I like the side, but I'd have Fash on the bench for Masi, thought he was the best of the youngsters last week.

Don't fancy us with without Ellis, Houghton and that bench, another game we could with Hadley.

Anyone know what the injuries to the various players, and did we get the treatment chamber Pearson wanted the VP's to help with?

Are they playing hide and seek

Although the Allam's are proving with their rip offs of amateur teams that their philanthropic claims are somewhat short on credibility I would assume that Hull's stadium lease is immune from their interference. Just avoid paying for anything other than the entrance fee, which lets face it, should not be difficult unless you have a strange addiction to vastly overpriced fare.

What % of the entrance fee do FC get, anyone know?

I'd be tempted to have Connor on the bench to play at hooker.

Has there been confirmation players are out?

Not yet, squad should be announced at about 12 today.

No, no, no. Giving Danny the chance to recover fully could be crucial to the remainder of the season. Panic rushing a player back is a sure fire way of risking a further/larger injury imo.

Absolutely imagine playing Houghton, beating Leeds but he injures his calf and is out for the season, it's a tough ask but we can beat Leeds without Houghton, nothing is one this early, a defeat isn't a disaster, a long term injury to Houghton would be.

As you and Karen say, it simply isn't worth the risk. Winning the league gets you nothing, CC and playoffs are the only trophies that count.

Don't know how true it is, but been to the stadium this morning and speaking to a kid I know who works there and said everyone is back barring Tuimavave. Can't see Houghton playing myself. Also asked about the Magic weekend kit but wouldn't give anything away. Although did say we've kind of seen it before and different. Thinks it'll be a really good seller.

Until there's anything official I guess it's all guesswork. I hope you are right, so long as everyone playing is fit.

Definitely, I wouldn't risk anyone especially Houghton and Ellis unless they were anything close to being fit.
