Agree with side above and for us a relatively big bench, just wonder if Callum McLelland May get left out and we go Leeming at stand off, Dwyer hooker with smith, Donaldson, king and Holroyd off the bench with Smith able to fill in at stand off and hooker to rest/rotate the other 2.
Hopefully agar has a few choices for a change.

Was thinking the same. Obviously stepped in to cover the last minute change with Gale last time out but they've not shown any real faith in him before threat, even after he was fit to play. Wouldn't be in the least bit surprised if Leeming is back in that spot come Thurs. On the plus side, if Callum does play it'll be the best line up he's played in and alongside Gale would be really interested to see how he goes. Plenty of rumours about him on the way out already - not sure if that's a done deal or not yet but would be his best opportunity to show what he can do

Personally I would play McLelland if he's fit. He does have talent and behind a decent pack could go well. Leeming looked much better at 7 than at 6 for me, so with Gale back in my preference would be a "proper" half back.

Leeming also brings some physicality at hooker to start.

Aside from Walker and possibly Broadbent, this is just about our first choice side for the first time (I wouldn't play Liam Sutcliffe ahead of Newman or Hurrell myself). You might argue Lui over McLelland but I think Lui is shot bless him.

Myler, T Briscoe, Hurrell, Newman, Handley, McLelland, Gale, Mik, Leeming, Prior, Mellor, Martin, Smith; Tetevano, Dwyer, Holroyd, Vuniyayawa.

Anyone coming over from Leeds for this one?

that's the side I would go with.

Donaldson for Holroyd unless Tetevano isn`t ready just yet.

holryd got to be in if fit donaldson shouldn't be near a full fit pack

Donaldson always gives it everything and never takes a backwards step, he’s a great squad player to have at number 25, but he won’t be in a full strength pack. He’s played so many games this year because we’ve not had a full strength pack.

Re: RD 16 | Hull FC (A) : Wed Jul 28, 2021 8:03 am  

Great to be discussing who won't be playing rather than who will!!
We need to match the size and physicality of the Hull pack.
So, I think Leeming will play in the halves.
With Smith, King, Holroyd and Donno on the bench.
Smith can cover 6 if we need to rotate Leeming & Dwyer.

Re: RD 16 | Hull FC (A) : Wed Jul 28, 2021 8:06 am  

Also, I would personally play Luke over Tom Briscoe.
But that won't happen.
Sneyd will target Tom in the air and it could be a problem.....
