Like I say it's a tough one but on balance having Long in with Obst covering 9 that is stronger than having washbrook in at all. I accept Long hasn't pulled up any trees but he had a decent game against KR and as such deserves inclusion. Obst/Houghton combo could be lethal over 80 mins - we need to see. Wakefield would be a good game to see - in my opinion obviously. |

 he is the missing link we have searched for , for some time, played well cant fault him but when the multi award winning world class scrum half is fit again he will play and Obst will go to the bench as rotation hooker as was always planned , until then he is doing a sterling job

The key for me is all 4 in the squad each week, we cannot afford to leave any of Long/Horne/Obst/Houghton out.
6 Horne
7 Long
9 Houghton
14 Obst
Obst had a cracking 1st half today but had no fuel in the tank in the 2nd

So one decent game, well 15 minutes of a decent game warrants inclusion. Washy is no world beater but one thing you do get from him is effort, and at times when your backs are against the wall that is what you need. I would rather have a player who is willing to spill blood for his team on the pitch than someone who turns it on occasionally when it suits him.
Long should be made to work for his place back in the team, rather than just saunter back in when he feels he is ready for a game. |

All fair comment but for me Washbrook is a weak link in the team as things stand and I think he will be the one to make way if injuries don't require him elsewhere. |

I can see the point and agree Washy is a bit of a weak link. I also think Agar will stick Long in with Horne as soon as he is fit regardless of how well Horne/Obst are performing. I just think a little reminder to Long that he has to work to play in this team would benefit everyone in the long run.

Oh right thanks for the artistry. It's just you said 'at SL level' so foolishly I assumed you meant 'at SL level', not 'at Hull FC'. Who is this unmasked charlatan in our midst then? |
