I agree on Shaul. He's obviously got alot of pace but im not sure he's got the skills to come in behind the 2nd row and make the right choice as alot of the time he doesnt.

Looking forward to seeing Tuson. Could be a very good signing for us.

I agree with this squad but with rankin still in, needs a little more time to settle we only 3 games in give the kid a chance we had some tough games

Yes Rankin if fit has to play and be given time to settle.

This is the team I would go with, which apart from Carvell, is our strongest team (although not 100% on Rankin Miller yet).

Shaul
Lineham
Crooks
Yeaman
Talanoa
Rankin
Horne
Paea
Heremia
Bowden
Tuson
Ellis
Westerman

Whiting
Watts
Houghton
Feka

Tough on Thompson but in our position we need to play our best team.

www.hulldailymail.co.uk/8216-821 ... story.html "I'm sure there will be some surprises, but I will pick the side that is the steadiest side to get us a result." That's all we can ask for. Even if we don't end up agreeing with the selection.

I'd go with that. I've liked the look of Thompson so far but he's not really a prop and in the second row Ellis is captain, Tuson needs a game and Whiting is superman.

Would be interesting to see how 1.Rankin 6.Horne 7.Miller 9. Heremaia/Houghton 13. Westerman would go together. Alot of our play in the red zone comes to a halt when Shaul gets the ball.

Can see us lining up as follows

1. Kearney
2. Kear
3. Henry
4. Purtell
5. Foster
6. Sutcliffe
7. Gale
8. Manuokafoa
9. Diskin
10. Sidlow
11. Addy
12. Walker
13. Donaldson

14. O'Brien
15. Burke
16. Mullaly
17. Bridge

Decent side that. This is going to be tough. I just hope we come out playing at the right tempo if we do I think we'll win if not this side could make tomorrow night very uncomfortable for us.

As said still a good side, despite people leaving and injuries, if you can keep this side plus get Gaskell, Blyth and Ferguson back in, I think you have a chance of avoiding relegation.

I still our pack still has too much for this team, especially when you compare the benches.

I think we should start with Houghton and bring on azza later. For me, azza is an impact player, you get the best out of him when teams are tiring, as we have seen in many weeks. we start him and he goes off the boil again.

I'd like to wish him all the luck in the world for Hull FC. Not many Wigan fans were happy to see him go and I'm pretty sure Shaun Wane wanted to keep him. When fit, he was nearly always in the 17 but mostly on the bench. With the likes of Hansen, Hock and Farrell usually ahead of him in the SR he didn't often start. His best position is probably LF but obviously he wasn't going to unseat O'Loughlin.

He isn't a flashy player. He does the tough stuff well, doesn't miss tackles and gets the odd match winning try because he reads the game well.

Excellent endorsement. Excited about seeing him in action.

I think we ought to start with azza, then if Rankin should be below par, azza can then take over after a bit of a breather.
