Albo took head knock right at the end of the game .Hope he is ok.
Just an option at full back ,Rather see Shaul at fullback and Albo at half back.
Radford trying to find a starting place for Connor.
Dont think this game will have helped in regards to the backs selection apart from Ratu who must start.
Griffin had a strong game at centre.Fonua is likely to start so will Swift now miss out and maybe Tuimavave.
I guess Radford will play Swift at HKR next week if fit.
Would have liked to have Connor at centre buts that unlikely to happen given Griffin had a good game today and its unlikely now he will be on the bench and may start at Leeds with Connor now on the bench.

| Griffin was excellent and I reckon Savelio has played himself in.

Just a finger in the eye according to Radford.

I think the Reserves match has been cancelled. Just an under 18s game now and some small sided Scholarship games as far as I know.

Not a good advert if the reserves has been cancelled...

yes i mentioned Griffin was strong today and he seems to have learnt that you also need to pass the ball rather than dying with it. You have to remember however we played a mid table Championship team.
Personally i would have had him start on the bench as a replacement second row and back cover but i think now Radford will start him and Fonua as the centres with Connor on the bench.
Whatever he does there will be some unhappy players.
Someone has mentioned that the reserve game at HKR has been cancelled.If thats the case then without a pre season game i cant see Swift or Bowden now in the team for Leeds which leaves a place on the bench for Savellio

Agree re Bowden and Swift as can’t see either of them making the team for Leeds unless we have an injury between now and game day. Neither have had any game time in the friendlies so think the backs will be Ratu, Faraimo, Fonua & Griffin/Carlos.
Wonder if we’ll see Connor start at 6 with Kelly on the bench?

Another injury for Dean, and another for KR (they are doing it tough atm)
I wonder if these injuries are the reason for game at HKR has been cancelled?

was impressed with him, when he gets into the line he's looking to be creative, whereas with shaul the play can end up in a dead end street sometimes if he can't break through. also made a couple of decent breaks. the only problem was hull were so dominant he wasn't tested much with kicks, runners etc. also needs to position the defence in the right place - not saying he didnt do that but the line wasn't tested enough

I hope not Chris
Radford definitely trying to find a place for Connor and giving him the number 6 shirt was the wrong thing to do in my opinion, and although numbers to some dont mean a lot i am certain to others they do.
You have to earn your place in the team and Kelly is by far the better 6.
The problem Radford has is does he give in to a sulking Connor and give him what he wants or put the best 13 on the field in their best positions and not revert to square pegs in round holes.
Griffin seems to have played himself into the starting 13 and Connor will not get the right centre position in front of Fonua so at best there is a bench spot for Connor.
Cant see any advantage of having Albo on the bench other than to appease Connor.
I have said several times i like to see Jake in the right centre role but my feeling is with all the extra competition for places and Jake been moved around again to cover for injuries he will be unsettled and the club may decide to cash in and let him move on.

| 1 and 6 are interchangeable and out of Shaul, Connor and Kelly, Shaul is the weak link for me. Kelly at FB.
Also, whilst Griffin started at centre today, don't forget he has been in the back row for the other friendlies. I don't think it's set in stone that he will be centre against Leeds.

Couldn't agree more, if Kelly is fit and firing he's one of the best 6's in SL, Connor is a million miles off that at the moment.
