There's nothing easy when you're missing your full back, winger, 2 props and back rower. Playing 2 18 year olds in any Derby is a risk but one we need to try and mitigate.

Full back Quinlan, Winger Shaw, props Masoe, Scruton, backrow Greenwood. Very impressed with your knowledge of Rovers missing players although you have missed a few as well......... joking aside I don't think either side should play the injury card as an excuse for defeat.

We've been far worse off and you have too this is about as good as it gets. As a Rovers fan quite honestly I'd happily welcome back your 2 missing props to replace any 2 who will be playing. Would your missing 2 even get in the 17 if so who would be dropped? Jamie Shaul is the one player who I am pleased is missing he always causes us trouble but I assure you that our player of the year Adam Quinlan is just as big a miss at FB for us. Only difference he's been out far longer than Shaul.

My concern is that we only had 1 prop forward last week we are back up to 3 but have 2 returning who will play jabbed up. For all I know you'll have players jabbed up too. The players won't complain, may the best team win.

That's a very long-winded bleat about Rovers injury position. You know, seeing that you're not bothered about them. Unfortunately for us, as well as 2 first choice props out I think our 2 fastest players are missing in Shaul and Naulago. Rovers are self-styled warm firm pitch specialists too so with a nice sunny day forecast..

Who will be the starting halves for us tomorrow?

And you're probably one of the worst, but that's just my humble opinion, of course.

Jeez his might have been long but if we add all yours up in this thread alone it would probably be equal if not greater.
Wish you'd stop all this doom and gloom moaning malarkey, people see through it for what is exactly is.

Naulago wasn't even 1st choice Wing start of season so you can't use him and we've hardly been blessed with speed these last few years.
Be positive, we should at home have enough to see off Rovers.
A nice warm day, a cracking game and a Hull win look forward to that instead of constantly down playing Hull.

Think your Barista's alter ego. All you do is aR5e lick and have a pop at any poster that disagrees with her.

You've been very quiet this last couple of weeks, results not going your way I guess.
Keep up the abusive posts if it makes you happy, you're so predictable.

If the squad is fully fit Naulago is a first choice winger. You "can't" tell me what to do. Although if I "can't" have Naulago, presumably I "can" have Talanoa

You do back up my point on his importance though, a winger with his pace is a rare commodity at Hull, hence the extent to which his absence will be felt.

I'm intrigued as to what Radford will do with the 3 halves. Could we see Jake at full back?
