Academic really ... in practical terms it is one less for Bradford to worry about.
They must be chuffed!

I don't think he has been available to shine against the better sides yet and in two cases York and Fev we lost.
He was brilliant against Whitehaven and they have rallied ... no slouches.

Anyway the omens aren't good ...

We are even putting on travel to get to the game! www.hullfc.com/news/2018-04-26-h ... says-horne

It's a bit dangerous playing him in the centres with his sideways running he would spend most of the game in the stands! But seriously he's a class act and somebody with that unpredictability needs the ball as much as possible that's why I'd prefer to see him in the halves.

didn't think he played against whitehaven?

or was it the newcastle game at home he missed

That could be your headstone inscription

He didn't play against Whitehaven, but was still brilliant!
I missed the latter game ... bus never turned up.
Oddly enough you have cheered me up by pointing it out.
We can win without him.

It could ... not yet a while hopefully.

He didn't platy in the cup game against Newcastle that we won 30-0

Wonder if Westerman may be named in your squad.....

As we've got Frankie Mariano to fit in the 17, it'll be interesting to see who doesn't make it. Who drops out if Jez Litten comes? Who would make way for Joe Westerman?

I presume the following backs will be on the teamsheet: Full Back - Richard Owen, Wing - Sam Doherty, Centre - Jason Tali, with Liam Harris and Jack Miller in the halves. That leaves a wing spot and a centre spot up for grabs.

In the forwards, Russ Spiers and Zac Braham should be included, Second Row - it's hard to displace Brad England and Charlie Martin. Brandan Wilkinson has done well at 13 too. Kyle Kesik is in very good form.

So where does Frankie Mariano fit in? We've then got to consider the likes of Jordie Hedges, AJB, and Keiran Cross to name but a few. I'd guess that Frankie Mariano will start in the second row with Brad England dropping down to the bench. Two other props would need to be on the bench. That leaves one more place available.

I don't see how AJB can be left out considering the way he's played when given a chance. That's the other wing spot sorted. Connor Bower or Liam Welham for the other centre spot, or does he move Charlie Martin to centre to fit in another second-rower? I don't think he'd want to do that as Charlie Martin and Jason Tali work well together.

I've become a Jordie Hedges fan. I'm not wanting to leave out Keiran Cross either, and then Jez Litten ... who'd be a coach?!
