i'd go with that team but maybe radford on the bench instead of g horne as prop because i don't think your going to get alot of game time out of cordoba and moa

I've just looked at the Celtic team and I'm sure I aint the only one who is concerned about this game!

King and Tickle both regularly get through the initial impact when carrying the ball. They both find the floor well and in a good position a lot more often than Radford. Defensively, Tickle is miles ahead in terms of controlling the tackle. He's probably the best at the club still (up there with Cusack, anyway). King isn't as good, but he often makes much better contact than Radford and slows the play down much more effectively.

Thackray and G Horne, again, both get through tacklers. They often avoid heavy contact through footwork and running style. Again, better than Radford.

Dowes and Maloney both control the ball carrier more effectively. Neither are great, but both are run through and caught on the wrong side less often than Radford.

Just read the lastest grapevine and what a joke Agars comments are.

"Hull FC coach Richard Agar pulled no punches following the Black and Whites defeat to Castleford last week and once again he has been full and frank with his team selection for Friday’s clash with Celtic Crusaders"

“In isolation, we had some boys trying their heart out, but for one reason or another we had some players who’s effort wasn’t good enough for the shirt, good enough for the fans and good enough for us as coaching staff.”

Hull FC coach Richard Agar said, “There will be changes, just how many will be determined by a few factors." - These factors been the players who are the coaches favourites?

Interesting to see who the ones are that will be dropped from the 17 and to the bench then as the ones dropped so far Maloney & Hodgson who haven't played and Broughton!

So it seems we have more talk less action again form Agar, and we wonder why we are poor, there is absolutely no need to play for your place.

Spot on.
