That's what he will go with but I'd like to see us try the combination with Kelly/Connor at full back like we tried in the friendlies.

Yay

No Savellio again, I thought the club said it was only a short term injury. Hopefully he can spell Ellis next week.

Ellis won't play friday to short a turnaround

Good to have Ma'u back, I wasn't expecting that this week.

Savelio is starting to become a concern again given his past injury record.

A bit disappointing that he continues to select the ineffective Matongo over Brown, but then Matongo probably won't play anyway. Just making up the squad.

Kelly needs to start imo. As I've said before it would be at FB if I were picking the team, but I know Radford isn't going to do that, so hopefully it's Kelly at 6 and Connor on the bench.

Perhaps they are just looking after Sav, as we now have good cover, hope so.

Well I hope so. But that's 3 weeks now with no real word on timescale or even what the injury actually is. It's a little concerning given all the problems he has had in the past.

HDM... However, Radford insists he has no cause for concern over the 24-year-old’s latest setback. “It’s a tweak of his knee so it’s nothing major,” he said before adding: “It’s not the knee he injured.” https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/r ... au-3849021

Sensible approach by the club, possible heavy going, big opponents, we’ve all seen how good he is, it will be great to get him back when he’s ready.

No excuses this week. Pretty much full strength

Even the weather looks better on Sunday.

Team for me would look something like -

Shaul
Fonau
Conner
Tuimavave
Swift
Kelly
Sneyd
Taylor
Houghton
Sao
Jones
Ma'u
Ellis
Subs
Bowden
Satae
Griffin
Johnstone

Tough on Griffin I know but just think coming off the bench to the second row gives us better interchange then lane or fash

No chance, would be a stupid move

I hop he doesnt go with connor and johnstone on the bench.
