Why should so called big stars come straight back in should earn places

I agree he doesnt get time to do anything on the pitch
That said we always seem to concede when he is on the pitch so probably why Radford gives him so little minutes.
if thats the case why select him at all?

To be fair to Micheals and Nogger they don't warrant being dropped on current form. Talanoa is going to have to work hard and wait for his chance to get back in the squad and thats how it should be.

Think Dean Hadley deserves another chance.

Radford said Talanoa was good to go if selected,so looks like he has gone with Michaels and Naughton on the wings which on current form is the correct decision.

Still think Taylor needs to miss one.

HULL FC: Bowden, Ellis, Fonua, Green, Hadley, Houghton, Manu, Michaels, Minichiello, Naughton, Paleaaesina, Pritchard, Shaul, Sneyd, Taylor, Tuimavave, Washbrook, Watts, Yeaman.

Is Thompson injured then because it seems odd he'snot even in the squad and had until he got left out/dropped been playing well I thought?

Going to be a really tough maych this, lose focus, give away too many silly penalties and.Saints have plenty to hurt us with.
Another close one, both bouyed by good wins. Us by 4, 28-24

Radford said on Humberside that Thompson had caught the sickness bug so would think he is still not well or recovered enough to be considered

Because it was very much planned to rotate and come in fresh again this weekend

Win this one and we'll be making a real statement of intent.

Should be favourites to back it up with a win v Huddersfield. Leeds away will always be tough, but then Wakefield away and Cats at home are also winnable.

We've matched last season's points so far with gaining points v Cats and Warrington, offset with the losses against Cas and Widnes. We won at Sts last season, but lost the Hudds, Leeds and Wakey games, so this is were we will start to show if we have really improved points wise on last season.

A good April and we'll become serious Top 4 contenders.
