there must be something in the water in these parts keeping props out. Rovers had just Robbie Mulhearn fit for tonights CC win, 5 props out injured. Crazy

Manu to prop Hadley 2nd row. Washy to start ahead of Houghton(injured) Litten on the bench. Wynne FB, Connor centre, Griffin wing for me.

Nice warm day in Perpignan today, hope the pitch is drying out well. Best chance we have is keeping the ball alive and Turing out their forwards. Looks like Matt Smith will miss out.

Thats what i would like to see Manu to front row and give Dean Hadley a full game in the second row instead of been moved around so much.We will then see the best of Hadley.
Dont see the point of moving Connor Wynne after a solid debut,so Jake to right centre and Griffin onto the wing unless Radford moves Griffin on to the bench as a second row.

You don't want to see Wynne moved, because he was solid, but you're happy for Logan to be moved, who was also solid, and you also want Griffin moved after a Mom performance?

You also want Manu moved out of his position? Wheras Hadley has played plenty down the middle channel over the last couple of seasons. Our front row is already weakened this week, we don't need to be weakening our back row too.

If you post enough scenarios you'd be unhappy with you have a range of sticks to beat Radford with. The reality is we're screwed in the front row so will likely get clattered from start to finish. It's not the end of the world. Apparently we may start to get some bodies back next week.

I know you have a 'thing' about Griffin but you want him moving after scoring a hat trick and picking up maximum MoS points?

Griffin MOS? More chance of you winning the Euro lottery
I said play him on the wing but as we are short of forwards Radford may see more benefit playing him off the bench and giving us some impact and keeping Logan on the wing.

Not able to be in France, hope the boys give it all they’ve got, we can ask for no more. COYH

Funny how the loop fixtures have bunged one if not the best travelling fans in Catalonia for a second time in June, good job we’re all well paid in Kingston upon Hull

No mentioned Griffin as MOS.

Really can't see us getting anything from this game with our props missing.

Travelling today won't help either, which I think is madness.

Travelling in and out today is not madness its the way most teams are doing it now.
What is madness is the flight time scheduled for 07.00 which means some players up at 04.00 this morning.
A later fight time arriving for lunchtime would have been better.

This would allow no contingency in the event of an issue with the aircraft for example.

Kelly on the bench with Brown, Lane and Nzoungou.

Thompson & Ellis @prop, Houghton plays, the rest at expected.

Wynne, Logan, Tuimavave, Griffin, Faraimo, Connor, Sneyd, Thompson, Houghton, Ellis, Manu, Minichiello, Westerman.

Subs: Brown, Kelly, Lane, Nzoungou

Kick up the backside for Kelly then?

Can't see why. Big job tonight gonna be hard but as long as the lads give it a go. Be interesting to see how the young guns go
