Good Friday v Leeds : Sat Apr 08, 2017 10:39 am  

3rd v 4th. Obviously we have a shocking record against Leeds so will be an extremely tough game. If Taylor and Ellis back but Griffin and Green out I'd maybe go:

Shaul
Michaels
Connor
Fonua
Talanoa
Kelly
Sneyd
Bowden
Washbrook
Taylor
Mini
Manu
Ellis

Watts
Thompson
Litten
Matongo

What's up with Houghton? I can't remember the last time he missed a game before this season.

Hope we canget Hadley back but somehow don't think we will

Re: Good Friday v Leeds : Sat Apr 08, 2017 12:48 pm  

...he wants to leave, apparently.

He was ever present in 2013, missed one in 2014 (Catalans away as his wife was due to give birth), ever present in 2015 and was rested in the Super 8s at Saints last season. Missed Warrington last week and Salford last night due to a calf injury.

Of them four games we lost three and drew one. We've not won a game without Houghton in nearly five years.

I think me and you need to take some responsibility for his injury, only talking about him not missing a game a few weeks back!!!

I think he will play, heard him talking to someone today so he has a good chance, if he doesn't play I don't see us winning.

Yes I think we may have jinxed him

We just need him back as soon as possible. I share your worries about our chances on Friday without him. I've read many Hull fans being very confident about beating Leeds but our record against them is dreadful. We need Houghton, Ellis, Taylor and Kelly back to have any chance.

Had his arms and legs chopped off, his body quartered and sent to the 4 corners of the empire. Fortunately he's a quick healer so should be back for friday

Picked up a calf injury against Wigan.
He hasn't missed many in recent years that's for certain and definitely makes us tick.
