Thompson and AK back in the squad. It'll be interesting to see if they make the match day 17. I wouldn't risk either unless they're 100%

If Thompson is 100% then I'd put him on the bench but I'd leave Keighran another week, both to ensure he's 100% but also because I think Eckersley deserves his place. Miski will get his op soon enough and I'd be surprised if they didn't then go with Eckersley and Keighan as wing/centre on that right hand side. I'd probably look to give Kerr a debut out of the rest, with him being able to cover loose forward, as well as second row, hooker and even halfback. 


I'd go-


Field
Miski Eckersley Wardle Marshall
Byrne O'Neill Walters
Farrell Nsemba Ellis


Subs
Thompson Hill Kerr Leeming

Surpsied Keighran is back in the squad, thought he was a few weeks away. Either way, id stick with Eckersley

Could do with Thompson though, given Durpree is out. Good chance for a youngster though

I'd agree with that NK. No need to rush AK as Eckersley is doing so well and I doubt he'd be expected to kick so soon after an MCL. He's supposedly fully fit and raring to go according to Josie on the other site, so who knows. 

For anyone who hasn't seen it yet the squad is:


1 Jai Field
2 Abbas Miski
3 Adam Keighran
4 Jake Wardle
5 Liam Marshall
6 Bevan French
7 Harry Smith
9 Brad O?Neill
10 Luke Thompson
11 Junior Nsemba
12 Liam Farrell
13 Kaide Ellis
16 Liam Byrne
17 Kruise Leeming
20 Harvie Hill
21 Sam Walter?s
22 Zach Eckersley
23 Tom Forber
26 Jacob Douglas
29 Taylor Kerr

Wouldn't surprise me if Miski was asked if he could get through the last couple of games knowing Keighran was coming back this week. Abbas has done a great job as he always does. Perhaps they'll send him for the surgery now and go with Eckersley on the wing going forward.


Thompson being available makes me much more confident. 


I would start Brad O'Neill assuming the coaching staff feel he's ready for it - for me he's a different level to Leeming although he can hopefully still be very effective making an impact off the bench.


Will be a very tough game regardless - great to see the improvement of Hull this year. Whether they can maintain their form throughout the year is the big question.

I've been so impressed with Hull this season. They're still having their usual injury crisis but Cartwright has managed to built a spirit and resilience that is over coming any problems. In saying that, it's all on us this weekend. If our attitude is right, we should win the game regardless of how well Hull play but we've seen us go there in the wrong frame of mind previously.  

I'd be surprised if Miski plays on Sunday as I was told that he was having his op straight after the Saints game. Clearly he hasn't had it yet if he's in the squad. 

Maybe they've hung back on it to see how AK is closer to game day? 

Our form may go later in the season but it may improve when we get our full strength team out.We are going well and proving all the doubters wrong about the players we have signed?we needed experienced players and they are proving a point
