Agree with this

To be fair I don't think the Bradford game was one where you could judge if moving players around worked. Whiting got done on his outside by Purtell which is a worry.

Against a team in form we need to be 100% sure that players are playing to the best of their abilities, in my opinion playing a winger on the wing and a centre at centre gives us a better chance of that happening than a centre on the wing and a 2nd rower at centre.

I totally agree, i have stated that I dont think Whiting and Heremia are the best people to play the positions they did last week.



I would happily put a winger on the wing, if we had a fit winger that I feel was capable of doing a job against Cas, but at this time I am not confident Colborn is that man.



I really hope that if he selected I am wrong and he goes on to have a stormer and score a couple of trys, but just think we would be better with Crooks on the wing for this game, Cas will be very concerned about him after he scored 4 trys there last year.

have we all forgot Jason Crookes exists? Or is he injured/gone?

Not everyone - [url=http://www.hullfc.com/article/32342/injury-blow-for-winger-crookeshe's out for at least 4 months after shoulder reconstruction.[/url

So when there aren't 12,000 there what will the reason be? Cas fans didn't want to se the mighty FC? Or people from Hull hard up as they want to to the FA Cup semi-final?

Maybe people want to stay at home and have some engaging discussion on the forum with you?

The consensus of those that saw Colborn at the weekend seems to be that he wasn't match fit. Now the best way to get match fit is obviously to play matches but it was also said that he didn't look confident. For that reason I think he maybe needs another game under his belt with Donny before we consider him for selection. Make no mistake, this will be a tough game against a very good looking Cas side and playing a player with low confidence in this kind of match might be a bit of risk.



But as someone else has said if he plays I hope he has a stormer, proving my doubts and anyone else's wrong.

Lee Crooks said Ben knows the reasons for his drop out of the squad. I'd say to put him in a week later isn't addressing the reasons at all, more like using him as a stop-gap. We have plenty of cover there with Arundel, Colbon and Stark. Arundel/Colbon would be my choice.

If Ben knows why he was dropped then he knows what he knows what he needs to improve on in his game. Let him play & see if he's learnt

Because our ground doesn't hold 12,000. Simple.



We will be looking at closer to 10,000 anyway. There were about 6,500 cas fans against Wigan so say that goes up to 7000ish and you guys bring 3000. 10,000 will be a very good crowd for us. You always travel in numbers that's why it's always one of best home games of season to go to.

In less than a week? Can you coach that into someone in a few hours of training? Far better to give another the chance. Like it or not, he's still young, inexperienced and raw. Still prone to mistakes and the last thing you want is to kill his confidence if he's making errors.



Colbon may not have the speed, but in a game against an unbeaten team, he's invaluable. Thats why he was signed.



Beating Cas would be a yardstick and I know how implausible that would have sounded 12 months ago.
