| Miller is poor - sorry but I have zero interest in going to watch him.
He was a major factor in why we didn't get anything from the Rams game.
If Cookes injured so be it, but then play Spav at 6 use Kes / Emmet at hooker, Snitch at LF.

Exactly right.

| Well if Cooke doesn't play, I don't think we have the nous to crack Leigh.
But if he is injured then it's up to him.

I never said that Scott Spaven isn't good enough.
If Jacob Miller is coming on Sunday, which it looks as though he is according to the official Hull website, I was assuming either Cooke or Wilkinson wouldn't be playing. Scott Spaven hasn't played in the halves for a while now. It never actually entered my head that Spaven would make way for Miller.
We probably need a one-legged Paul Cooke to guide us round the park on Sunday because without him I fear our chances are probably very slim indeed, regardless of how the squad is shuffled.
The point I am making is that we must trust Paul Cooke to make the right decisions and if he thinks Miller is the right choice (for whatever reason) we must back him - not give the lad a tough time.

I wish I could but I find it hard to believe that Paul Cooke is picking this kid willingly

| I wanted to respond to Double Movement's comments on Jacob Miller. Jacob Miller is not talented. He is another third rate Aussie who has been brought over to Super League. He won't be at Hull next year because two British half backs have been signed. One I think is massively over rated and the other a real emerging talent.
If Miller plays I will be VERY VERY unhappy.

If we lose, it'll be hard to catch both Featherstone and Halifax.
The club should offer the team a large bonus payment to finish in second position in the league, the club would receive £450,000 for finishing second if they finish third or fourth it drops to £200,000

Do you really think that Paul Cooke would stand for someone else telling him who to pick?
As reported, Hull have signed two more half-backs for next season. Miller could be on his way out. What would be the logic in Hull (or someone else) insisting that he plays for the Dons?
The only reason anyone plays for the Dons is because Paul Cooke wants them to.

As a general rule, I wait to see a player play at least half a dozen games before making a judgement on them. I haven't seen enough of Jacob Miller to know whether he's half-decent or rubbish. In the mean time, I'll give him the benefit of any doubt and trust that Paul Cooke knows what he's doing.

| Just been reading the Hull forum. They're quite displeased that Richard Whiting has been left out of the squad to play Salford this weekend. There's no mention of him being injured.
Let's hope he's in our squad on Sunday along with Liam Colbon.

I thought it would be a case of play him or don't get the other guys. Although I must admit there is little sense in it there is even less in us actually playing him imo

Lets hope PC is fit to play . I did say Hull have made available doesn't mean he will play !

| The pitch at Dewsbury is a completely different thing to playing at the Keepmoat as well. I won't be there (at the moment, unless I can convince work to give me the afternoon off.. ), but it will be interesting to see.
