Connor and Westerman both back for Hull. I didn't realise Westerman was due back this week. Big boost.

He should play prop he's huge, and got to be better then paea!!! 

[Ullman]

Listening to the interview with Joe Westerman the other day and reading Adam Pearson's notes just now makes me think it's touch and go whether Westerman will play.

Apparently there are 3 straight swaps for Hull, with the bench the same as last week. Miloudi for Dawson, Connor for Washbrook and Westerman for Hadley. 

Shaul

Miloudi, Tuimavave, Griffin, Faraimo

Connor, Sneyd

Taylor, Houghton, Matongo

Manu, Minichiello

Westerman

Bench: Paea, Thompson, Lane, Litten

That is indeed the team. Pleased with that. 

[Jeff Stein]

After an interminable week at work, looking forward to some rugby league to get me to the Friday finish line.

Hopefully with Connor and Miloudi in the team there should be a bit more exciting play shown by Hull than last week. Particularly pleased to see Miloudi to be honest.

Still fancy Cas will be a bit too good for them. Is this Watts first game back? If so, he may put in a big performance (or alternatively completely lose it).

Another late start. It's not difficult!

Took the words from my mouth . Lots of focus this year on shortening games , so why can’t sky buy into it and not have every game starting late 

[Chris22]

In football, teams get fined for late kick offs.

Also, nothing to do with the match, but I wonder how many times Chris Kendall says "get square" per match? Must be hundreds.

Oh, and 10-0 Cas ktc. Looking ominous for Hull.

[DavidM]

Miloudi is gonna see plenty of cas attack 

[Oliver Clothesoff]

Radford can’t be in this job much longer. They’re atrocious. 

[Dunbar]

Paul McShane is such a good hooker, the best we have after Roby for me. If he was in the NRL he would be comfortably ahead of Hodgson in the England pecking order.

[Man of Kent]

Amusingly pubescent tash being sported by Cas’ young half 

[Oliver Clothesoff]

What’s with the touch judges entering the field when there is a tackle near the edge of the pitch? It seemed to happen a lot in the opening round and it just happened again then. There is no foul play ongoing so it’s a bit odd.

Not looking good, is it?

[Padge]

Great try from Hull, well worked.

 

[Just Browny]

Shaul the king headshaker again. Is there a new award for that this year?

[DavidM]

Wonder what the odds are for watts to get penalised for a head shot on Taylor ?

[Gates1]

Shock horror, Cas letting a team back in the game by overplaying...

[Man of Kent]

Coming to the boil nicely this one.

12-10 FC after 28

Sene-Lafeo (I think) didn't overdo anything as that kick went towards him. Talk about lackadaisical.

At each scrum, every time he shouts 'clock off' I am certain he's saying something else!

[Padge]

Scrappier than al the scrap in a scrap yard.

Perhaps not, Connor having a dig now.

[MZH]

I was getting a bit worried then. Minichiello had gone nearly 3 halves of rugby without a knock on. I thought there was something wrong with him. 

[Man of Kent]

Hard lines. Tremendous footwork by Shaul
