Top quality from big Franklin Pele

Grade A status?

Good interview with Jack Ashworth in today's Yorkshire Post.
Seems really intent on making his mark and proving the doubters wrong.

Broken thumb for Tindall big blow, guess Martin is next up.

Morgan Smith out with a knee strain. Guess we'll go with Hoy and Brown in the halves

Huge chance now for Martin to make that spot his own, i'd suspect Litten may get some minutes there too.

Disappointing to see the Balmforth is missing from the squad (hopefully its for a minor injury so not being risked),if not it seems we may well be going down the flog Houghton for as long as we can again or Smith genuinely sees Cator as the interchange 9.

Yeah looks like
Walker
Litten/Martin
Carlos
Sutcliffe
McIntosh
Hoy
Brown
Ese’ese
Houghton
Ashworth
Sao
Okunbur
Fash
Subs
Cator(interchange at 9)
Pele
Brown
Scott
if Smith fit first game I'd swap him and Cator.

Hope Balmforth has a knock (obviously not a bad one).

Really depressing the thought of Houghton and Cator as our potential hookers.

He does. Something to do with his shoulder apparently. Doesn't confirm if it's the knock he's had for a bit or something fresh.

Edit: that's only something Hull Live have said by the looks of it actually and not a quote from Smith. Although I'm sure if Tomlinson has said it then he knows what's going on.

That whole bench Ellam has put on baring Pele is depressing

Well that's something, where did you read that, was it this week, as knew he was out last week, but seen nothing about this week.

Brown is ok, Scott is a waste on the bench for me, he either starts or doesn’t make the 17, especially if you’ve already got a utility like a cator/smith on the bench.

Just added an edit to my post.
It's on the Hull Live article (the most recent one about squad news) that he has a shoulder issue, but it's not a direct quote from Smith. However I'd imagine Tomlinson knows what the case is. It's just a single line near the end.
There was talk of him having a knock around the Bradford game which was why he never played against Doncaster, so maybe something that's still troubling him a touch.

Disappointed in Tindall injury. If his thumb is broken what's the timescale ?. Hope Martin gets his chance . Don't see litten as a winger only as an a emergency cover.
