HKR up Next

[gateman]

unless they rearrange a game the reserves have no game, our under 18S are at home on Saturday V Warrington 2-0 pm KO see you there folks

[KB80]

If anyone is carrying any niggles give them a rest, if not
Milner for O Neil
Jesse for Mcmeeken

Would be my choice.

[Lofthouse Tiger]

As has been said a nice dilemma for DP for a change with players coming back.

It’s weather conditions that we will need to deal with as well. HKR should be. Ore used to it but if they have so many out its a good chance to 4 from 5.

Thought McMeeken looked good when he came on and only change for me would be Milner for O’Neill.

[Hepworth7]

Who they got missing?
Obviously they lost Masoe to that awful injury, Hauraki,Garbutt,Abdull and Hadley all struggling although one of them may make it, and Parcell the latest to go down.

[tigerfeat]

If Jessie is fit he as to come in to get some game time. Whats the position with Moors, as he had a set back after the Wigan game?

Nothing wrong with Juniors strength it seems got teld on Friday hed bench pressed 200k in training last week ...

[HuddsTigers]

Jesse, Milner and Foster apparently back this week.

Imagine all 3 will be in 21 man squad, and barring injuries, probably see Peachey, Hepi and Turner drop out for them.

We have a Reserves game on Weds v Bradford at Horsfall Stadium (rearranged game from this week) so should give fringe players a chance to stake a claim.

I'd drop out O'Neill. Lad has covered well last few games but is still raw and needs managing. Reserves game will give him a competitive game with men. I also view this as a big game in terms of getting points on the board before a couple of games that could see the results go the other way.

Jesse and Milner should both be back in and I think Smith could be the other to drop out. Gave away a few pens on Friday and think Jesse offers more enthusiasm and to his game. Milner is a first teamer regardless so should be included providing he gets through this week OK.

Probably something like this for me:
Rankin, Olpherts, Matautia, Shenton, Clare, Trueman, Richardson, Watts, McShane, Massey, McMeeken, Holmes, Milner

Subs: Millington, Jesse, Griffin, Blair

Big bench, do them in the forwards.

[Piquad1]

Don't put all your eggs in the same basket. Big games ahead need to play cautiously with selection. Always keep a couple of aces up your sleeve lol.

[RonnieGibbs'forearm]

Is Feki in contention?

[heritage1926]

I'd play the same 17 Thursday, then bring Jesse, Feki, Milner etc back fresh for the Warrington/Saints games.

[tigerfeat]

I certainly wouldn't be dropping anybody who's playing well at this stage my thinking being when a player does get a chance he plays out of his skin to try and keep his place

[Swagger]

Need to make sure we gett wins in these sort of games so have to go with out best available team. Wire and Saints after. This will be very tough so grab a win while we can.

Massey?
Never came back out 2nd half did he? Dropped of some tackles I think.

Would he get in above a fully fit set of forwards now?

[Mucky1978]

Massey made most tackles first half with 23

[gateman]

if any one deserves a rest it must be Millington played every match plus friendly's the oldest player and for me still one of the best, anyone can tell you the knocks take longer to get over as the years roll bye

[tigerfeat]

Millington looks sharp to me no idea why you would want to rest him,and im not saying masseys a better player than milner but to me hes playing well and he wouldnt lose the 13 jumper

He’s 33, 34 in November.

[heritage1926]

I like Millington in the back row at the minute, he's not having to make as many tackle or hit ups as he would at prop. Obviously when we have more back rowers available then he'll have to move, I'd personally like to see Millo at 13, better hands than Massey and more effective in attack.

[the machine]

Another missing for kr,Mulhern banned for 1 gwme
