Hull team

Tansey, Whiting, Turner, Yeaman, Briscoe, Washbrook, Long, Dowes, Houghton, O'Meley, Radford, Tickle, Fitzgibbon

Subs: Moa, McShane, Burnett, Cunningham

team on paper pretty strong and good enough to win, good to see Cunningham getting a chance.

Team balance is wrong for a start, Burnett should start and Radford should be a rotation prop or Dowes

Be interesting to see how much game time McShane and Cunningham get. Would have been tempted to start with McShane TBH and bring Houghton on later as that seems to suit his game better.

Id say the same, waste of an interchange hooker if he doesnt come on till 60 mins or so.

Rotations will be a key with only having 1 prop and cant hold Cunningham off, he will need to play a part

Agree Karlos....also would have Hall on Wing with Whiting at 6...Could have had Fitz in 2nd row with Washy at 13.

Got a host of players back who will have to play 80mins........the way i do it we can then rotate players coming back.

Catalans team:

Pelo, Bell, Raguin, Sa, Vaccari, Gigot, Bosc, Ferriol, Baile, Guisset, Elima, Mounis, Johnson

Subs: Bentley, Carlaw, Fakir, Casty
