Could be a banana skin this one. Hull squad looking pretty injury free, we had 6/7 involved in the England game plus so notable outs.

Good start needed.

Surprised to see Hampshire straight into the squad. Wonder if he’ll play or is he just making up the numbers.

It does feel like it could be a tough one. It never seems an easy fixture for us this, bar the odd isolated one here and there. It may be too early for Hampshire but id be tempted to throw him on the bench and we could then switch things up during the game and get Shorrocks in the forwards.

I’d go-

French
Miski King Wardle Marshall
Shorrocks Smith
Byrne Powell Havard
KPP Farrell Smithies

Subs
Mago Hill Hampshire O’Neill

To be fair they are missing Hoy, Vulikijapani, Shaul and Severs. Not sure where Savelio is.

Surely Hoy is the only one that would get in the 17.

I'd still back us to get a marginal win - Havard/Byrne/Smithies will have to do a lot of the legwork which they're very capable of. Hill and Mago will have to be used sparingly due to a lack of experience/lack of fitness respectively.

After 30 minutes throw Shorrocks to 13 and move Smithies to prop.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Ian Thornley given a run in place of Wardle after that heavy knock he took playing for England.

He was dropped for performance related reasons then apparently injured his hand, hasn't been seen since. Looking increasingly likely he isn't someone TS rates so will be out the door.
As MadDogg said only really Hoy from the injury list who is a guaranteed starter although I'd have Vulikijapani in when fit.
Its Truemans first game back from ACL so not expecting the world from him.

Someone said he would be out on loan to Wakey. I’ve got to say he looked sharpe in the reserves fixture against wakey

Has Trueman played in the reserves?
