19 man squad for hull : Fri Mar 16, 2012 2:12 pm  

Denis Betts has unveiled his 19-man squad for Sunday's Stobart Super League Rd.7 fixture versus Hull FC.

The Vikings are seeking their first victory at the KC Stadium, having lost on all four previous visits and Betts has named the following line-up for the game:

From: Allen, Briscoe, Cahill, Clarke, Craven, Davies, Finnigan, Flynn, Hanbury, Isa, Kite, Marsh, Moore, Mullally, O'Brien, Phelps, Pickersgill, White and Winterstein.


Meanwhile, Widnes Vikings has suspended Kurt Haggerty for a breach of club discipline. No further comment will be made.

No Ah Van but Moore is in.

Hanbury and one of Moore / Clarke to miss out (personally would get Scotty straight back in).

Briscoe
Flynn
Phelps
Marsh
Isa
Obrien
Craven
Davies
White
Mullaly
Cahill
Winterstein
Allen

Hanbury
Pickersgill
Kite
Moore

That would be my team. Finnigan maybe could swap with Pickersgill but then we only have one replacement prop. Even though Clarke will be included for the obvious reason hes captain, i think their are better players than him we can choose from. Hanbury can come on in the second half and freshen us up with ideas. Betts said this week that Hanbury will play a big part in what we are going to achieve this year so after dropping him last week, he will be played.

Viva nearly agree with your team but I think Mullaly is better as an impact prop and I would drop Clarke for Moore.He is not a bad player Clarke but I feel White and Moore are better hookers.Cahill has been great at 13.

Hull's 19 man squad if anyone is interested.

Aspinwall, Bowden, T. Briscoe, Crooks, Ellis, Horne, Houghton, Kent, Lynch, Manu, Martin, McKinnon, Moa, O'Carroll, Seymour, Sharp, Tickle, Turner, Whiting.

I'd expect the lineup to be:

McKinnon
Sharp
Martin
Turner
Briscoe
Horne
Seymour
Lynch
Houghton
Moa
Tickle
Manu
Whiting

Subs
Aspinwall
Bowden
Ellis
O'Carroll

Just to add to the previous post, it's uncertain as to whether or not Aspinwall will be fit to play this weekend (he missed Saints last week with a shoulder injury and reports during the week said it was 50/50 whether he'd be fit in time).
If he doesn't play then I would expect Liam Kent to make his debut for FC, giving us a pretty inexperienced bench (but one with a lot of promise).

Will be good to see Phelps back at the KC, he was good for us last year and will get a warm welcome.

and briscoe is still very popular at the KC despite playing for the dark side
