TWO CHANGES FOR WAKEFIELD VISIT
By James Clark | Wednesday, 16 March 2011
Hull FC head coach Richard Agar has made two changes for Friday’s clash with Wakefield Trinity Wildcats, including the return of Sean Long.

The Black and Whites star scrum half has been back in training this week and is named in the 19-man squad for the Super League clash with the hope he can take his place in the final 17.

He’s joined by Jordan Turner who also comes back into the reckoning having missed out on selection for the trip to Wigan last time out.

However, despite the return of one star, there’s a blow for another with news that Mark O’Meley could be set for a spell on the sidelines.

The club are waiting results of scans this week after the Australian prop injured his foot at the DW Stadium and he isn’t named in the squad.

Kirk Yeaman is the other player to miss out having received a one-match suspension this week from the RFL’s Disciplinary Panel after being charged following a scuffle in the same match.

Squad v Wakefield:
T Briscoe, Dowes, Fitzgibbon, Horne, Houghton, Lauaki, Long, Lyne, Manu, Moa, Obst, Phelps, Radford, Sharp, Tickle, Turner, Washbrook, Westerman, Whiting.

still an impressive squad, ton of grunt and now finally tons of guille too

Briscoe, Dowes, Fitz, Horne, turner, Long, Houghton, Lauaki, Lyne, Manu, Moa, Obst, Phelps, Radford, Sharp, Tickle, Washbrook, Whiting, Westerman.

Not my team but RA will pick

Phelps
Sharp
Whiting
Turner
Briscoe
Horne
Long
Radford
Houghton
Moa
Tickle
Westerman
Fitz

Dowes
Hame
Manu
Obst

Fitzgibbon has to go at Prop, imo, as there's no O'Meley.

Phelps
Sharp
Whiting
Turner
Briscoe
Horne
Obst
Fitzgibbon
Houghton
Radford
Manu
Tickle
Westerman

Long
Moa
Lauaki
Washbrook (or maybe Dowes with Lauaki to the back row)

tbf to Dowes I thought he did okay against Wigan, no point shuffling everyone around to avoid playing him.

Dowes, Radders, Moa and Lauaki as the 4 props for me, nice balance of power and workrate.

swap obst for long, bring long on to spell houghton, obst can move into hooker then

be harsh on obst to not start, plus against his old teammates he probably want to show kear that he was worth starting a lot more than he was whilst at wakey

I couldn't make the Wigan game, so I was basing Dowes on his previous sub-par performances.

RA wont drop Long if available.

If it was up to me i'd have Obst at 7 and Washbrook on the bench.

at Ionians?

Come again ?

u21s

washey dropped to them?
