feel Wildie should get a shot for full game)

think you are right. i would keep davey on the bench and go with hyde and lee. don't know about gledhill. like the lad, think he is a good talent but think he still needs a bit more size. still gets knocked back alot but that will come.

Assuming everyone's fit, obviously get King in, if he's ready to go. I'd leave Lee at SH and give Wildie a start SO, then maybe put Davey on the bench and give Hyde the week off. Then the rest the same as last week.

I think it may be worth starting stuart howarth at stand off.He seems to be our best passer of the ball and read the game pretty well.Playing him there would also give us a bit more of a physical presence which i feel we need at the minute.We can then use Wildie off the bench to take on the hull pack who could tire after what must have been a very tough game at wigan.

Couldn't Davey do the same when the oppositions pack tire though?? And he is a regular hooker and playing players out if position is fine if they show form there (Lee, Hyde) but for the sake of it (Howarth) maybe not.

Would be good to see Wildie have the opportunity to start and control the game as best he can from start and get a foothold as opposed to 30 mins into it when potentially we could be chasing the game and the team having to adapt mid half to a player with a different style.

I'm pretty sure that Howarth has played at stand off a fair bit for the wigan acdemy side so it isn't a strange position for him.I think Hull would target Davey in defence as he isn't the most phyical hooker.Wildie did fine on friday so no problem if he does start and hopefully he will become a regular as he deffo has ability.Playing Howarth at stand off is probably reliant on king being fit so we could start hendo in the second row in howarth's place.

does anyone know when Beans will be back?

As confused as he is, I can't see Kear bringing him out of retirement.

He's only 42. Props mature with age don't they?
We should give it a go. Can't be worse than when Bibb played

O' Meley and Long are doubts for Hull and I wouldn't be suprised to see Yeaman and Radford get a ban tonight.

If all 4 are indeed out then we will go with something like:

Phelps
Sharp
Whiting
Turner
Briscoe
Horne
Obst
Dowes
Houghton
Lauaki
Westerman
Tickle
Fitzgibbon

Moa
Manu
Washbrook
Cunningham

Don't think beans played for Hull so he won't be on JK's radar
