I was thinking that. Maybe having the vice captaincy has fired him up. Seems more fired up since Watts has left as well

If Turgut gets a start, he really needs to have a big game. He's being overtaken by lads who were probably 2 years behind him in development. I hope he shows just what he's capable of.

I'd play Connor at FB and Logan in the centres. Not sure Miloudi is ready but that's based purely on the Catalans friendly.

Id play

Connor
Fariamo
Griffin
Logan
Talanoa
Kelly
Sneyd
Taylor
Houghton
Paea
Mini
Washy
Green

Fash
Bowden
Abdul
Turgut

I think Logan deserves I game after a decent performance against Leeds

Hull 4/7
Wakefield 13/8
Draw 21/1

From Wakefield's website:
Trinity will be looking to get back to winning ways after a narrow defeat on Thursday against Castleford Tigers.

A number of changes have been made due to the short turnaround in fixtures, with Max Jowitt, Jordan Crowther, James Batchelor and Chris Annakin all in the mix for a first appearance of the season.

The 19-man squad is named below:

Chris Annakin
Tinirau Arona
Joe Arundel
Matty Ashurst
Jordan Baldwinson
James Batchelor
Mason Caton-Brown
Jordan Crowther
Ryan Hampshire
Keegan Hirst
Craig Huby
Tom Johnstone
Max Jowitt
Reece Lyne
Jacob Miller
Pauli Pauli
Tyler Randell
Bill Tupou
Kyle Wood

No Fifita.

Looks like Miloudi will play FB. Club twitter says he is set to make his debut and he has retweeted, which suggests he knows he is playing imo.

I dont think Radford will, but I would give Minichiello a rest and push Griffin into the second row. Guys 36 now. We need to keep him fresh.

My team:

Miloudi
Faraimo
Connor
Logan
Talanoa
Kelly
Sneyd
Taylor
Houghton
Paea
Griffin
Turgut
Bowden

Fash
Masi
Green
Abdull

With the ban it looks like Hakim with will play FB, Logan on the wing and Connor centre.

Unless either Carlos or Shaul come back in, I would as its a really important game

Looking forward to seeing Miloudi at full back - as long as he behaves himself. He could either get sent off or score a hat trick. Or both.

I trust Radders to get the balance right.

Think his turning point as a coach came two years ago with the team that he fielded v Warrington on Easter Monday after the comeback win at Rovers.

Now we are blessed with a stronger squad and have more versatility. Connor can play well anywhere in the backs, we have Logan as an option too and we have several youngsters with a few games experience queuing up to play if required.

It's a big week. Following the Cats win, we've turned in a remarkable 12-man performance at Rovers. Wakefield will be tough and then Saints away on Friday. Lee's trying to balance the team to win all these games, so giving a breather to Shaul and Carlos will hopefully benefit us on Friday.
