I hope so steve, Miller has had his chances need to blood some of the young home grown lads, I hope Abdul and HTW both get some game time this season.

So I've been told pal, same here Miller will be back in Aus next season so lets see what the young uns can do.

Eh? Abdul not in the 19, are we playing mind games with players no one outside of Hull has heard of!

Was really looking forward to this game but I can't believe Miler is back. Shipped out on loan for not cutting the mustard, has a shocker one level below and then gets popped back in the 1st team squad. Madness.

Does Abdul play 13 ?

IIRC Lancanster wasn't in the 19 prior to him making his debut either, although someone might have pulled out late, I can't really remember now.

As for mind games. I'm sure Wakefield won't be concerned about Abdul playing, but with Westerman being our best player I'm also sure Wakefield will have spent quite a bit of time looking at him in training. So if we then come out with a totally different system it could throw them a bit. It probably keeps a bit of pressure of Abdul too who will undoubtedly be nervous about playing and could probably do without any interviews or articles that he might be asked for if we announced he was playing.

I've only seen him play a few times and don't know much about him tbh, but everyone who watches him often seems to rate him highly. If he does play I'm sure he will do himself justice.

I've heard the same that Abdul is playing . Not sure if it's in the halfs or loose man but is playing

Smailes said to somebody on Twitter that he's pretty confident Miller isn't playing.

Id go with, shaul, lineham, sa, yeamo, talanoa, horne, miller(unless we have a suprise of either abdul or htw in the team somehow), paea, houghton, watts, tuson, ellis, westy, subs: heremaia, feka, bowden, thompson

I think he'll go with azza and horne in the halves with houghton doing the 80 as punishment for his missus giving birth

What are the rules on naming the 19. Seen it a lot this year that the team on the day includes players not in the 19. Is there any point in naming a 19 if it can be changed at the drop of a hat.

Totally agree, totally pointless naming a squad.

As for the team I'd go with,

Shaul
Talanoa
Yeaman
Sa
Lineham
Horne
Abdul
Watts
Houghton
Paea
Ellis
Tuson
Westy

Heremia
Feka
Thompson
Whiting
